My wife is trying to kill me

"So this is the Free Guild…" Lucas said and looked at Elmesia, who nodded her head in reply.

Lucas continued, "But, why are we here? Weren't we supposed to go to the Jura Forest?"

Elmesia knitted her brows and said, "do you think I won't keep my end of the deal?"

"Yes." Lucas said without hesitation.

Elmesia pouted hearing that. This hateful fellow! He didn't trust her even in the slightest! Even when she let him off and didn't kill him and acted all nice! What was up with him!?

Elmesia didn't bother to reply to Lucas and just kept the pout on her face.

Lucas looked at her and said, "stop acting as if you're a 16-year-old girl and answer me."

Crack!

Something cracked in Elmesia and that was her patience and her cool.

Lucas had just touched the spot where it hurt her the most.

Age was Elmesia's weakest spot and asking her that was something which one should never do. Doing so would only result in one thing:

Death!

Elmesia made a scary smile and looked at Lucas. She then said, "did you say something about me not being sixteen?"

Her question was less of a question and more of a threat to him, asking him to take back what he had just said or there would be consequences.

Lucas nodded his head and said, "yes. Stop acting like a 16-year-old girl is what I said."

CRACK!

The ground below Elmesia cracked as she charged towards Lucas and held his neck, about to strangle him at any moment's notice.

She lost all her cool this time.

Elmesia, with the same scary smile as before, asked Lucas politely, "did you say something?"

Lucas looked at her and smiled. He knew what he just did and also knew why she was having such a reaction. He also knew how to get out of this situation.

Lucas opened his mouth to say something to her and Elmesia had gripped his neck in such a way that she was ready to strangle him to death at any moment if he said anything wrong.

Lucas opened his mouth and…

"HELP! HELP! MY WIFE IS TRYING TO KILL ME! SOMEONE HELP!"

"Huh!? What!?" Elmesia was stupefied as she heard that.

What the hell was wrong with Lucas!? Why did he shout like that!?

But it was too late for her to do anything since a crowd was immediately formed around them and a group of adventurers came rushing towards them.

"Who's getting killed!? Where!?" A burly adventurer wearing light armour on his body and holding a hammer said while rushing towards Lucas and Elmesia.

"The Urman party is here! Don't worry! We'll rescue you!" A group of four short and slim adventurers wearing the same clothes and having the same hairstyle said while rushing towards Lucas and Elmesia.

"Hang on brother husband! I am coming to your rescue!" A man with a moustache holding a beer ran towards Lucas and Elmesia.

"Where the fuck are you going!? Pay the bill first!" A lady ran behind the man while holding a spatula in her hand.

Hearing all such responses, Lucas looked at Elmesia with a smirk.

He held her hands and put them away from his neck.

He hugged Elmesia and whispered softly in her ears, "don't do anything stupid now or you'll end up making a fool of yourself, Miss Empress of the Sorcerer's Dynasty Sarion, Elmesia El-Ru Sarion."

Elmesia was flustered as Lucas hugged her. Her mind turned blank and she felt super embarrassed. She couldn't think about anything right now and could only go with the flow.

So she did just that and hugged Lucas back.

Her face was as red as a tomato but thankfully, her original appearance was hidden since she was wearing the pendant and was in a disguise.

The people reached close to Lucas and started looking for who was the one that asked for help.

"Who wanted help? Where is the person?" The burly man in light armour asked.

"The Urman party is here! Who needs help!?" The four short and slim guys asked in unison.

"Ho! Ho! Ho! Which poor husband was getting killed by his wife?" The man with a moustache holding beer in his hand said.

"If you don't pay the bill, I'll definitely kill you!" The lady running behind said to the man holding beer.

The people looked at the one who had just yelled and soon found Lucas and Elmesia in the middle of a crowd, hugging each other.

The burly man in light armour got to the front of the crowd and asked Lucas, "were you the guy who just yelled?"

Lucas put a finger on his mouth and said, "shhh… my wife finally calmed down and is resting. Please don't shout."

The burly man put a finger on his mouth as well and said softly, "oh. ok, ok."

The four short guys arrived as well and so did the man with a beer and the lady asking him for the bill.

Lucas looked at them and said in an apologetic and soft tone, "I am sorry for causing trouble. My wife was really mad and was trying to kill me because I was hiding things from her."

The burly man knitted his brows and said in a whisper, "then you shouldn't have hidden things from her. why would you do that…"

Lucas smiled and said in a soft tone, "because I wanted to surprise her. She calmed down and is now resting because I finally gave her the surprise present. I am so sorry for the trouble."

"Ah…" the burly man said and made a happy smile.

The entire crowd had a smile as well on their faces as they listened to this.

So it was all a misunderstanding between couples, haha!

Everyone in the crowd thought of this and started dispersing, leaving Lucas and Elmesia alone.

The lady who previously ran behind the man holding beer walked close to him and locked her hand with his and said to him in a coquettish tone,

"Dear, look how good that couple is. You should–"

"I am not going to pay for eating at my own wife's restaurant." The man said and ran away.

The lady got angry again and shouted while running behind the man, "YOU DAMN RASCAL! I'LL KILL YOU!"

After everyone was gone, Lucas patted Elmesia's back and said with a smile,

"Everyone's gone, wifey. You can stop hugging me now."
