Count Leverkin’s Mild Deviance (5)

A month has passed since Count Leverkin first visited Ace Changguan.

And during that period, he visited Changgwan every day, and visited Yurina every day and had a good time with her.

Naturally, his work time had to be late, so Count Leverkin’s wife, Alvida, had to stay up all night again today, waiting for her husband who did not return.

“…I heard there is no news from the West?”

“Yes. lady. I haven’t heard anything else… Would it be a good idea to put dinner away?”

Alvida felt so sorry for her husband, who worked overtime every night and was absorbed in government affairs, so when she saw him off this morning, she begged him to come home early today.

Then, despite her high status as the wife of the governor of Snelleda, a large city in the east, she cooked her own food for the first time in her life, taking advice from her maids.

However, Countess Leverkin’s return home was late again today, and the dish she had prepared with all her heart had gone cold on the table.

“…I can’t help it… This dish was prepared with expensive ingredients, but I think it would be better for you guys to eat together rather than just throw it away.”

“Ma’am, please eat first. How can we fill our stomachs when you haven’t eaten either?”

“No. The West is working so hard for the development of the empire, even skipping meals, so how can I be the only one eating? When I think about that, I don’t think I’ll pass up the food”

“…Madam…”

The maids who served Alvida looked at Alvida, who was sitting on the sofa and looking through the window at the gate that could not be opened, with sad eyes.

As the daughter of a samurai, Alvida was quite familiar with swords, but cutting a knife while cooking was a completely different story, so her fingers were engraved with numerous scars.

Although she was said to have healed the wound on her hand with a potion as she was a countess, she was a frugal woman who did not tolerate using expensive potions on minor wounds. The wound on Alvida’s hand had not yet fully healed, and she was showing how much she was doing for her husband. It showed that they tried hard.

“Hey… madam. Can I tell you one thing?”

“Hmm? Why are you doing that?”

“The food was prepared with great care by you, but it is inconvenient for us to eat it alone. We’d rather warm it up and prepare it as a packed lunch, so how about you bring it to the owner?”

“Do you mean lunch box? Ha, but… I can’t personally enter the Navy Command, a national institution…”

“What a great idea! Aren’t you the wife of your master, the commander-in-chief of the Navy? You are more than qualified to enter the headquarters!! And if you bring the lunch box yourself, the owner will be very happy!!”

The other maids also agreed with one maid’s idea and encouraged her, and Alvida’s heart began to move little by little.

“Well, is that so? I guess so, right?”

“Of course. The two of us will prepare lunch boxes and carriages right now. You guys, please quickly help me finish dressing up!!”

“Yes! Sister!!”

Under the instructions of the head maid, the maids of the Leverkin family moved in order.

As the maids of Governor Snelleda’s family, they were extremely skilled and were able to prepare Alvida in an instant and quickly turn the cold food into lunch boxes.

“Here it is! lady! Come and have a good time with the owner~”

“You don’t have to come in today~ Ma’am~~”

“You, you guys!!”

Although the maids had extreme differences in social status, Alvida treated them kindly, and the maids also sincerely served Alvida, so they happily sent off their master.

The maids who knew everything about her situation made her wear a much sexier dress than usual and she felt embarrassed when they told her to enjoy a sexy night. Alvida blushed as well, but she was seen off by the maids with an expression that she did not hate. The carriage departed for the Navy headquarters where my husband’s office was located.

‘Wouldn’t the West be surprised? But I’m sure you’ll be happy if you eat the lunch box I made myself. I only prepared food that is good for energy… tonight… hehe♥’

Thanks to Count Leverkin, who always arrived late, the couple had not been able to sleep together for a month, and Alvida, who had just entered her twenties, looked through the window at the naval headquarters getting closer, filled with anticipation of being able to spend a hot night with her husband for the first time in a long time.

And when she finally reached the entrance to the headquarters, she got out of the carriage and walked towards the main gate with several guards.

“Stop!! Stop the carriage immediately! This is an area where public access is strictly prohibited! Identify yourself immediately and turn the carriage around!”

Then, as expected from the headquarters, a tight security posture was waiting for her, and numerous guards were aiming at her with spears and bows and asking for her identity.

” Put away your weapons! This woman is the wife of Count James Leverkin von Snelleda, Governor of Snelleda and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. It’s Mrs. Alvida!!”

As one of the family’s guards revealed her identity, a murmur of voices could be heard from the guards.

“Okay, let me check your identity for a moment!”

After a while, the one who seemed to be the best of the guards approached the carriage with a torch and illuminated it.

Then, the coat of arms of Governor Snelleda and the coat of arms of Count Leverkin were painted on the carriage. And since Alvida’s beauty was quite famous in Snelleda, the guard immediately recognized her and took an unmoving stance.

“Chu, loyalty!! Nothing wrong with working!!”

“Please rest comfortably. Strictly speaking, I am not a soldier, so I am not your boss”

“No!! countess! Please come in!”

As the guard’s loud voice rang out in the quiet air of the night, the soldiers on duty at the guard post also learned Alvida’s identity, and they immediately pushed the fence to create a passage.

“There is a lot of hardship. By the way, if it’s okay, could you please guide me to the building where my husband works? It’s my first time coming inside here, so I don’t know the way”

“Well, that’s okay, but… His Excellency got off work, so why did your wife come here…”

When the guard tilted his head and asked the reason for his visit, Alvida’s eyes changed to one of extreme embarrassment.

“Well, is that possible? My husband hasn’t come home yet… You must have made a mistake”

“Oh, no!! We are verifying the identity of everyone coming and going. So there’s no way I wouldn’t know whether the most important governor, His Excellency, is home from work. Clearly, His Excellency the Governor-General left work on time at 6 o’clock”

Alvida’s eyes began to shake more and more violently as the guard clearly announced that her husband had come home from work.

“That can’t be… That can’t be…”

” If that’s the case, please go to His Excellency the Governor-General’s office. My full-time worker may have been mistaken”

Following the guard’s advice to go to the office and check, Alvida nodded and quickly walked away.

‘Okay… the worker must have been mistaken. I must advise the West to improve the discipline of his soldiers. ‘How can you possibly be mistaken about whether the commander-in-chief is home from work or not?’

“Bae, Countess!! Please go slowly!!”

“Eight!! No need to follow!! I can go on my own!”

Alvida, who headed to the office with her last hope, went up to the third floor where Count Leverkin’s office was located at a speed so fast that the soldiers could not keep up.

There was only Count Leverkin’s office on the third floor, the highest floor, so she opened the door and went in immediately, and the empty office she saw inside shattered her last hope.

“Boo, ma’am!! Why, why are you in such a hurry? Well, as I said, His Excellency already got off work… Heeek!!”

The guard who followed her to guide her looked at Alvida and tried to assert that his claim was correct, but he had to avert his eyes in disgust at the tremendous murderousness emanating from her.

“…Call me…!”

“Boo, are you calling me? Who, who…”

“Someone who knows my husband’s whereabouts! okay! My husband’s lieutenant! If you call him, you will find out where your husband has gone!! If you don’t want your head blown off, tell him to run here within 30 minutes!! Right now!!!”

“Yes, old times! Okay!!”

At the sound of Alvida’s sharp, murderous voice calling for her adjutant, the guards rushed out at high speed to call Teach.

Fortunately, Teach lived near the headquarters, so he was able to arrive within the 30 minutes limited by Alvida, and as soon as he entered, he was overcome by the brutal murderous fire aimed at him and was forced to break out in a cold sweat.

“It will be good for your personal image to answer straight and honestly from now on. Steve Teach. Do you understand?”

Teach sat in the commander-in-chief’s chair and nodded frantically to Alvida’s question to him.

“If you understand, tell me right away. My husband… where is he now?”
