Chapter 188: Scene CLXXXIII

Silent, the man stared at the piece loosening the grip of his hand on hers. And as stillness governed their chambers, his hand took the end of it’s sleeve… stroking the fabric with deep ponder.

“… You say you found this at the coffers?”

“? Yes… It is a delicate piece, truly magnificent…”

“… Ewelina…” — Troubled by her thoughts on the dress before them, his wishes felt heavy to tell… and yet, his head turned to look at the wife. Ready to tell his request. — “Don’t wear this.”

“Huh?? W-why? Does Husband dislike it?”
