章 889: Chapter 889

"I'm sorry, madam, but his lordship is in another mansion," an elderly butler said respectfully.

"What is going on? I thought for sure my husband is in this mansion," Althea still managed to smile a bit since the butler looked troubled.

He explained to her that Claudius wished for a solitary life and didn't want to do his responsibilities as a noble anymore. He just wanted to live quietly in the countryside and not be bothered by everyone.

'So I am also a bother?! That bastard! It's not as if I wanted to marry him. I just had to do this for my family.'

Althea almost passed out when the butler showed her a map of the dukedom and pointed out where her husband's other mansion was. It was so far away. It was already close to the borders.

She still insisted to be led to Claudius' secluded mansion. It was clear from the Head Maid's words in the castle that she has to be where Claudius was. The Duke and Duchess also asked her to take care of their son.
