Huyd conducted the class while sweating profusely. There were children who had come newly after hearing rumors that Huyd was teaching. So he couldn’t help but be more nervous than usual.

‘Ah.’

After the two-hour class ended, Huyd was almost exhausted.

‘How does Judith do this so well.’

If he told Judith about this, she would surely giggle and laugh, saying ‘But Huyd is better at treating patients, right?’

Everything became light in front of her.

With that lightness, she must be okay even while being pregnant alone without the child’s father.

He had asked probing questions several times, but Judith didn’t talk about the child’s father.

However, seeing her say ‘That’s why I had to divorce Ekian Meius urgently,’ it didn’t seem to be Ekian’s child.

But Huyd decided not to be curious about who the child’s father was anymore. Even though he had already spent several days with Judith, she still didn’t see him as a man at all.

She felt comfortable with him and relied on him to some extent, but from what he could see, it was no different from the feelings she had for Kastin.

Actually, he had been aiming to become someone she could lean on, taking advantage of her weakened state from being alone. But she hadn’t shown even the slightest gap yet. It seemed to be because Judith thought of everything lightly.

Huyd was also light to her. If Huyd said ‘I’m going to return to the Soden Marquisate now,’ Judith would likely wave her hand cheerfully saying ‘Yes, it was fun. See you next time.’

‘Should I buy some cheese.’

After sending all the students away, Huyd, who had been sitting blankly for a moment, slowly got up.

‘I saw her eating well this morning.’

They had plenty of groceries from shopping yesterday evening, but still, since it was something Judith ate well, he wanted to buy plenty to stock up.

‘Is she feeling unwell somewhere? Why on earth did she say she couldn’t teach today?’

She was someone with tremendous sense of responsibility, so it was indeed concerning that she suddenly skipped class. It made him more anxious knowing she wouldn’t share any problems with him.

‘I should buy fresh eggs too…’

Huyd tried to suppress his anxious feelings and headed to the market after leaving the school’s main gate. He always somehow managed to time it to go to the market with Judith, but this was his first time going alone.

And someone who had hidden their presence followed behind him, but naturally Huyd didn’t notice.

There were quite many markets in Arten Territory. It was because it was such a large territory.

Among them, the market that Huyd and Judith frequented was closest to the Marquis’ Manor, and accordingly had good and fresh products and was the largest market in the vicinity.

Thanks to Kastin coming out for medical support, they were living in quarters close to the Marquis’ Manor, so they naturally came to frequent the closest and largest market.

Usually when shopping, Huyd’s role was to stand silently behind and carry the bags.

This was because everyone was kind to Judith and wanted to talk to her.

So when Huyd went shopping alone, he never imagined that the shop people would talk to him.

“Where did you leave Teacher Yus? You always come together! Why are you alone today?”

Huyd could easily guess that if he said ‘Yus is sick’ here, students would line up saying they wanted to visit her.

So he spoke as naturally as possible.

“Ah, Yus has family matters… today is a bit. It’s a bit awkward for me to talk about it.”

Well, a single-person household is still a household.

Strictly speaking, it was Judith’s situation, but it wasn’t a lie to say it that way.

“I see. Still, it was nice to see you two always sticking together!”

The lady selling eggs clicked her tongue and said.

“But as I know, didn’t Anne bring a bunch of eggs a few days ago?”

“Ah, but I thought if I bought fresher eggs, she might eat them better. She doesn’t eat as deliciously as the omelet I made on the first day.”

“Oh my, how sweet. I wish my husband resembled the doctor even half as much.”

Huyd tilted his head slightly at that moment.

Was the lady thinking that the relationship between her and her husband was… the same as the relationship between him and Judith?

But he didn’t want to point it out unnecessarily. Because it didn’t feel bad.

The lady selling eggs smiled and patted Huyd’s back firmly.

“If you keep sticking together, you’ll eventually develop feelings. Make sure to come together as usual tomorrow. Got it?”

“Yes, I understand.”

Huyd happily received the eggs.

But the cheese shop said the same thing.

“Teacher Yus said she wanted to eat this yesterday. So you’re buying it again? She must have enjoyed it?”

“Ah, yes. Please give me a bit more today.”

The man selling cheese laughed heartily.

“It’s really nice to see. I was like that during my honeymoon too. I closed the shop and walked with my wife on her way home from work. My wife originally did accounting for the Knights’ Order, you know? I waited in front of the Knights’ Order every day. Just like you.”

“Ahaha… Well, that’s just, we naturally ended up like this since we live under the same roof.”

Huyd laughed awkwardly but didn’t feel bad, so his ears turned slightly red. Perhaps because of this, the cheese merchant continued with similar remarks.

“Taking walks like that, buying this and that, well, that’s happiness. Right? When young men and women spend time like that, it’s happiness. At times like that, you don’t envy our Marquis or even the Emperor. Isn’t that right?”

“Well…”

Huyd felt his mouth unconsciously gaping open as he answered.

“That’s right.”

It seemed the market people hadn’t been able to say such things to Huyd because they were being considerate of pregnant Judith.

Huyd continued to hear similar well-wishes along with this unfamiliar attention.

He even heard similar things from shops he just passed by without buying anything.

“Oh my, you look lonely walking alone! Make sure to come with Teacher Yus next time!”

“You were always sticking together? Is Yus feeling unwell today? Go home and give her my regards. Tell her I’m worried.”

“She’s not sick, is she? Then maybe she’s become a bit sensitive? Well, the territory has been a bit noisy because of the Crown Prince’s visit, hasn’t it?”

Huyd nodded without much thought.

He had heard rumors that the Marquis had suddenly come.

It was a bit surprising that the identity of the precious guest they thought would arrive in about three days turned out to be the suddenly appearing Marquis.

Huyd didn’t know the person who was said to be the Crown Prince’s younger brother. He had never heard of such a person either in the Capital or in the Soden Marquisate.

But he was more concerned about Judith, who had declared she wouldn’t go outside unlike usual, so he had no intention of finding out more.

Originally, even when he grew up on the farm, he wasn’t very interested in his superiors.

He had even been too busy preparing for the class Judith had entrusted to him all morning to have time to go outside. This was his first time meeting outsiders.

“So many outsiders have come in. Just the people the Marquis brought are incredible. They’re making all sorts of strange noises and causing a commotion. Well, they’re going around saying something about Grey Master or something, but I couldn’t understand what they were talking about at all.”

“Right. I heard there’s even a strange masked person wandering around in the neighboring market. It seems like some crazy people got mixed in too.”

Huyd listened with one ear and let it out the other.

He had bought everything he needed and was only eager to quickly return to Judith.

He put the eggs and cheese in the bicycle basket and began pedaling with a nimble posture, unlike yesterday.

A coastal town in the east.

“Ron! Ron!”

Ron staggered into the small shop.

“Ron! What on earth is this…”

Elizabeth was startled and supported Ron.

The child cried loudly at the suddenly chaotic household scene.

“Be quiet!”
