Chloe elegantly brought her hands together and prayed.
As if understanding his hardship, Callis awkwardly stepped back.
As it was, he was already worried about the speech.
It was awkward for Callis to initiate a conversation with the Emperor, so he remained silent within the palace.
Would he tell the truth?
Clumsily grabbing onto the Emperor’s coattails, he jabbered, even mixing up the sentence structure.
He couldn’t say that in front of the Empire’s and Kingdom’s citizens, in front of eyes looking at him with awe.
“So, Duke, go prepare your speech. I will take my leave now.”
Seizing the moment when Callis hesitated, Chloe quickly vacated the spot.
Returning to her room, a tired Chloe sat at her desk.
‘His Majesty approved of the wedding.’
The confirmation of the wedding with Helena meant that Chloe’s divorce would go smoothly.
‘I really have to find it now.’
The part that Yuri and Lerianny were worried about came to mind.
Where Chloe would live after the divorce.
‘If the situation isn’t favorable, how about utilizing that cooperative ally again? Perhaps, to fill the void.’
Kun’s voice softly landed in her mind.
On the day of Helena’s birth celebration, the man who had come looking for Chloe was undoubtedly ‘friend’ Kun.
Even if he wore a mask, even if he said to use his power, his blue eyes claimed that he was Chloe’s friend.
It wasn’t just because the invitee was friend Kun. The man actually appeared in front of everyone with the authority of the conqueror.
If there was a reason why he played the role of friend Kun that only Chloe could recognize….
‘Kun has always come to help me.’
Friend Kun was always Chloe’s savior.
From the first meeting to now. Not only physically helping but also offering solutions like this time.
Or whenever she asked for help, miraculously timing it to come to her aid.
At the end, it was always Emperor Kun.
Always the same pattern. If the friend understood her situation, the Emperor found a solution and helped Chloe.
‘So then….’
Chloe, who had been pondering, opened the drawer. As she opened the second compartment, beautiful stationery was tightly packed.
Her hand hesitating for a moment reached the far left.
Choosing the expensive parchment, Chloe simultaneously took out ink and pen.
“To my friend.”
This was a letter sent to friend Kun.
“Are you well? Thank you for coming to the party. It was fun thanks to you.”
She could now write the opening greeting with her eyes closed.
“Do you remember what Kun said back then? The advice he gave me when I was lost after my divorce.”
That advice. Advice that was simultaneously understandable and elusive.
At first, Chloe couldn’t make sense of Kun’s words, which were to “fill the void.”
After pondering over it for a few days, Chloe realized it. The void that had appeared in her life due to her divorce.
Her spouse.
“Are you suggesting that I get involved with that supporter? In other words, create a pretext to be together.”
She wrapped up her last greeting more succinctly.
The carefully crafted but brief letter ended up on the side table next to Chloe’s bed.
If he could see everything, he would surely know that Chloe’s room had changed.
“As expected.”
The next morning, Chloe immediately checked the table as soon as she got up. Indeed, a dust-free clean table greeted her.
When she returned after dinner, a letter had already arrived from the other party.
“To my dear friend, Chloe.
I too have had a wonderful time thanks to you. Next time, I will be the one to invite Chloe.
I have nothing more detailed to say regarding what you asked. It’s just as you understood.”
It was confirmation that Chloe had understood him correctly.
She wasted no time and immediately wrote a reply.
“To always-thankful Kun,
But Kun, will that supporter really help me?
I am someone who has nothing left. There is absolutely no gain to be had from being involved with me in any way.”
The reply from the other party didn’t arrive the next day but the day after that.
“To a friend who I wish to bring happiness,
Of course.
A supporter is a supporter till the end. He will certainly help Chloe.
Don’t worry unnecessarily.
He will see the very fate that ties him to Chloe as a gain.”
