In the dining room, there was only the sobbing of a woman who had just defended her son's pride.
“Hiks. My xenon is a good boy. Please don't hate him like that. Hiks..”
“Don't hate my little Xenon, hiks...hiks.
Marie, the servant who tried to calm the master, cried.
“Axelia-sama..”.
Hearing that crying voice, Revon asked everyone to come out including Marie. Initially Marie did not want to leave the master alone, but who could defy the orders of the head of the family. He finally had to follow the orders.
Inside the room, there was only Revon and the second wife.
He walked over and approached his wife. He gently woke the woman to sit back on the chair and kneel down to wipe her tears.
“Already, don't cry”
“Hiks..I'm sorry I yelled at Vexia-sama, Revon-sama. But, I. I don't want my angel to continue to get such a designation”
“I understand. I also apologize to you” gently, Revon stroking Axelia's cheek. “Is your face okay?”
“......!!” Axelia's surprised. She looked at her husband's face and the crying finally stopped. Not stopping because she felt touched by the question, but the crying stopped because Axelia was shocked by the question.
Revon gently rubbed the beautiful woman's face and said, “It looks like it's okay”
“Revon-sama?”
Maybe this is not so important, but this beautiful moment is proof of Revon's previous remarks.
Gently, the head of the family kissed his wife's cheeks and eyes several times, showing that he loved her so much.
Cold expression and flat face invisible. This was how he treated Axelia when no one was around.
Romantic, that's the picture of the word that suits him.
“I promised to protect you. I promised Rexa before she went to the academy. Forgive me for making you cry all the time, Axelia” whispered
In Revon's embrace, Axelia could not say anything due to being too shocked. Who would have thought that the husband would say such a thing.
There was a bit of a past story in Revon van Houdsen's mind as he gently hugged the woman.
***
When Revon was 15 years old, he who spent his vacation home to unwind his education at the Magic School Academy met a new servant.
The meeting was not intentional because he saw the new maid had just swept through the courtyard.
“You're the new waitress huh?” young Revon asked the waiter
The new servant was a beautiful girl who was very calm but also very shy.
“I'm sorry, sir!” panicked
“Why apologize?”
“Umm..master should...see I'm working”.
“But it seems you know me. Have you heard of my return?”
“Iya”
“What's your name?”
“Axelia Anastasia”
“Axelia yes..”
Hearing his name being called by the master at that time was the greatest honor for the new servant so that a sweet smile was seen on his face.
- Deg
A beautiful smile that immediately stuck in the heart of the young heir.
All of that happened during Revon's two-month vacation.
Their closeness fosters feelings that an employer should not feel toward his servant. Love, that's the name of his feelings.
Revon fell in love with the beautiful maid because of her gentle, honest and very innocent nature. Axelia was also very caring and so graceful even though she was just an ordinary servant.
The young girl was so obedient and willing to listen to all the complaints of Revon, looking forward to all his stories and the smile melted the entire burden on his back.
In Revon's youth, there was a rule that required the noble family to marry another noble family announced on his 16th birthday.
Of course the tradition disappeared when his generation was born. But there are some who still use it, for example, Vexia who arranged the engagement of Rexa with Misha in a party.
When Revon's birthday happens exactly one week before he spends his entire school vacation, he must follow an adult game that matches him with another noble family.
Vexia Theresia Caracasa, the daughter of Earl Caracasa is the girl who is betrothed to him. When it was announced, Revon had actually established his love for Axelia secretly.
As soon as the announcement was widespread, the relationship of the two instantly deteriorated with Axelia who was trying to get away from Revon.
A day when there is a slight gap in the relationship between him and his heart must be faced.
“I.. shouldn't be so presumptuous to fall in love with Revon-sama. Revon-sama should be happy with Vexia-sama!” he said while crying
“I will never leave you! I just love Axelia!”
“But I'm just a waiter and..hiks..and Revon-sama should be happy with the woman you love”.
Hearing that, Revon hugged the beautiful girl before him gently.
“I just love you. Till whenever I will love you”
“I will prove that whatever happens, I will take you to be a part of me and van Houdsen”
Revon who returned to the academy after his one-sided engagement was trying hard to get the recognition of many people and from the side of his extended family.
At the age of 23, Revon was forced to marry Vexia because of his father who died of a heart attack.
Revon took over the van Houdsen family at the age of 23 and after officially becoming the husband of Vexia and the new head of the family, he did not forget his goal.
Take Axelia to be part of the whole van Houdsen.
Revon introduces the girl to her mother and Vexia bravely on her mother's birthday.
It was clearly inviting a lot of scorn and contempt for the family of the hero that one. Even the Caracasa family, which was the wife's extended family, demanded a lot of compensation and van Houdsen's territory because of this shame.
Vexia, who was pregnant at the time, could not think how her husband could be so stupid even though she did not know that the husband's first love was the servant who was introduced to her after they married.
Because of the many quarrels and Revon himself refuses to break his love affair with Axelia, all face bad things. That could be called the start of van Houdsen's slump.
They even managed to steal the attention of the king, Lucario.
Even more horrendous is the sake of being able to marry Axelia, Revon said that she had impregnated the girl not long after her marriage to Vexia.
Of course it was a lie, Revon never touched Axelia because she loved her so much. Touching her before marriage was the most despicable deed for such a dedicated noble.
But the lie was like fireworks and caused the issue of cracking all aspects. His marriage, family business and even the king's trust were at stake.
In the end, it took quite a while until Revon was finally able to legally marry Axelia. It happened when Rexa was born into the world.
Bad issues still hit, but there is an agreement in Revon's second marriage that let Vexia do ‘all things’.
The meaning of ‘all things’ that includes leading van Houdsen's business, asking for compensation for his family's property, Caracasa in exchange for permission to carry out marriage with Axelia.
That's why, after their marriage, Revon's bad image is attached to this day and Axelia must feel the same pain.
“The nobleman who impregnated waiter” and “The flirtatious servant of household destroyer Marquis van Houdsen” is a nickname for each of them.
Axelia might have thought of it as a punishment for him but it was different from Revon. He considers it a reasonable payment because he can be with his loved ones.
