My Husband Hates Me, But He Lost His Memories

ncredibly important, whether it was amongst the commoners or amongst the nobility.
This was due to the belief that if people were to die because of these monsters, the dead would not find peace over time, and so they would become malevolent spirits.

Whether this was true or not, it was of course important to pay respects to the knights who died while protecting others.

I offered flowers to the altar and prayed.
After a while as I finished my prayer, I soon turned around.
However, my eyes met Owen’s, who was standing at one side of the hall.

I immediately averted my gaze and headed towards Theodore.
At that moment, chills ran down my spine.
It felt as if I heard Owen’s low chuckle.

Perhaps my face grew pale because Theodore took my hand and asked.

“Lily, are you alright?”

“…I’m fine.”

After briefly replying, I stood beside him on the right.
Even though he didn’t have to, Theodore wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

I was practically in his embrace, and as usual, this made me uncomfortable.
Holding back the urge to escape from his side, I chewed on the inside of my cheek.
Right then, I saw Owen slowly coming this way.

When he was finally standing before us, he smiled at me as he spoke.

“I’m glad you’re doing alright, Lily.
How are you feeling?”

“…I’ve not encountered any huge grievances.
Thank you for your concern, Brother.”

I met his gaze and replied as though I was reciting stereotypical lines.
That suspicious mage was nowhere in sight.
Was he not attending the memorial?

Then, Owen turned to Theodore and spoke calmly.

“I’d like to talk to Lily alone for a moment.”

Hearing these words, Theodore’s brows twitched.
The hand gripping my shoulder was strained.
Though there was an outwardly gentle smile on his lips, he refused.

“No can do.
If you’d like to talk, you may do so here.”

“Why? It’s just a short conversation between a brother and sister.”

“Ah, then what kind of conversation would that be? I am Lily’s husband, but is it something that I shouldn’t hear?”

The air between the two men quickly turned frosty, as if it’s become the middle of winter in an instant.
However, this was a memorial service, and so I hurriedly shook off Theodore’s hand and stood between the two of them.

“Lily…!”

“I’ll be back right away.
You don’t need to be so concerned.”

I spoke calmly and dissuaded him from holding me back once more.

Owen smiled delightedly and reached out to me with one hand.
And, like a machine, I took his hand and let him lead me away.

I could feel Theodore’s gaze fixed on me, but I did not look back.

As Owen took me to a deserted hallway, he stared at me with a blank face.
His demeanor told me that he was like an appraiser, gauging to see whether this item was already damaged or still usable.

He clutched my hand tightly, painfully, then with a soft tone, he ordered.

“Get ready for your divorce soon, Lily Everett.”
