IELNDMH - Chapter 89 < Momentum to Run to Rebecca >
I Ended Up Living Up Next Door With My Ex-Husband
At the same time, Cedric was looking out the window, holding his breath.
To be more specific, he was watching a man and a woman break up.
He tried to act calm towards Rebecca, but now his heart was wavering helplessly like a sailboat on angry waves.
Rebecca Twins.
She was the only woman who shook his senses, but on the other hand, she was also the person who quickly regained his senses that had been scattered.
I don't want to be hated by Rebecca.
That was the only thing that made Cedric hold on to reason.
Cedric held his heart together and managed to reconnect the string of reason that almost broke several times.
While watching Adrian’s affectionate gaze towards Rebecca. And even as he saw Rebecca's eyes getting wet because of Adrian.
How long did he endure that time when his heart was in turmoil due to his jealousy?
When Adrian finally disappeared in a vast purple light, a long sigh of relief flowed from Cedric.
Wanting to cool his face, flushed with unwelcome excitement, he slowly opened the window and leaned forward.
Then he seemed to see Rebecca's face closer.
That fact alone made his heart beat happily again, but unfortunately, that sentiment was not everything.
Teardrops rolled down Rebecca's small chin as she looked at the spot Adrian had left.
It was painful for Cedric to have to just watch her cry because of another man.
Moderate anxiety is sometimes necessary in romantic relationships, but in Cedric's case, the problem was that it was extreme.
It was at that time that he quickly lost his composure and turned towards Rebecca's door to run straight to her.
The doorkeeper's voice was heard from outside the door along with a low knocking sound.
“Your Highness the Grand Duke, it is said that Minister Diat has come to visit you on business.”
After hearing that story, Cedric closed his eyes tightly with an annoyed sigh.
What kind of business does he have that he dared to come to his bedroom at this late night?
In his temper, Cedric wanted to tear him apart right now and go to Rebecca.
He was already in a low mood, and when an intruder appeared, he could clearly feel that his patience was reaching its limit.
'I think it would be safe to say that that man was torn to death by a wild animal while taking a walk alone at night.'
Although it was only a short moment, Cedric's concerns were very serious.
But he soon shook his head.
It was because he remembered Rebecca's words that she wanted to remarry properly and with the Pope's blessing without causing a social uproar.
“...Tell him to come in.”
As soon as his command was given, Minister Diat entered the bedroom as if he had been waiting.
He bowed slightly and took a close look inside the bedroom.
It's like looking for someone hidden.
'I wish Rebecca were really hiding here.'
That was what he wanted too.
But now, because of someone, he was breaking up with Rebecca.
Cedric gritted his teeth as he looked at the face of that ‘someone.’
“Seeing as you came to my bedroom late at night, it must have been quite urgent business, Minister Diat.”
This meant that if it was not an urgent matter, it would be a major offense to do so.
Moreover, Cedric was now running out of mercy to show for that disrespect.
Whether he was aware of the situation or not, the High Priest Diat shook his head in a naturally shameless manner.
“Not really. I was just getting ready for bed when a thought occurred to me. If the Pope were to stay at Twins Castle, I wonder if he would like to occasionally convey the word of God to His Highness the Grand Duke...”
"Ha?"
“Moreover, there is no better time than right before going to bed to listen to the word of God.”
It seemed that High Priest Diat was planning to use his temporary position as acting Pope to his heart's content.
Cedric had a stern expression on his face, and it felt like his stomach was twisted as he listened to him talk and talk like that.
He was well aware of the diversity of humans, and it had been a long time since he gave up his expectations of them, but among them, High Priest Diat was the most difficult type of human to endure.
For a moment, he frowned like a person struggling to endure a bad smell.
One corner of Cedric's mouth immediately turned up at an angle.
“Yes, if High Priest Diat wants to stay with me that much, I will do so. Aren’t you the Pope’s representative?”
Cedric guided High Priest Diat to the sofa, summoned the doorkeeper, and ordered him to speak quietly.
The servant nodded his head a couple of times and left the bedroom, and Cedric took a seat on the sofa across from High Priest Diat.
While Cedric was briefly talking with the servant, High Priest Diat, who was looking around the bedroom, made eye contact with Cedric and cleared his throat awkwardly.
“This is what the Grand Duke’s bedroom looks like. I know this is rude, but can you take a closer look? I’m curious because I rarely get a chance to see the spaces of high-ranking nobles.”
That's not because he wants to tear it apart to find someone hiding.
Cedric, who was leisurely snickering with his arms crossed, slowly nodded his head.
“Okay, feel free to look around.”
Even if he searched for hundreds of days, not even a single strand of Rebecca's hair would be found.
At Cedric's proud attitude, High Priest Diat's eyes wavered helplessly between trust and suspicion.
I hope so for a while.
High Priest Diat stood up with a look of slight suspicion on his face.
“Then, since you gave permission, at the risk of being rude....”
Cedric nodded his head leisurely again.
“Even so.”
High Priest Diat looked at Cedric with an uncertain expression and began to look inside the bedroom.
'It was worse than I thought.'
Cedric sighed with a tired expression and glanced at the clock.
Rebecca's heart grew even more anxious as he realized that it was not long before she fell asleep.
‘Vincent, you useless bastard. No matter how far it is from the dark mansion to here, you haven't arrived yet.'
It was at that time when he frowned and touched his temple.
“Your Highness, Vincent is looking for you for a moment.”
Finally, good news came from outside the door.
Cedric jumped up from his seat without realizing it and answered in a slightly angry voice.
“I have a guest now, so I will go out myself. Told him to wait a little while at the door.”
Then, even the shameless High Priest of Diat seemed to have noticed a little.
“If it’s because of me, you don’t have to worry. I don’t mind if you come in and stay with me if you don’t feel uncomfortable.”
It was truly a favor for which he could not even feel the slightest gratitude.
Cedric slowly shook his head.
“This is my cousin who stays in the mansion next door. I guess they came here just to talk nonsense again. I’ll talk to him outside the door and then send him away, so you can just look around the bedroom in the meantime.”
Fortunately, High Priest Diat did not capture him any longer, and Cedric was finally able to escape from his clutches.
High Priest Diet, who was left alone, opened his eyes hesitantly and continued to look around.
While Cedric was away for a moment, he opened the door next to him and even checked inside the closet.
But not even a fly was seen, let alone Rebecca.
'I haven't seen the two of them meet lately, and when I visited them by surprise, I saw that they were both calm, so it really seemed like nothing had happened...'
High Priest Diat licked his lips again and tilted his head.
“But why do I keep feeling uncomfortable?”
It was only after he unconsciously recited that, that he suddenly realized.
‘Yeah, that subtlety. That subtle atmosphere between the two people keeps giving me an uncertain feeling.'
It was something that had never felt before they were officially a married couple.
The relationship between a man and a woman who live in different mansions and do not see each other often is so suspicious.
It was a time when he shook his head because he couldn't understand himself.
“Ah, you’re back. Your Highness the Grand Duke.”
High Priest Diat spoke to Cedric as he entered the bedroom again.
However, Cedric looked himself up and down as if it were his first time seeing something, and moreover, as if he were looking at something strange.
He even felt a strange, unfamiliar energy from Cedric.
'...What's unfamiliar? The face of the Prince of Twins, who came to the North and was tired of seeing it.'
He tried to act calm towards Rebecca, but now his heart was wavering helplessly like a sailboat on angry waves.
Rebecca Twins.
She was the only woman who shook his senses, but on the other hand, she was also the person who quickly regained his senses that had been scattered.

He even felt a strange, unfamiliar energy from Cedric.
'...What's unfamiliar? The face of the Prince of Twins, who came to the North and was tired of seeing it.'
High Priest Diat scolded himself and slightly shook his head.
Perhaps the reason why Cedric was looking at him like that was to give him an idea that he had not yet finished exploring the bedroom.
'I guess I acted too shamelessly.'
Huh. High Priest Diat cleared his throat and looked at Cedric again.
“I’ve just finished looking at the bedroom. By the way, you came back earlier than expected. Isn’t it because of me that you rushed to end the conversation with your cousin?”
It was a polite question.
However, Cedric was busy looking at High Priest Diat without even saying a word.
He hopes the vague and awkward silence continues for a moment. Cedric suddenly burst into laughter.
A laugh that is not at all like Cedric's.
High Priest Diat looked up at him with wide eyes.
“Nice to meet you, High Priest Diot.”
“...This is Diat. Also, it's nice to meet you. We’ve been apart for less than three minutes.”
“Ah, is that so? What's wrong? I haven’t seen you in three minutes, so isn’t it possible to be happy?”
Cedric chuckled again, uncharacteristically like him.
Rather than the fact that Cedric mispronounced his name, High Priest Diat felt more disgusted by the fact that he had heard something from him that could easily be misunderstood as a close friend.
Unless he had other intentions, there was no way the Prince of Twins would treat him like that.
Knowing that made him feel even more uncomfortable.
As if he knew what he was thinking, Cedric walked over to him and sat down on the sofa.
Then he even crossed his long legs on the table.
“What... now??”
“Now, let’s begin.”
Cedric raised both hands to support the back of his head and looked down at High Priest Diat with a drowsy face.
"Yes?"
“...No, I decided to listen to the words of God or something. Let’s live that dream to our heart’s content.”
High Priest Diat couldn't tell whether Cedric's words were sincere or joking.
His actions suddenly felt too light to be serious, and his attitude was too serious to be joking.
'Yeah, it's better than listening to it all the time with a bored expression on your face.'
But at that time, he couldn't bear to know.
A sermon that started with a light heart.
He didn't know that it would continue until dawn the next morning.
“I’ll do the rest next time. It's already 4 am...”
“No, if it cuts off in the middle, I’ll be too curious and won’t be able to sleep.”
"Haaa... Your Highness, please stop....”
“Continue, Diot.”
At that point, he didn't care at all that his name was called wrong again.
He didn't know if it was because he had taken a long break, but as he resumed his sermon, High Priest Diat's voice sounded as if he was holding back tears.
Looking at him like that, Cedric giggled like a mischievous child teasing a crying child.
“Diot, I can’t believe it... You’re not crying, are you?”
Perhaps the reason why Cedric was looking at him like that was to give him an idea that he had not yet finished exploring the bedroom.
'I guess I acted too shamelessly.'
Huh. High Priest Diat cleared his throat and looked at Cedric again.

“Diot, I can’t believe it... You’re not crying, are you?”
Just how can he find it fun listening to temple stories at mid night just to annoy him he really has great patience
