I’m the Cruel Saint, but I Want to Help my Dear Husband. Translation

50.3 I Wish for My Husband’s Happiness!

In the usual greenhouse at Heydemarie’s mansion, Charlotte was staring at nowhere.

The sky visible through the glass was full of dull gray clouds.

The snow cascaded and piled up on top of the greenhouse, slowly melting with the heat that was transmitted through it.

Suddenly, she recalled her beloved.

…Lord Oswald, are you currently at work?

Charlotte thought that as she took a deep breath.

I’m sure he’s looking gallant again today and is working hard as usual! Oh, how wonderful Lord Oswald is when he’s at work…

I want to see you.

Such was her deepest wish.

Yet, at the same time, she hoped against it.

She didn’t want to cause any troubles for Oswald, yet she missed him dearly—so much that her heart was about to break.

Nevertheless, if she were to weigh both options, the decision to not hinder Oswald won out.

Mumumu… This is no good! I keep pondering about the same thing, over and over again!

As she slapped her own cheeks, Charlotte reprimanded herself.

Stay strong, me! Right now, my only merit lies in my love for Lord Oswald! In that case, let’s stay true to my wish for Lord Oswald’s happiness!

…However, the moment she made that resolution, Heydemarie’s words pierced through her.

“It shouldn’t be up to you to decide what makes Langheim happy.”

Lord Oswald…

Charlotte pursed her lips.

What would make him happy?

She closed her eyes and pretended to ask him in his heart.

…As for me, I’d be happy if Lord Oswald is happy… But at the same time, it’s not up to me to decide what makes him happy…

In that case, she should be upfront with him.

How strange…

Making that decision and leaving of my own accord was simple…

Charlotte ran away from home out of her own volition.

Had Oswald told her to leave, she’d surely never recover.

…Lord Oswald also mentioned that I went above and beyond for him, yet I refused to let him reciprocate the gesture…

Well, he’s right…

She took a deep breath.

Thus, Charlotte decided to go see Oswald.

Then, please give me an order, Lord Oswald! If that’s the case—

—Suddenly, the greenhouse door opened.

There, she could saw a certain figure.

“Irene!”

One of her friends from that mansion—the red-haired lady, Irene, stared at her before averting her gaze.

“…Charlotte. So, you’re here.”

“Yes, I’ve been here for a while! Still, I haven’t seen you since everyone helped me get my hair done for the party!”

Charlotte rushed over to her.

“Lady Irene, how’s your injured hand?”

“I-it has fully recovered, now… Thanks to you, for healing me in this greenhouse at that time…”

“I’m glad to hear you’ve recovered! For what reason did you visit Mrs. Heydemarie today? We have no lesson today, right?”

“…To be frank, I might have to move away, soon.”

Charlotte was startled at the confession.

“I might be entering the dormitory of the magic academy.”

“Wow, is that so!?”

In that case, Irene might be fortunate.

…After all, Irene has a crush on her classmate who lives in the dormitory of the magic academy! By living in the dormitory, she should be able to spend more time with her crush!

But.

Irene’s expression made her wonder.

…Why does she look so tense?

If anything, Irene’s complexion was awful…

“Lady Irene, by any chance, are you worried about something…?”

“…”

When Charlotte peered into her face, Irene’s delicate shoulders jolted.

“…Lady Irene?”

“…Charlotte, you—”

—She looked straight at Charlotte.

Then, she blurted it out.

“—Are you the saint?”

“!!”

Right after that, a green magic circle was deployed at Charlotte’s feet.

this is a teleport spell…!!

“I can’t believe it! You’re that deplorable woman! That ill-natured girl!”


***T/N: YES!!! COMMUNICATION, CHARLOTTE!! GOOD JOB, HEYDEMARIE!!!
