THE SECRET (The Power Of Love Conquers All)
CHAPTRE 5

Ainsley Callista wanted to quickly get out of the dark room, so she could immediately hug her husband and tell him how happy she was right now.

Ainsley Callista wants to explain how lucky he is to be able to marry Ramsey. The man looked very admirable as he stood inside the room just now, and again he was there to defend his interests.

Of course Ainsley Callista never doubted that her husband would do something like this. But she still wanted to give a lot of praise to Ramsey, because she felt very confident that her husband would need a compliment from the wife, like other husbands.

Ainsley Callista almost reached the exit when he heard the Marquess mention Maitland's name. He stopped to listen to what was being said. but Ramsey tried to pull Ainsley Callista's body so deliberately Ainsley Callista had to leave one of his shoes and tell Ramsey through a gesture to pick up the shoes. He doesn't care about being reckless by Ramsey. He was too curious, wanting to listen to what the councils were discussing until the Marquess sounded furious.

None of the Council paid any attention to the whereabouts of Ainsley Callista. They are too busy with the issues that are being discussed.

"I am against any alliance with the Kingdom of Andorra. We don't need them" Duke Duncan spoke in a high tone.

Next, the Viscount spoke. "Why should the kingdom of Andorra? They're salmon slippery and Northumbrian slick. I can't accept that proposal. I can't."

Ailean tried hard to endure her patience. "I will remind you that the land of the Kingdom of Andorra lies between the resistance of Maitland and us. If we don't merge with them, they could just turn to the Maitland bastards for protection. We can't let that happen. It's a choice between bad and worse."

Ainsley Callista did not manage to hear the continuation of that discussion again. Ramsey put on her shoes first and pushed her body out of the room.

Ainsley Callista forgot all her plans to praise her husband.As soon as the door closed behind her, she turned to face Ramsey. "Why does our Kingdom hate the Maitland Clan?"

"The riots have been going on for a long time" Ramsey replied "Before our Clan became an Imperial state."

"Can't it be fixed?"

Ramsey shrugged. "Why are you interested in the Maitland Clan?" Ask Ramsey later.

Of course Ainsley Callista couldn't tell her husband. She would break her promise to Jacelyn if she did, and she would never betray her friend's trust.

there is also the fact that Ramsey could have had a heart attack if the man found out that Jacelyn's father was Maitland's Landlord. Yeah, he should think about it, too.

"I know that our Kingdom is hostile to the Kingdom of Andorra, as well as the Maclean Clan. But, I never heard of the Maitland Clan. That's why I'm curious. Why can't we get along with other clans or kingdoms?"

Hearing Ainsley Callista's words made Ramsey laugh. "There are some clans and also kingdoms that we consider to be friends" he told.

Ainsley Callista decided not to talk about the Maitland Clan anymore. She changed the subject of her planned praise of her husband who had been delayed earlier. Ramsey accompanied her back to their home, and after a long kiss as a sign of separation, because her husband had to return to the Kingdom.

"Ramsey, you realize, don't you? if I'm so loyal to you" asked Ainsley Callista.

Hearing his wife's question, Ramsey immediately turned his body and replied. "Of course."

"I always think about your feelings, don't I?"

"true."

"Because of that, if I find out something that might make you feel really upset, it would be best if I didn't tell you about it, right?"

"No." batah Ramsey.

"If I tell it, it means I broke a promise to someone. I can't do that."

Ramsey walked back and stood right before his wife. "What didn't you tell me?"

Ainsley Callista shook his head. "I don't want Ailean to force Jacelyn" he said, hoping to shift the conversation over the old appointment. "If Jacelyn can't come here, Ailean can't force her."

As soon as Ailean came out, her sister called out to her. "We should talk, Ailean."

"Fuck, Ramsey, if you want to tell me about another promise you made to your wife, then I'll warn you right now, I'm not in a good mood to listen to her."

Ramsey laughed at her brother's complaint. He waited until he was around, then said, "I want to talk about my wife's friend. I don't care what the stakes are, Ailean. Drag him here if you have to. Okay well? I don't want my wife to be disappointed. She's been pretty worried about the birth of our baby."

Ailean began to move towards the stables. His hands were hooked behind his back, and his head was down thinking about what his sister said just now.

Ramsey caught up with Ailean, then walked beside her.

"You realize, if I force this woman, I might start a war with her family. And maybe, if their king decides to interfere, we can also start a war with the Northumbrian Kingdom?"

Ramsey jacked up to see her brother, whether his brother was really thinking about the impossible possibility. Ailean was smiling. That made Ramsey shake his head. "John wouldn't involve himself in this matter unless he could benefit from it. The woman's family can be a problem. They obviously wouldn't let him go on this kind of journey."

"Everything can be messed up" Ailean said.

"Is that a problem for you?" ask Ramsey.

"No."

Ramsey breathed. "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow, as soon as the sun rises. I'll talk to Ainsley Callista tonight. I want to know as much as I can about this woman's family."

"There's something Ainsley Callista didn't tell me" Ramsey said, his voice hanging. "He asked about our enmity with the Maitland Clan..."

Ramsey did not continue his words. Ailean saw that the younger brother had lost his mind. "And you didn't demand your wife to explain what she kept secret from you?"

"It's not that easy" Ramsey said. "You must be gentle to a wife. He'll tell you what he's worried about in time. I have to be patient. Anyway, maybe that's just my conclusion. Because my wife is worried about everything right now."

Ailean's face made Ramsey regret to have told her all about Ainsley Callista's strange behavior.

"I meant to thank you for leaving to do this job, but you'll definitely feel humiliated."

"This is my duty" Ailean admitted. "It takes seven to eight days to reach the border. It marked an eight-day journey with a complaining woman in my hands. Damn, I would rather face one legion of the Maitland Clan alone than suffer in this task."

Ailean's gloomy tone, made Ramsey want to laugh. But of course he did not dare to do it, because his brother would immediately make his face bleed even though he only gave a smile in response to his complaint earlier.

The brothers walked together in silence for a few minutes. Each of them is busy in their own thinking.

Ramsey stopped, however. "You can't force this woman. If he doesn't want to come here, then let it go."

"In that case, why should I bother going there?"

"My wife may be right" Ramsey said. "Ledy Jacelyn Elizabeth will probably come of her own accord."

Ailean looked sharply at her sister. "Will of his own will? You'd be crazy if you believed that. That woman is Northumbrian." Ailean paused for a moment to sigh. "He will not come of his own accord."
