Chapter 106: A Parade for Her
Ezran''s POV:
"Sir, About the Soiree the Huntingtons.."
"Decline."
"The Lady Nevi''s Ball tomorrow?"
"Decline."
"I see. Shall I decline the...100 other invitations that came in?" Milford showed two boys carrying heavy
boxes filled to the brim with every kind of letter.
I looked at the boxes with contempt before looking at my head butler.
"These are the ones who only invited me, Is it?"
"Oh yes sir." he nodded, a sliver of distaste in his face. "Shall I burn them?"
"To a crisp." I nodded as he ushered the younger boys out.
Mere days after we arrived. these stupid rumors started cropping up about my wife. When I first heard
them; I fumed and nearly ran a gentleman through with my sword when he was whispering about it to
his friends when the Prince and I visited our favorite gentleman''s club.
My wife''s tales of dedication were twisted about till it made her look like a heartless bitch. I have a
sneaking suspicion who did it and who had strong connections to make it circte this fast and this
bad.
Lady Lorax and the First Princess Miranda.
Both women who have just cause and the motivation to cken my duchess'' name. Both of them were
rejected by me and a noble woman''s pride is always high.
Normally, they would not have the guts to try offending me so why are they being so brave when it
came to my wife?
"Sir, Mr. Pierce is here to see you." Milford opened the door to announce my secretary.
As he gave me the reports, I studied him closely. For a serious man; he was known to be gentle and
sweet to his wife. Everyone knows that...
Wait...everyone?
"Pierce. Answer my questions."
He looked surprised but he nodded.
"How did everyone know that you love your wife?"
"Every time we attend a local gathering or party. I always pay attention to my wife, I seem to soften up
when I am with her. Everyone who has witnessed our interaction says so. We attend social events
every week so that must be why everyone knows how I feel about her." Pierce exined to me.
I looked back at the times I went to social events with my wife ever since we got married and nched.
Aside from that one time I met her in town and that party we went to just so that I could end things with
Margaret...
I have never taken my wife to social events. She has attended parties and soirees in thest few
months all alone while I was at war.
My mistake was that I did not even think to attend any events with her the moment we came back
home.
This made everyone believe that I am not fond of her and without any evidence of my backing as her
spouse, This made those vicious harpies think that they can attack my wife and gossips does travel so
fast in this city.
That would make me a neglectful husband. Putting work ahead of her when I promised her that I would
try to be better. Gods, I am really messing this up.
"Thank you, Pierce. Please do me a favor and make a list. I want to organize something for my wife. "
"An event in her honor? She deserves it after all the dedication she did for your army, sir." my secretary
seems to like the idea as he jotted down something on his notes.
I winced. Seems like even themon folks know about the nasty rumors.
As a gentleman, I cannot engage and call out Margaret and the First Princess for their lies. There are
social rules in ce that protect the honor of thedies and princesses.
So that leaves me with one choice.
I spoke at length with Pierce about my n and he left to carry out necessary orders

Days Later.....
"Ezran! We need to talk!" My wife came inside our bedroom just as Hughes was helping me disrobe out
of my borate pce clothes. " Oh! I''lle backter.."
"Hughes, you may go. My wife will help me off my clothes."
he smiled and bowed before leaving both of us. My wife turned her back as I walked towards her.
"Ezran. Please put on some clothes."
" But I never needed clothes since we almost always sleep nude and..we do other things nude." I
teased her as I hugged her from behind, she yelped and iled as I carried her to the bed. "So help
undress me, wife."
She blushed when her eyesnded on my naked chest and went even lower. Her shy heated gaze
stirred my loins as I pushed her down and captured her lips which startled my wife.

"M-Milor-"
I covered her mouthpletely and she melted against me before stiffening and pushing me away. I
"What is this about a parade?" she gasped out as I nuzzled her neck and sucked on her throat. "
Husband! St-Stop..."
"It is for you. I organized it all for you. " I licked the red hickey I made before looking her in the eye. "
ina. Please let me do this. Everyone deserves to know the truth of your deeds in Guthrie. Let me
show them how I cherish you...please."
Her eyes widened inprehension and she wavered before her dainty hands pulled off the sash on
my waist and slid off my outer coat, she made quick work of my pants and boots before long I was
helping her slip off her evening gown.
"Husband. You are spending way too much for me. Those rumors...I have a n to shut the ones
responsible...." she looked worried as she leaned against my hand when I stroked her cheek.
"Thenmence with it but this parade will be my way of showing them exactly how I stand with you."
".....Alright." her eyes grew moist with unshed tears as she smiled at me warmly. "Thank you for this but
next time...No parades."
"As you wish, my love."
"Can we stop by Princess Anneal''s party after the parade? I want to stage the final blow to Lady Lorax
and the First Princess there."
My hands stroke the lines of her body and settled on her plump breasts, her nipples hardened after just
rubbing them gently. She arched and moaned when I sucked them both. they tasted so delicious as I
popped them out of my mouth.
"Of course, I shall escort you as long as you fill me in on your n?"
"Only...if you tell me yours."
We both smile and discussed what we n to do to dispel the nasty rumors and she even helped me
make the parade ns more intimate and personal by telling me her favorite flowers and colors.
As we talked more while preparing for bed, I found out more about my wife''s likes and dislikes and she
also found out more about my preferences. Like my favorite pastime and what outfit I prefer to wear
even to the brand of cufflinks I favor.
"Husband. I just wanted you to know that showing interest in me every day would have been enough
for me but just this once, I will allow the whole city to know how much you love me. Thank you..."
"Noted, dear wife. Now..let me make love to you."
The night ended with me taking my time showing ina how much she means to me as she pulled me
close and opened herself to me.
It made me think...
that I should have done this sooner before the situation got worse.
