Reincarnated as an Overly Timid Countess

Master Shar, your wife is not an ordinary woman.」

Hue barged into the room, while Shar was working in the mansion.

He had asked him to check on his wife, but he wondered what he meant by 「not ordinary.」

Ram’s family was a spendthrift baronial family, and she herself was supposed to be a frail young lady with little magical power.

「She can handle more than just light magic. And I think she’s pretty good at it.」

「What do you mean?」

「Today, I went with Madam to check up on Kanon, and she performed some massive spatial magic and illusion magic in the academy, and… we were all blown away.」

「You must have been dreaming.」

「No, I’m not the only witness. If you think I’m lying, check it out.」

I was skeptical about the inexplicable details, so Hue continued with his report.

「And as for the maids and servants who were sent away one after another… I found out that they’ve been ganging up to treat the Madam coldly. I’m not sure what to make of it. One of the maids, in particular, urged Madam to introduce her to you.」

「What?」

「The cook has also been providing leftovers for Madam’s meals. It seems that she has been restricted from going out freely for the past few months and was unable to visit Kanon-sama until today…Madam must have lost her patience. Maybe you should have paid a little more attention to how she was doing.」

「…………」

Bereft of words to say in response, Share silently turned away.

「So that baron’s daughter is more than just a sickly, narrow-minded woman.」

「Master Shar, you’ve always hated women because of your previous wife, but have you become interested in your new wife?」

「…Yeah, a little.」

When I first met her when she entered the Mercure mansion, I thought she was a boring woman. 

She’s someone who’s always scared of every little thing and who’d only peek at someone’s face – a person who has no thoughts of her own.

The only impression I had of Ram was that she’s a submissive woman.

However, I’m curious about someone who excels in magic, whether she’s my wife or not. Especially if Hue is this shaken.

「Hue, is Ram back at the mansion?」

「Yes. After returning from the stroll, I escorted her to her room. I can’t guarantee that she hasn’t moved around, though.」

「I see.」

Shar got up from his chair and walked towards the door.

「Where are you heading?」

「To my wife’s.」

「Have a great day. Good luck in getting to know your wife.」

Hue flashed an annoying grin as Shar made his way to Ram’s room.
