A stifling silence flowed. Whether it meant affirmation or denial, Chloe had not yet realized.
“Nonsense.”
When she finally opened her mouth, it was accompanied by a very disappointing response.
“……You say it doesn’t make sense?”
“Divorce. It’s something that can never happen. Pretend you didn’t hear that, Chloe.”
Repeated rejection drove her into despair. Precious emotions she had been carrying since yesterday began to crumble gradually.
“What on earth…….”
The king knows the situation he’s in. He denounced Callis and even comforted her who was left alone.
Despite promising to help her unconditionally, what Chloe really wanted was ignored.
“Why on earth……?”
The outright rejection from her father disappointed her.
Crash.
The shock made her body freeze. Gradually losing strength, she could only drop the cup she was holding.
The broken teacup turned into insignificant shards of glass. The tea that had been imported from a foreign land wet the grass, and the birthstone fell off and rolled over it.
“……He.”
The king must have misunderstood something.
Her father thinks so highly of her. He wouldn’t dismiss her so coldly.
“He said he loves another woman…….”
Chloe repeated the story she had uttered with exasperation just a moment ago.
“Yes.”
And Duke Bellion’s dry response followed.
Only then did Chloe grasp the situation.
No matter how many times, how many hundreds of times she repeated the same words, Duke Bellion’s reaction would be the same.
The king’s punishment for Chloe’s tragedy would not be divorce, but neglect.
“He finally brought his first love to me, saying he felt guilty toward me, toward the royal family!”
“Yes.”
“And, he slapped me in the face, humiliating me in front of everyone, just because I had an argument with a woman.”
The more she talked, the angrier she became at Duke Bellion, the more pitiful she felt.
“Then drive the maids out. But divorce is not allowed.”
“You’ll drive out the maids? Father, how much more ridiculous do you want to make me after that incident?”
“Make you ridiculous? Then how ridiculous must our royal family become just because you couldn’t win that child’s love?”
At Duke Bellion’s words, Chloe’s face turned pale. Upon reflecting on his words several times, she finally realized that the stone thrown by her father had pierced like a dagger.
“……Father, do you really think I’ve made the royal family ridiculous?”
Chloe’s chin trembled. She tried not to cry, but her vision was already blurred.
‘Even saying sorry to me was a lie.’
‘After ‘that incident,’ the king sent Chloe a long letter of apology.
In the letter, he justified that it was for the sake of the royal family, that it couldn’t be helped.
So, she understood. She even tried to survive in that snake pit.
‘How on earth…….’
The excessive kindness Duke Bellion had shown her the next day was not for his longing daughter.
He intended to put her back into that hellish place as soon as possible.
‘No.’
It couldn’t be this way. Even her last ally couldn’t turn her back on her.
Chloe staggered to her feet and entered the palace, leaving behind Duke Bellion, who was yelling. She saw Violet, who was having tea with her siblings. Violet quickly ran over when she saw Chloe, pale and distressed.
“Daughter. What’s wrong! What happened that made you cry so much?”
With tears streaming down her face, Chloe was embraced by Violet, who didn’t know what to do. Violet’s arms were as warm as yesterday, and the sisters who followed her were the same as the day before.
“He, he brought a woman.”
Chloe, who had been crying freely, gradually continued speaking. Each time, Violet’s hand, patting her back, became so supportive.
Yes. These people would be different.
They had to be.
“I want a divorce, and when I told my father…….”
But as she was about to continue speaking, the hand that was patting her back abruptly stopped.
Suddenly, Chloe’s face was expressionless. The gentle smile disappeared, and she was glaring at Chloe.
“A royal princess talking about divorce? You should be careful with your words, Chloe.”
A flat and dry tone.
“You dare to speak such words knowing what divorced women are perceived as? You could be branded a witch… How can you be so immature? A royal princess must endure that much!”
Next, her sisters followed, lurking around.
At first, they had shown a worried attitude, but now they were chiming in with angry voices.
“It’s not even illegal now. Many people are defying the government these days, so you’re not the only one suffering. Just endure it. You were a royal princess and now a divorce? You must avoid disgrace. Don’t bring shame to the family when you grow up.”
“I’m almost ready for marriage. If the value of Balront falls because of your divorce at such a critical time… No! I want to marry a good person.”
Ah.
Another trial awaited Chloe in the place she had fled to. There was nothing left for the runaway who defied fate but despair.
Chloe wanted to go home. But now there was no place left for her to return.
“Call… Call the carriage. Hurry.”

really disliked him
