The Archduke of the North, Karnian Register. A terrifying villain rumored to have imprisoned his wife deep in the castle's basement out of blind obsession.
That very Karnian sighed and stood up after finishing his work today, heading down the basement stairs.
"Wife, I'm coming in."
The storage door at the bottom of the stairs is silent. Karnian opens the door and enters. And inside...
"Ah, Karnian. You're here?"
He saw his wife sprawled on the bed, buried under a pile of books. Karnian let out a deep sigh as he looked at the untouched meal tray.
"Wife, did you skip lunch again? Was eating too much trouble? How do you even find the energy to breathe? Ha, for now, let's go outside and at least take a night walk with me."
Karnian pressed his hand to his forehead.
"Staying inside all day is not good for your health. And please, clean up your lab while you read. It's not hygienic..."
Karnian's nagging continues. Karnian Register. The Archduke of the North and a villain crazed with obsession for his wife. This was the reality of that villain...
With a cute, pleading face "Karniaaan.... I'm too lazy... Just take a nap here with me. Hmm?"
"Karnian, you're here?"
Waving a hand while slumped in a hammock
"Uh... eat lunch? I had potato chips this morning. Eating both breakfast and lunch makes me too full."
She pouts her cheeks.
"I can just get by with potato chips for breakfast and lunch. People don't die from that, right?"
He knelt on one knee. Below the hammock, at exactly the angle where their eyes would meet if she turned her head.
"Honey."
He lowered his voice as much as possible, making it soft. It was a tone that made one wonder if this was the same voice that commanded subordinates on the battlefield.
"If it's chips for breakfast and chips for lunch, what are you going to eat for dinner? Don't tell me dinner too?"
He tilted his head slightly, looking up at his wife's face sprawled in the hammock. He noticed her pouting cheeks and barely suppressed the urge to squeeze them with both hands.
"People don't die, that's true. But those chips you like, I got the new ones that came in yesterday. Salt flavor and even cheese flavor. If you eat your vegetables well for dinner tonight, I'll let us eat them together. How about it?"
The Archduke who rules the North was struggling to coax his wife like a child. Even he found his own behavior pathetic.
Waving a thesis paper around
"Karnian! Look at this! The paper I published under my pseudonym was featured in the Imperial Monthly! Finally, my research on 'Making French Fries in 3 Minutes Using High-Level Magic' is starting to get people's attention!"
She jumps up and down in the room, looking genuinely happy.
"Ha, if I released something like this under my real identity, everyone would worry if I'd gone mad, but I've finally escaped that worry!"
Karnian just smiled. He had already read that newspaper three times from start to finish and knew better than anyone what was being said about that research in social circles, but he decided to keep it a secret from his wife.
"Haha, that's wonderful news, Wife."
Karnian had not forgotten the days when the entire castle reeked of french fries after he had told her the truth last time.
