093 “(Quick Travel) Meat Eating Journey” Chapter 92
byChapter 92 Western Fantasy‧Whoring Temple Knights (5)
Margery’s peaceful life was broken again. The last time she felt anxious like this every day was when Alex and her were newly married and took a month’s wedding leave at home.And Margaery keenly discovered that compared to the still unfamiliar behavior at that time, Alex was closer to her now.
He took her to and from get off work on time every day, had three meals a day together, and they didn’t even sleep in separate rooms now – after staying at home for five days, Alex took his pillow to the big bed in the master bedroom without any explanation.Of course, he was still peaceful in bed, but those casual skin-to-skin contacts had already made Margery nervous for a while.
What surprised Margery even more was that Alex even invited her out for a walk after dinner!
By the God of Light, her unsmiling husband would actually invite her for a walk!And the locations chosen are all places that look quite romantic, such as riverside, small bridges, gardens…
Margery felt that she couldn’t understand Alex anymore. In her memory, Alex probably only had faith and swordsmanship in her heart. Just like she was crazy about magic, the two of them were essentially the same person.Once you are immersed in your own world, you won’t care about anyone or anything around you.It’s just that Alex is among the objects of Margery’s obsession, but she is not in Alex’s eyes.
Margery has a shocking guess – is Alex going to divorce her?!
Although divorce is a great shame for a noble, Alex, as a Grand Knight of the Temple, completely lost the opportunity to be promoted to a Paladin because of his marriage to Margaery. Paladins must belong to the God of Light both physically and mentally, and secular marriages are not allowed.Margery thought that Alex would be very happy if he could get out of this marriage.So there is an explanation for Alex’s abnormality during this period, just like the death row prisoners will eat a sumptuous decapitation meal before going to the execution ground. This is probably Alex’s last comfort to Margery. After all, he is really considerate.
Although Margery is slow, it does not mean that she is a fool. She has realized that her husband is a very careful person, and his thoughtfulness is always so calm.
After sending Margery to work on the first day and being watched by passers-by, Margery thought she would have to endure the suffocating eyes following her after get off work, but in the end she only saw the carriage and the driver at the school gate.She was actually a little disappointed. The man who said he would take her to and from get off work was really just a joke.
The girl opened the door and saw Alex sitting in the car.
He was reading a book, and his blond hair fell down from his forehead, making his stern face look soft for a moment.When he noticed someone pushing the door open, he raised his head, and a smile seemed to flash in his deep blue eyes.Then he raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
It was really a smile, although it was very light and faint, but he was really smiling at Margaery.
At that moment, huge joy swept over her, and Margaery subconsciously took a step back.She didn’t know how to respond, her heartbeat was like a dense drumbeat buzzing in her ears. She couldn’t hear the noisy people outside the carriage, couldn’t hear Alex’s low words, and could only respond to him with a strange smile in a daze.
She must have been so stupid at that time, but now that she thought about it, Margaery couldn’t help but cover her face in shame.If Alex really wants to divorce her, she can understand it, because she is really, really stupid!
However, Alex didn’t seem to care about his wife’s clumsy response. After that, when he came to pick up Margaery from get off work, he just stayed in the carriage and didn’t show up.Margery didn’t notice it at first, and she didn’t realize it until a few days later. Alex must have noticed her discomfort in front of others, so he did it deliberately.
More details were discovered one by one by Margery.
She always protects her with her body when going out, and never takes her for walks to crowded places. Even the servants at home have reduced the frequency of their appearance in front of Margery – the girl thinks that she is being very subtle. She is just not used to being served by others, especially those who serve her look more glamorous than her.
Such silent and meticulous delicacy is like a dose of poison in a gentle country. Even though she knows that this is just out of Alex’s chivalry, the girl still sinks in without any resistance.
With this beautiful memory before the divorce, Margery felt that she was satisfied.
The next morning at the breakfast table, there were no onions on Margery’s plate.She remembered Alex looking at her at that time, and with just a brief glance, the man noticed her aversion to onions and quietly ordered the servants not to let onions appear on her plate again.
Even Margery’s father had never noticed this little habit of his daughter.
Even if Margery didn’t love Alex, for such a considerate man, I’m afraid she would be willing to spend her life with him as his wife.Not just her, any woman wouldn’t want to have such a husband.But Alex cannot belong to her. Even if this man will not dedicate his body and soul to the gods, Margaery is not worthy of him.
The Farman family’s mansion is actually not far from the Temple of Light. Several times during their after-dinner walks, they walked near the temple without realizing it.Alex is not a talkative person, and it is only at this time that he becomes more talkative.Margaery should have been secretly happy. Even though she was not used to the two of them being alone, Alex even held her hand, but she couldn’t suppress the joy in her heart.
Until they met Fenelis, the priestess of the temple, a blond beauty with the name of a saint.
She and Alex looked so perfect together, with the same blond hair and blue eyes, one as holy as water and the other as cold as ice.It’s like a mural on the dome of a church, so beautiful that it’s just out of reach.The most important thing is that Margaery saw the deep love for Alex in Phoenix’s eyes.
That night, Margery couldn’t sleep.
She suddenly remembered a puppet show she had watched when she was a child. A circus clown rescued a comatose aristocratic lady on the roadside. He fell in love with the lady at first sight, took good care of her and accompanied her day and night, but the lady was frowning all day long.Why is this, the clown thought anxiously, as long as he could see her smile, he would do anything.
He tried his best to think of ways to make the lady laugh. He did tricks, made faces, and racked his brains. Finally one day, the lady laughed.He was ecstatic, but saw the young lady stand up, run past him like the wind, and throw herself into the arms of the noble prince who had come from afar.
Miss, Miss… The clown stood aside silently. He saw the young lady chatting and laughing with the young man. They were very close, and their every move showed an incomparable tacit understanding. From the beginning to the end, they did not even look at him.
Of course, he is just a clown.
The humble, ugly, small clown who can never get close to him.
“Alex.” Margaery pushed open the ajar door.
Alex was working at his desk, and he couldn’t help but froze when he heard the low call – this was the first time Margery took the initiative to call his name.Are you okay? He was just about to reply when he suddenly remembered the instructions of his colleagues and swallowed the words abruptly, replacing them with a softer response: “What’s wrong?”
Against the bright candlelight in the room, the girl’s figure cast a long shadow on the carpet.He saw Margery lowering her head and said slowly but firmly: “Let’s… get a divorce.”
