At the faint call, she lifted her gaze that was touching the tip of her fingers.
“Yes. Please go ahead.”
She gently applied strength to her straightened waist.
“I’ve been thinking about the story you told me.”
The polite man spat out words with a polite voice.
“What story do you mean?”
“About the divorce that you wanted.”
Ah… Lamein slowly closed her slightly opened lips.
Keep looking. Keep looking with those eyes.
“As Duke Calypso said, bad rumors about us are circulating among the nobles.”
“……”
“Judging from the fact that the story has even reached me, it seems that the rumor has spread more widely than I thought.”
The words that it was news to him must have been a lie.
“So?”
“Just ignore the rumors that others casually chatter about. If we just consider our relationship, it’s not difficult to just divorce.”
The man who spat out a neat voice slightly lifted his lips.
“But as I said, it’s not a simple decision because it’s a bond formed by the king’s order.”
“……”
“As you can see from the fact that Duke Heter Calypso rushed in at once, this marriage is not just our problem.”
His words were correct.
She realized through Heter that it was not the time to casually talk about divorce due to the impulse to not live in sorrow.
“Also, it’s not yet, to get what I want.”
Cedric’s eyes held a deep light.
A man with a serious expression he had never shown before.
Lamein slightly narrowed her eyes and focused on the man in front of her.
“Cedric. What do you want to get?”
“Hmm……”
The man who took a deep breath straightened his comfortably leaning torso.
The man who swallowed time as if taking a break slowly opened his mouth.
“Originally, under the condition of marrying you, my father promised to pass on the title to me.”
Not only was it a story that was not in the original, even if Lamein knew it, there was no way for her now to know the story.
“Of course, it’s a story that only my father and I know. It’s a story that my brother and mother don’t know.”
A glance warning him to be careful with his words flew.
“But as you can see from the fact that rumors have reached other nobles. My father is also worried about our relationship.”
“……”
“The moment this marriage ends, even if my father changes his mind, I have nothing to say.”
That must never happen.
Cedric’s expression quickly became heavy.
‘Cedric. You were an ambitious man.’
Lamein, who realized the unknown fact, slowly opened her mouth.
“So, are you saying we should maintain this married life?”
“Of course. However…”
“However what?”
“Our relationship needs to change a little. No. To be precise, you, Lamein, need to change.”
Hmm. Lamein swallowed a short breath.
“How do you say I should change?”
“First, stop behaving like a person who wants to be kicked out of this house.”
Lamein suddenly widened her eyes.
The readers who read the original were screaming to quickly kick out Lamein, who stuck to the main characters like a tick and did bad things. But.
‘It seems like Lamein wants to leave this house more than anyone else? Otherwise, there’s no reason to do this.’
She read the original with a different thought.
But she was surprised that Cedric was looking at Lamein with the same eyes as her.
In order to hide the surprised expression, she gently closed her eyes.
“Why do you think I want to be kicked out of here?”
“If not, you wouldn’t have mentioned divorce.”
“……”
“The moment the word ‘divorce’ came out of your mouth, my thoughts were confirmed.”
To translate his words,
In the meantime, the reason for Lamein’s strange behavior was to divorce. The moment she mentioned the word divorce, she concluded that it was all for the divorce.
Is that what it was?
She gently soothed the eyes that Lamein was looking at with force.
‘Anyway, there’s nowhere to go even if I leave here.’
The moment she was threatened by Heter, she thought that a mud road, not a flower road, would be unfolded if she left this place.
‘I don’t even know how this world works yet, so it might be better for me to do as Cedric says.’
Rather than heading barefoot, the judgment was made that it would be wise to leave here after doing something for sure.
She looked straight at the man who refused to divorce at the right time.
“I was short of thought. I didn’t want to live with a husband who had no interest in me like this.”
“……”
“But as you say, it’s certain that it’s not just our two things.”
Cedric nodded his head.
“Then let’s divorce after you receive the duke’s title.”
“Let’s do that. And I also was short of thought. I will apologize for that part.”
“……Apology?”
The man who threw a strange word had a faint smile.
“Even the party concerned says that he is a husband with no interest. I think it’s likely that such a rumor will spread.”
So what do you want to say?
When she was staring blankly.
“I also intend to change my behavior.”
“……”
“I hope you weren’t embarrassed.”
“……Yes?”
The smile of the man in front of her eyes felt weird as if it would cause goosebumps.
“You will receive the attention you have never received before.”
A serious voice dug into her ears.
