"M-my d-darling..."

Jerisson was drunk as a skunk, or at least a big guinea pig.

Lily could feel the emptiness in his head almost physically. She shook her head.

"Your Grace, you're hammered."

It didn't seem to work. Jerisson collapsed on the bed without even removing his boots.

Lily gave up and started pulling them off. What else could she do?

"Ssssh!" her dear husband hushed. "We'll wake Miranda up!"

The aforementioned Miranda had just peeked into the door between the rooms, saw that her father was all right, and was about to berate him, but Lily shook her head. Having understood her gesture, the girl took off.

Lily was going to do the scolding in the morning. It would work much better when the hangover kicked in. A hangover usually made life a living hell, anyway, so coupled with a reprimand from her, Jerisson was going to have a really bad time.

She had never seen him in such a state. What an idiot.

On the other hand, he had simply gotten drunk. He didn't smell of perfume, so he would survive their talk.

"Whom did you drink with?"

"I m-met a friend! V-scount s-something..."

"All right," Lily nodded. "And how did you get home?"

"A-a carriage driver."

"So where's your viscount?"

"At home."

"What did you toast to, at least?"

"Our meeting," Jerisson readily answered. "To Wellster, to Ativerna, to fair ladies..."

"The sixth bottle was one too many."

"A-and the rest?"

"Even more so." Lily was busily pulling off her husband's doublet. Thankfully, he didn't seem to be injured, and she knew a couple of tricks that allowed her to turn even a heavy frame and undress it with no consequences for her back.

"W-we drank a lot."

"I got it. Go sleep it off."

"Will you be with me?"

"Absolutely."

Jerisson reached out and pulled Lily up.

"Hey!"

“I love you!"

"Really?"

It was a stupid question, but so was the situation.

Jerisson didn't reply. He was already sleeping.

Lily thought that when wine was in, the truth was out and smiled, stretching next to her husband.

She wouldn't berate him in the morning. Let him live.
