I'm Divorcing My Tyrant Husband

Chapter 10 - Giving an empire doesn't change the way you are. 

"Yes?"

I almost dropped my fork at the sudden remark.

Looking back, Alexander's golden eyes were looking at me.

He bent his upper body toward me with a smile as his eyes met.

"Was that not enough? Even better and more expensive clothes would fit your eyes. What do you think, robelia."

I heard a gasping and breathing sound around me. Perhaps I wasn't the only one who was surprised.

'You've been covering me like that before, and I can't believe you're talking about this at this timing! It's obvious anyone can misunderstand our relationship!'

I felt a cold sweat running down my back.

One thing that seemed to have a good relationship to Alexander has declined from this side.

If the relationship with him looks as bad as possible, there will be public opinion about divorce, but the better the relationship looks, the less likely it will be!

'I'm going to have to make them never talk about gifts again.'

I decided to bluff a little bit so that Alexandros could get rid of the crane.

"You know it very well. My nobility doesn't go well with clothes like that. I shouldn't compare myself to one city, not just one last name, right?"

"huh!"

"Huh, cool, cool!"

At my ridiculous bluff, I heard the surrounding guards dropping dishes in fear.

Even Aisha was embarrassed, and she coughed.

'No matter how much you are the emperor of the empire, you think that this is too much?'

Thinking so, I looked at the other person's reaction. But....

Unexpectedly, Alexander was smiling.

It wasn't just laughing either. His shining golden eyes revealed sincere satisfaction and joy, over his smooth lips and gently curved lips.

I mean, if I have to interpret the meaning of that expression...

'Yeah, well, I wonder if that's how it works' right?

"Would you just take the city?"

Alexander said with a low smile.

"Even if I could get another empire, I wouldn't trade you. Aren't you the pillar of this empire and my only empress?"

What the hell is going on with this man?

At this point, I couldn't hide my embarrassment. It's not that I'm not, but I was trying hard to stop my mouth from opening.

'I'm not crazy! Whose dog's name is a city?'

No matter how much I decided to be extravagant, it's all to divorce Alexander.

It's meaningful to have a luxury that Alexander hates, and it doesn't mean anything if he takes the lead and puts on the red carpet for luxurious!

'I feel like I'm going to die just thinking about it! What the hell is wrong with these people?'

I guess you're just saying that, I wondered if I could give a real city worth of clothes....

Now I wasn't sure. He would be like that, not too long ago, couldn't I imagine myself being ridiculously cheap and like Alexander, who gave me clothes worth a castle and slammed the Marquis' cheek in a public place.

'What if he really makes a an outside worth a castle and gives it to me as a gift?'

Aisha played in front of me who were sweating and wondering how to stop him like a crazy runaway locomotive.

I didn't like Aisha very much, but this time she couldn't help but appear as the savior.

"I don't mind if you don't give me such an expensive dress. A dress made of silk and flax is enough for me. People's values don't change according to their clothes."

Aisha said with a shy face.

"If the Emperor stays with me, that's enough for me. Even though I don't have gold and silver treasures, the Emperor treats me like a treasure."

I thought Aisha's baby hair was going pretty well, but this time it was a bit off the mood.

If you said that Alexander gave you an expensive gift, but next to you, it wouldn't be good for the other person to say that you thought it wasn't worth an expensive gift.

'You've become so desperate, Aisha.'

It was worth it. In front of me, I heard that Alexander covered my faults and even presented me with expensive clothes.

No matter how much Aisha is nervous.

Furthermore, based on the original work, Alexandros has never shown any interest or favor to Robelia before, so this would be completely unimaginable for Aisha to experience it for the first time.

It is not unreasonable to try to attract Alexander's attention because she is embarrassed.

That method was 'appealing frugality', which has worked well so far.

And maybe not....

"What are you talking about? Aisha."

It clattered and Alexander put the brandy cup down on the table. His voice was much lower.

"What do you mean you don't have gold treasures? I've given you enough money to fulfill your duties as the Queen of the Empire."

"Yes? Well, so I mean......."

"Failure to admit that you are the one you have, it is a deception against those who have nothing. How can you fulfill your responsibilities to the people as a person who has, even though you do not know that you have."

Alexander was talking about 'Noblesse oblige'.

'I thought you were just an authority, but you know that.'

"So, being modesty and humility is not a virtue of the imperial family. It is not only for our people but also for the people of the Empire that does not undermine the authority of the imperial family. Do you understand me, Aisha?"

His words surprised not only Aisha but also me.

I never dreamed that he had such a thought. The only thing that came out in the original novel was being extremely arrogant and crazy about Aisha. There was no glimpse of his philosophy as an emperor.

'I've seen it a little bit again.'

Meanwhile, Aisha's pupils were shaking violently. When it comes to earthquakes, it was a great earthquake with an intensity of 8.0.

"Yes, yes! I will keep in mind."

Even so, Aisha didn't seem to understand Alexander's words.

'It doesn't matter if you repeat the same mistake in the future.'

But it was worth it.

'Isn't this the first time Alexander has pointed out something to Aisha?'

However, no matter how far I searched, in the original, he never said anything dislike to Aisha.

'Then, is this a historical day when Alexander pointed out Aisha's words and actions?'

I, the person watching from the side, is so embarrassed and unbelievable that this fact is, how much more would the person involved be?

'Is it because it's still the beginning of the original?" It's a time when Alexander has a favor for Aisha, but not love.'

But I can't ask the parties about this outright. In the end, I have no choice but to judge as much as I can.

'I guess Aisha's stupid voice was a bit too loud. It doesn't look good in Alexander's eyes either.'

Yeah, I'm sure it is.

To think of other possibilities, the scenes from the original were too clear in my head.

'... let's eat.'

The atmosphere at the dinner hall was getting cold.

It was a matter of course. The emperor, the most powerful man, scolded his favorite queen in front of everyone.

No one dared to speak first and was just looking at Alexander. In the meantime, I could only hear the sound of my utensils bumping into each other.

Alexander grinned as if he didn't know that.

"What are you doing? Hurry up. I called in so many people, but there's no one else who can do a drink with me?"

"I, I'll drink with you."

"I'll drink it with you. Here's another brandy!

"I am very good at drinking, so my nickname is a drunkard among my friends."

The atmosphere quickly became loud. I stuck my tongue out at Alexander' ability to cope.

'I lift and release the atmosphere by myself.'

Since then, the time for dinner has passed peacefully.

Except for Robelia's intentional defeat.

"The consommé soup has cooled down! Warm it up again."

"Get rid of all the lamb dishes in front of me. 'Cause this horrible smell makes me sick.'

"Put all the small bits out of the dish, roast the beef back in medium rare, and peel all the tomatoes in the capreze salad. Tomato shells are indigestible."

Robelia's spell was horribly tantalizing. There are one or two picky tastes among other aristocrats, but she was unique among them.

Thanks to this, the palace officials and the imperial palace chef had to go back and forth to the dinner table and the kitchen several times while sweating.

Aisha, on the other hand, said she is not picky and eats everything well.

The nobles mumbled at the sight of Robelia.

"her Majesty used to be very wise, but I think she's become strange recently."

"I'm telling you, she've been so merciful and quiet, why have she changed like this?"

"She's always been an empress who cares about her people...."

The nobles shook their heads, dragging their tongues. Of course, none of them acknowledged the former Robelia and treated her with sincerity before.

Instead of ordering with all sorts of tantrums, Robelia ate all the dishes she ordered.

Not only was she hungry, but she was always good at eating anything. Although she tried to maintain the villain concept, she couldn't hide her innate appetite either.

On the other hand, Aisha thought she was going to scoop up a few spoons, but soon put down her fork.

"I am full."

There were plenty of uneaten dishes left on the plate in front of her saying so.

Although Alexander was exceptionally wrapped around Robelia today, the vassals did not think he was truly for her.

Alexander's whims were so severe that today's work was also considered part of those whims.

As such, Alexander usually neglected Robelia and gave Aisha a long time to see her convenience.

"Surely, the queen is a slender and quiet woman herself."

"I also like women who eat less. Doesn't it stimulate the protective instinct to protect?"

The vassals made explicit flattery toward Aisha.

Whether or not, Robelia ate as much as she wanted.

'As expected, Koreans are the best. Do your evil side of a villain.'

Like a Korean who values rice, she emptied the plate without leaving a single bean.

And there was a gaze upon those women.

It was Alexander. As always, he had eaten the amount of meals, and he was playing with a dessert wine.

It stopped before his glass of wine touched his lips.

Just above the wine glass, the golden eyes shone as if they were interesting.

Nothing special happened for a while after the dinner party.

Until one invitation comes to me.
