Honey, Why Can’t We Get a Divorce?

“I was like this before?” 

 

It’s true. 

 

I’d been able to use this much power since the first time I used black magic when I was angry at Fleur.
So I thought it’s not a lie.

 

Sylvester glanced at me as if to scan me.
Then he sighed and let go of his hand. 

 

“Didn’t you run out of energy?”

 

“I’m okay.”

 

“Are you okay now?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Sylvester seems to have calmed down a little at my obedient answer.
He rubbed his forehead and got up. 

 

“There will be more people looking for you in the future.
When a request comes in, hand it over properly.
If there’s something good, discuss it with me.” 

 

Hmm. 

 

Isn’t this too much jump? 

 

It’s too much to think that people will come to me just because I used a little black magic. 

 

“Hey, it’s just one side of the article, don’t you think it’s too heavy?” 

 

“Is it just one side of the article?”

 

Sylvester glanced as he buttoned his shirt. 

 

“Well, can you see all the letters?”

 

The place he was pointing to was on the desk.
There were a lot of letters piled up there.

 

No way—.

 

“It’s all in front of you.
It’s trying to get to know you somehow.”

 

“Oh my.”

 

I covered my mouth with both hands.

 

“Should I be happy or should I be confused?” 

 

“Make a happy but confused expression.” 

 

“It’s a bit of a difficult order.” 

 

Sylvester burst into laughter.
He put his hand on the top of my head and messed up my hair. 

 

“It is true that you are in a confusing situation.
People will now approach you based on your abilities.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Well.
Would it be better than not approaching at all?”

 

“—I don’t know.
Not yet.”

 

Sylvester glanced at me.
It seemed like he was trying to guess how I was feeling.
He touched my cheek. 

 

“But you did a good job.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“If you are the hostess of the Duke of Ryzen, you should be famous like this.” 

 

That jerk’s hostess of the Duke of Ryzen.
It’s a word that comes up all the time, but strangely, I feel a little better now.
Was it because of the newspaper article that only had a compliment about me written on it?

 

Whatever it was, I was a little reminiscent.

 

Of course, it’s never because Sylvester stroked her hair.
Never.

 

“By the way, there’s a hunting contest next week.
I hope you can attend then.” 

 

Sylvester nodded his head while wearing a tie. 

 

“I told you, right?”

 

Sylvester, wearing a jacket, straightened his waist, shaking off his clothes. 

 

“I’ll show you how great I am.” 

 

The morning sun came in brightly again. 

 

At the moment, it was so bright that I couldn’t look at him completely. 

 

It’s really because of the sunlight. 

 

It’s not because I’m shy. 

 

******

 

After washing roughly, changing clothes, and eating breakfast, a guest came. 

 

It was Jasmine. 

 

“Madam! I’m here!” 

 

Now Jasmine comes to me without a message.
It seems that she thought that she was getting closer to what happened yesterday.
I was happy to accept her because I didn’t have much in mind either. 

 

“Sit down, I was about to drink tea.” 

 

“Can we drink tea later? I’ve come with good news, so I guess we’ll have to go out now.” 

 

“Good news?”

 

I titled my head. 

 

“Yes.
I got a letter from Countess Cardel.
Let’s make a handkerchief for the upcoming hunting contest! As much as we can.”

 

As much as?

 

“She was thinking it would be nice if I came with Madam, don’t you think so?”

 

Oh my. 

 

It’s a major development. 

 

I was surprised and opened my eyes wide.
However, I didn’t want to reveal my surprise openly, so I tried hard to tidy up my face by coughing. 

 

“Why didn’t she send me a letter?”

 

“I guess she’s still scared of Madam.”

 

“You really say that casually.”

 

“Because it’s true that everyone is afraid of Madam.
And isn’t that better?” 

 

Jasmine added something. 

 

“Rather than look down on you.” 

 

Her eyes looking at me were sparkling.
Those eyes that want to be like me.
I knew very well what to say to a child like that.

 

“If you’re by my side, you’ll be admired by people,” I said, stroking Jasmine’s cheek once. 

 

Jasmine’s face slightly turned red. 

 

“I’m hoping for that, too.” 

 

“You’re always the same.” 

 

She is a child who is consistently faithful to desire.

 

So I liked Jasmine. 

 

If there’s anything you can get from me, you’ll be next to me as much as you want.
There was so much I could give Jasmine.
So I was able to handle Jasmine well.

 

“Then shall we go?”

 

I reached out to Jasmine and said. 

 

“I should decorate you to the fullest this time too.” 

 

A smile spread to Jasmine’s face, and I decided that her loyalty had gone up one more time.
