Eric thought that Rosé’s words were just a simple obstinacy.

Doana was having his child, so in a fit of anger, she said that.

“I’ll have a maid come and take my luggage.”

“Hold on.”

Eric, who was about to leave the room, stopped Rosé. Doana, who had been in his arms, twitched nervously.

‘Why is he stopping Rosé? He’s not going to… back out of the divorce, is he?’

Doana, who had been quite elated that everything was going according to plan, felt a tension at Eric’s voice.

However, her worry was very unnecessary.

“You have to stamp the divorce papers before you go. Did you think I wouldn’t know if you sneak away intending to grab my ankles?”

Rosé slowly turned around at Eric’s words.

She looked straight into Eric’s eyes and replied calmly.

“I’m glad to hear that. I don’t want to be involved with ‘you’ anymore.”

At the word ‘you’, Eric twisted in disbelief.

“I’ll see how far that proud selfesteem of yours goes.”

“Oh, why would you keep watching me after the divorce? I wish you wouldn’t care about me.”

He chuckled at Rosé’s audacious attitude.

“Sure, keep scratching at my nerves. It won’t do you any good. If you want to get a penny more alimony, it’s best to keep looking good to me until the end.”

Now that there’s nothing left to threaten, are you threatening with money? Rosé sighed at his petty attitude.

‘I’m really glad I teamed up with Duke Artem. If not, I might have had to make words I don’t mean to get alimony from this damn guy.’

“It’s okay. I don’t need alimony. I have a lot of money too.”

Of course, she hadn’t received it yet, but she was about to.

Rosé spoke boldly, standing tall. Then she left her room with that as her last word.

A smile filled her face as she left the room.

It was exhilarating.

The woman who had been crying about her husband being taken away was gone.

Rosé stamped the divorce papers prepared by Eric. The servants didn’t know what to do as they watched Rosé saying her last goodbyes.

There were quite a few servants who tearfully clung to her hand. In their eyes, Rosé must have seemed undeniably chased away.

Rosé greeted them with the brightest expression possible, then looked around.

‘Where did Suren and Jane go……’

She wanted to say her last goodbye, but she couldn’t find them. Rosé, who wanted to leave this mansion as soon as possible, left a short note for each of them.

In a way, it seemed better to leave without seeing them. It would hurt to see Jane chasing after her in tears.

Margaret gave a note, requesting it be delivered to both parties as she left the mansion.

“It’s a perfect weather for a divorce.”

As Rosé stepped out of the mansion, she bathed her body in the warm sunlight, muttering to herself.

Eric did not give a single penny to the departing Rosé, not even providing a carriage.

Whether Rosé felt contemptible or whatever.

As a noble, she might have felt embarrassed if such a thing happened, but Rosé from Korea did not.

She enjoyed jogging. Especially on a day like today, when the weather is nice.

The bustling downtown was very close to the Earl’s residence. If she walked a little, she would probably be able to afford the carriage by selling the jewels in the dress.

“Uhm, I feel a bit dizzy……”

Since yesterday, she had been feeling chilly, which made her steps quite heavy.

Rosé carefully took one step after another. She felt like heat was coming from her head, but this was a level she could handle.

Even when she was sick, she went to school. Having grown up under parents who said that, she had been awarded for perfect attendance throughout her school days.

So, this time, too, she would get over it as she did back then.

Yes, let’s try a little harder.

First, she should sell the jewels and buy medicine with the money.

“……The ground here is quite bumpy.”

Rosé, struggling to keep her staggering body upright, mumbled aimlessly.

Rosé hadn’t walked far, but her forehead was full of sweat droplets. With a pale expression, Rosé looked around.

It was a bustling downtown before she knew it.

“Where…… is the jewel shop?”

In front of Rosé, who was looking around, a familiar person appeared.

“Huh……?”

He was wearing a robe, but he was clearly visible. With brilliant platinum hair and blue eyes like sapphires.

It was undoubtedly Duke Pieren.

Rosé rubbed her cloudy eyes and waved at the Duke.

Why did the Duke Pieren, who usually felt scary, seem so welcome today?

Seeing Rosé waving her hand at him, the Duke approached her.

‘Duchess Wens? Walking alone without a guard.’

Rosé, seeing the person approaching her, mumbled to herself.

“Sure enough, it was Duke Pieren.”

The Duke, who had approached before she knew it, was gazing at Rosé with curiosity.

“You seem to be in a good mood.”

He asked Rosé, probing why she was alone.

Rosé, as if she had been waiting, responded to his words.

“I just got divorced.”

Rosé, with a very exhilarated expression, revealed her white teeth and laughed. However, with that word as her last, she passed out.

Her sagging body collapsed forward. The Duke caught Rosé’s body as it fell powerlessly.

“……Duchess Wens?”

He looked at Rosé, who was sagging in his arms, with shaking eyes.
