Honey, Why Can’t We Get a Divorce?

p>My hair fell out of his hand.
I was frightened by the sudden cold atmosphere.
My heart thumped.
Whoo, whoo, I took a deep breath.
It’s coming out like this.
I squinted my eyes.

 

“When did you say I have to seduce the Crown Prince by all means?” 

 

“Did I?”

 

“You said something similar.” 

 

“So you’re gonna betray me?”

 

I laughed.
“I won’t kill you.”

 

“Hahaha.” Sylvester burst out laughing.
It was the first time he laughed this hard.
So I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
I mean, why are you laughing like that when I didn’t even make a joke—? I’m embarrassed.
Sylvester, who had been laughing for so long, nodded and reached for me again. 

 

“Try it somewhere.”

 

And he held my hand.
I could feel his cold temperature.

 

“On the condition that you don’t kill me.” 

 

As he spoke, he continued to laugh, which made me a little offended.  Are you really going to die at my hands in the original? Am I really a great person? 

 

As I couldn’t even speak, I just kept my mouth shut.

 

*****

 

We arrived at the Grand Duke.
I took off my shawl and got off the carriage.
I’m glad I didn’t wear a thick dress.
The Grand Duke is located beyond the western border, which is much warmer than the North, where the Duke of Ryzen is located.

 

I heard there’s an ocean, too—. Can I see it? 

 

Maybe I can’t see it because I can’t get out of the mansion.
Unfortunately, I had to promise another chance.
Yeah, next time.
I’m looking for another chance to visit the Grand Duke.
Because I’m close to the Grand Duke. 

 

“Irene, did you take care of it?”

 

So I double-checked with Irene.
Irene, who was following me, nodded. 

 

“Yes! Don’t worry!” 

 

“That’s good.”

 

Seeing the box in Irene’s arms, I turned my head again in satisfaction.
Sylvester, standing next to her, turned his head slightly and looked at Irene.

 

“What’s that?” 

 

I knew you’d ask. 

 

So I answered casually. 

 

“I’ll give it to Your Highness Grand Duke.
It’s precious.” 

 

Sylvester narrowed his brows slightly. 

 

“If it’s me, I wouldn’t take what you gave me.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Didn’t you trick them into saying they were sweet cookies and feed them with salt? Have you already forgotten how much pain a human being has had with salty salt?” 

 

“….”

 

Ophelia, you—.

 

Just telling the Grand Duchess that she looks like a grain of rice that even mice won’t eat wasn’t enough, did you even play a prank on the Grand Duke?

 

What a bad person she is—.
But that’s who I am now.
As soon as I saw the Grand Duke, I decided to apologize.

 

“I was a prankster.
I will apologize today.”

 

“Prankster?”

 

Sylvester smirked. 

 

“They almost have you executed, but I don’t think you remember the mess.” 

 

“—What?”

 

I blinked my eyes.
Did that happen? So you’re going into a house that almost killed me with an invitation you stole.
There’s really no answer, myself.
I got dark and swept my face down with my hands. 

 

“If I hadn’t stopped you, you’d be dead.
You need to know my hard work.”

 

“Do you have to take credit like this?”

 

“Of course.”

 

“Yes, yes, thank you.
I’m so grateful that I don’t know what to do.”

 

“That’s all you need to know.”

 

Before, Sylvester never noticed me being sarcastic.
How are you going to live in this harsh world like this? I wanted to say that, but it seemed like a Sylvester-like person would be okay without any notice. 

 

Destroy the power society—.

 

I murmured and glanced at him. 

 

“But the Grand Duke will receive this item.
It’s really precious.”

 

I winked and walked a little ahead.
I could hear Sylvester muttering ‘Crazy’ from behind. 

 

Who is the crazy person who says I’m crazy?

 

Hmm. 

 

I snorted ahead and gave an invitation to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper, who looked at the invitation, looked at my face with breath in his mouth.
Why? What? What do you want me to do? 

 

“The invitation is addressed to Countess Cardel.” 

 

I knew it would come out like this.
So I looked up at the gatekeeper with a fierce look on my face.

 

“So?”

 

“That’s, I don’t think Madam is Countess Cardel—”

 

“The Countess said she wasn’t feeling well, so I came instead.
Can’t I?”

 

“No! You can!”

 

The gatekeeper shook his hands in fright.
It looked like he was very scared.
Oh, my face is the best. 

 

“You know who I am, don’t you?” 

 

“Yes! Isn’t it Duchess Ophelia Ryzen!”

 

“Then tell them.” 

 

I raised my chin arm in arm to Sylvester, who followed. 

 

“We’re here.”

 

Hiik! The gatekeeper looked at Sylvester and rolled his shoulders, frightened again.
Sylvester didn’t do anything.
The conscious gatekeeper pushed the door and shouted loudly. 

 

“The Duke and Duchess Ryzen is entering!” 

 

The heavy door slowly began to open. 

 

Bright light poured out. 

 

And the stinging eyes of the people caught my eye.
