I'm Divorcing My Tyrant Husband

After Alexander left to apologize, something surprising happened.

That's right…

'The empress went to the grey market herself, put up a big auction, and bought thirty slaves... nothing happened?!'

It was.

Just in case, I looked through all the five major daily newspapers of the Empire as well as cheap thorns.

But nowhere else was the news that I had been to Ramancha's street.

'I've created so many witnesses, why the hell?!'

The reason why I wore the most conspicuous attire and led numerous escorts to shoot was to create even one more witnesses.

None of them were done.

I was very disappointed because I had high expectations for this event.

Something like a flash of light flashed through my mind as I sat blankly in my despair.

'Don't tell me, Alexander did this?'

I don't know how he did it, but he seemed to be able to do it.

'Really this man...!'

As I tried to run to Alexander in a single step of anger, I stopped short of ten steps.

'No, maybe even this could be that man's scheme. You're trying to make me angry and come to you.'

I think it's an exaggeration, but if it was Alexander, it was possible.

'A human like a serpent. Look where I'm going. I'll never go. I won't even meet you face to face.'

With that in mind, I took a deep breath and controlled my anger.

"Whether you win or I win, let's try."

Sometime after that.

"Your Majesty, it's nothing but... What should I do with the items you bought last time? I'm here because two warehouses are full and you don't have any orders."

As I was getting my maid's nail care, another maid asked me.

Only then did I remember the things I had bought back then.

After visiting the streets of La Mancha, many things had happened, so I had completely forgotten about it.

"Oh, there was that. What am I supposed to do about that....."

After thinking for a while, I said refreshingly.

"Let's burn it all down."

"Yeah? Huh, all of them?"

The maid looked startled. Seriously, who wouldn't be surprised that the things I bought with a lot of money were taken out and burned without even looking at them.

'But I didn't buy it out of interest in the first place, I just bought it for my notoriety, so it doesn't matter.'

"Yeah. Burn it all down without missing a single one."

I looked into my fingernails, which were polished and well-groomed, and even soaked in pretty water.

The maid had no choice but to obey the order even with a puzzled face.

'Come to think of it, this was one of the things I bought at that time.'

'I found it!'

An ugly doll with crooked eyes, nose and mouth was sitting quietly in one of the cabinets.

I don't know for sure, but it had that eerie appearance, organs drawn on its body, and it was a cursed doll no matter how much you looked at it.

The ugly and shabby shape was strangely affectionate, and it was set aside for Alexander to annoy.

"Casey, do you know how to use a cursed doll?"

The maid who trimmed my nails seemed startled by my question.

"Curse, the curse doll?"

"Yes."

"As far as I know, you can decorate the person you want to curse to resemble the figure of the person you want to curse, and put parts of the person's body, such as nails or hair....."

At the maid's words, I raised the corners of my lips long and smiled.

"There is such a thing."

The maids don't know about this doll. Because it was a product of the absence of maids.

'That's right. Dressed up just like Alexander, part of his body... Hmm.'

Alexander always annoys me, but there were two problems with putting a curse on him right now.

First of all, it is strictly forbidden to curse the imperial family under the imperial law, and the imperial family will be punished according to the crime of harm.

And secondly, the absence of any part of his body.

'Because I'm the Empress, getting a single hair wouldn't be a thing if I put my mind to it, but I don't really want to do that.'

Anyway, I have to see him to do that. I didn't want to be so enthusiastic about being punished for harming the royal family.

'Well, this is just... I'll keep it just in case.'

Dark hair, yellow eyes, and a mischievous smile.

Of course, it may be difficult to find a curse doll decorated in the shape of an emperor.

To prevent such danger, I drew the face ugly on purpose. At this rate, no one will recognize that Alexander is.

'It would have been enough.'

When I saw the finished doll, I laughed, then put the doll in the bookcase safe and locked it.

"Whew, that was fun."

After being grumpy, I was relieved of my anger, and I was able to think about my future plans with a clearer head.

'Although Alexander is a bit more stubborn than I thought... Anyway, divorce is something that must be done, then what should I do after that?'

In fact, I was expecting that I might be able to return to the original world, but that too gradually faded after a few months of coming here.

'Well, I've been isolated from my family anyway, and I don't really have any friends. I might be better off living here. Although it was borrowed from someone else...… '

If so, under the premise of continuing to live here.

How will I live after divorce?

'Robelia has almost no family, and she doesn't have any reliable friends.'

I thought with cold eyes.

'In the end, the only thing I can trust is money and me.'

In fact, I spend money like crazy not only to become a villain and get divorced, but also to prepare for the future.

The imperial society is very conservative, so in the event of a divorce, all basic property is taken by men.

But there are only two things a woman can take with her, jewelry and a dress.

In other words, buying jewelry and dresses while spending the finances of the imperial family was my future ȧsset.

'With all this luxury, I'll get a decent house in a small town.'

If I run a business with the remaining money, I will be able to feed enough for myself.

Or use my talents to work as a lawyer or a tax accountant.

Although there have been no female lawyers or tax accountants in the history of the Empire, it is not prohibited by law, so it is possible.

'I don't know exactly what to do, but it'd be better to open up the back side in advance.'

If you go beyond just spending money, build acquaintance with the superiors, and shop for business items, it will definitely help you in the future.

So I spent the whole afternoon making plans for the future and having a good time.

"A letter has been sent to the Empress."

"Yeah? Who sent it?"

"He's a common man who works on the streets of La Mancha. He says his name is Joseph Murrant."

Alexander did not raise his head and fixed his gaze on the papers, but as soon as he heard the secretary's words, his hand stopped and did not move.

"Contents?"

"Well, um... the teachings of Her Majesty on the streets of La Mancha last time were so impressive and unforgettable. I hope you will continue to give me such "teaching," and if you do, I will devote my whole life to Her Majesty."

According to imperial law, among the mail addressed to the imperial family, the royal courts were primarily to review the items of commoners or unidentified persons.

It was a discipline that arose when the 13th emperor opened a letter from an unidentified commoner and was poisoned by poison on the letter.

Alexander knew who Joseph Murrant was because he had been informed about Robelia's actions on the streets of La Mancha. He is a man who was punished by Robelia for whipping a young slave.

Alexander didn't think long.

"If the whipping is that good, you should do it. Catch the sender, torture them, and put them in a dungeon."

"All right."

Secretary Robert nodded and left the office.

But Alexander's time alone did not last long.

"I see the Emperor's unsettling sun, His Majesty the Emperor."

The new figure was Alexander's reliable source of information.

"Come here. Anything to report?"

Alexander said without taking his eyes off the papers.

"It's... the empress has disposed of all the goods she kept in the warehouse."

"What? Disposed?"

"Yeah. It is said that she burned it without leaving a single one, but..."

When Alexander gave a startled expression, unexpectedly, the informant faltered in embarrassment.

Alexander's face hardened.

'As expected... You didn't buy it to use with me.'

Of course it wasn't a big deal. Even if Robelia didn't want to spend the night with Alexander, he had enough ability to seduce her.

But what is this strange feeling that something in my heart feels empty?

'In the end, looking at what was disposed of or it must have been an accidental purchase, or the purchase itself was a meaningless act.'

Alexander quickly adjusted his expression. Skillfully hiding his emotions was one of his organs.

"Is that all?"

"No, Your Majesty. I have one more piece of news. That is... the slaves your Majesty bought from the streets of La Mancha."

Alexander asked again, turning his gaze to the paperwork.

"Anything happened to the slaves?"

"No. That... Slaves do their job too well."

"Huh?"

"The slaves are doing their job incredibly well, and the Empress's approval rating in the palace is rising."
