It was around that time that Emperor Leticz personally approached the Twins family, who had lost their status in the human realm after the ancient times and lived solely as demon realm royalty.
Emperor Leticz, through persistent persuasion of Patriarch Cedric, eventually unified the Western Continent with the help of the half-demon nobles.
For him, Cedric was a valuable person worth any sacrifice.
“Of course, I can do anything for you, but…”
As Emperor Leticz read through the documents with his gold-rimmed monocle, his brow slightly furrowed.
“…your first request being a secret divorce. This is really something.”
Thud.
The emperor lightly tossed the document he was reading onto the table.
Duke Cedric, Chancellor Diat, and Emperor Leticz.
They were gathered in the Imperial Court today because of Cedric’s ‘special’ divorce request.
Cedric’s request was to finalize the divorce with the approval of the Imperial Court and the Vatican, but to postpone the administrative procedures for six months, keeping the divorce confidential during that time.
It was an exceptional request, but the emperor agreed to grant it, having persuaded the Pope.
Thus, even before the divorce papers were signed, Emperor Leticz was ready to give his and the Vatican’s approval stamp.
A decision befitting the unconventional Emperor Leticz.
“Sure, I’ll grant it, but… are you sure the Grand Duchess agreed?”
Although Emperor Leticz always trusted Cedric’s words, he repeatedly asked about this matter.
“I can help with a secret divorce, but as you know, a divorce without the other party’s consent is not permissible.”
After a moment of silence, Cedric nodded, and Emperor Leticz’s eyes widened.
“The Grand Duchess is known to love you to the point of suffocation. It’s common knowledge among the nobility…”
“…”
“Is the Grand Duchess really agreeing to divorce you?”
Chancellor Diat’s curious gaze also turned towards Cedric.
It was indeed an event that could pique the interest of even the usually stoic Chancellor Diat.
For the parties involved, it was still unbelievable.
“…She said she would.”
As Cedric spoke in his characteristic deep voice, Emperor Leticz pushed up his monocle and tilted his head in puzzlement.
“It’s really strange… why has the Grand Duchess’s heart changed so suddenly?”
Cedric was just as curious about Rebecca’s true intentions.
That fateful night, Rebecca was desperately clinging to him, crying and pleading.
But when things didn’t go her way, she declared divorce, slapped him for the first time, and then started rambling like a madwoman.
And after that…
Everything changed.
‘I no longer love you.’
Cedric’s brow furrowed lightly as he recalled her red lips uttering those words.
‘…Love.’
He had never felt Rebecca’s actions as love.
Perhaps it was just a pretense to hide her dark intentions.
Yes, he had always thought so, but…
“Ah… I get it, that’s it.”
The sudden voice of Emperor Leticz broke Cedric’s reverie.
Cedric looked up at the emperor, who leaned slightly towards him with his arms crossed, nodding.
“You know, they say that when you’ve loved someone deeply, once that love fades, it’s irreversible.”
“…….”
“The Grand Duchess loved you so much, now she must have no regrets left! Ha ha! How about that? I think I got it right?”
Emperor Leticz burst into cheerful laughter, as if he had figured out the answer to a scientific problem.
Chancellor Diat closed his eyes with a gloomy expression, clearly thinking that Emperor Leticz, who had poured all his talent into scientific and technological realms, had completely lost his empathetic abilities.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t laugh so lightheartedly upon seeing Cedric’s expression darken at the mention of the Grand Duchess’s fading love.
“Well, it’s for the best! You were tormented by the Grand Duchess’s obsession. Since she’s broken off on her own, there’s no worry about her clinging to you even after the divorce!”
Emperor Leticz, satisfied with his conclusion, quickly picked up the seal.
“Chancellor Diat, you brought the Vatican’s seal as instructed, right?”
“Yes? Yes… as you said, I brought it.”
“Stamp it here first.”
Just as Chancellor Diat was about to stamp the Vatican’s approval on the indicated spot, he gave Cedric a warning look.
“It’s six months as promised. After that, not only the administrative procedures but also the relocation of the former Grand Duchess must be ensured.”
The Pope initially opposed this secret divorce because he deemed it inappropriate for a divorced couple to live together.
Cedric nodded silently in agreement.
“……I will do so.”
Thud.
Finally, the Vatican’s seal was stamped on the divorce papers of the Duke and Duchess of Twins.
At that moment, Cedric was engulfed in an indescribable mix of emotions.
‘Is it finally… over?’
He couldn’t determine whether the feeling was relief or regret.
Bang!
The second approval stamp landed emphatically on the document.
A bewildered Cedric looked up to see Emperor Leticz, who handed over the papers with a triumphant smile.
Chancellor Diat closed his eyes again in resignation.
However, to Emperor Leticz, it was a moment of pride, having prepared a gift his friend desired.
“There! Now, with the Grand Duchess’s signature, your marriage will be perfectly concluded!”
