I'm Divorcing My Tyrant Husband

It was as Robert said.

Robelia just bought them for the notoriety of spending money on Ramancha Street and purchasing slaves, but the slaves had a value beyond her expectations.

What the auction host said about them was 'the highest quality in auction history' was not a lie. Everyone had their own specialty. Embroidery and sewing, swordsmanship, laundry, cooking, ceramics, playing musical instruments...

If it were just that, they wouldn't have stood out so much.

Above all, they had a stronger 'will' than anyone else.

"The Empress is the benefactor who saved us."

"That's right. I heard that young female slaves like us almost always serve the rich at night, but I can't tell you how happy I am to be able to do a decent job while eating a warm meal in the imperial family like this."

"I think I can do anything to repay this favor to the Empress."

"By the way, did you hear the news? The queen is much more promising and popular here in the imperial family. Everyone only likes the queen and ignores the empress and neglects her."

"Let us work hard so that no one can ignore Her Majesty the Empress."

"All right. I will prove the Empress's point of view."

All the slaves were deeply grateful for Robelia, and worked devotedly for her.

In addition, the experts who Robelia entrusted with the internal affairs of the palace were so good that they were placed in the right place so that they could show their talents without regret.

Soon, the area of ​​Robelia became clean as if it were shining brightly, not a single weed or insect could be seen, and good scents and melodies flowed from everywhere.

Moreover, the slaves did not only work in a certain area. In order to make Robelia's name known, they took charge of the various places in the Imperial Palace.

Rumors about this new servant, the maids, soon spread among all the courtiers.

"Did you hear about the new servants and maids that the Empress did?"

"I heard that everyone works incredibly well and even comes out to help even if it's not their own area?"

"Besides, everyone was pretty and handsome!"

"Where did Her Majesty bring such great talents from?"

Because of Alexander's work, the courtiers did not know that they were slaves, but thought they were ordinary commoners who had been hired from somewhere.

As their work became more comfortable, the royal courts truly admired the empress's outstanding insight and connections.

"Your Majesty is really amazing. Not only are you good at work, but you also know so many people who are good at other things."

"A good person is bound to follow a good person. Seeing that there are so many talented and hard-working people next to Her Majesty, Her Majesty certainly has the charm to follow."

"It's wonderful. I want to talk to Her Majesty the Empress."

"I wish I could get a glance..."

So, even though she was playing and eating without doing anything, Robelia received the trust and praise of the courtiers.

"Your Majesty the Empress is a wonderful person."

"I'm glad that she's our empress."

"I hope she will continue to be His Majesty our Empress forever!"

Of course, Robelia herself had never dreamed of doing that.

Few people knew that the slaves I brought were slaves.

'No matter what, they've been to staying in the imperial palace for a year, but if it is known that they are a slave, they may be bullied by other courtiers. I'd better hide that fact.'

Therefore, not many people knew that Caleb, servants, and maid were slaves. Among my aides were maids and servants.

But, unlike the other slaves, it seemed strange to keep Caleb so close.

One day, not long after I had bought the slaves, the chieftain asked me this.

"Her Majesty, shall I wash your dear slave named Caleb clean, clothe him in silk, and send him to Your Majesty's bedroom?"

"Gasp!"

I almost spit out the tea I was drinking at that shocking remark.

"What do you mean by sending him to my bedroom? I'm not taking Caleb with that intention."

"Yes? Well, then... What is the reason?"

The chieftain was rather surprised, as if he had heard a more surprising sound.

My head was throbbing. I was both embarrassed and angry at being misunderstood.

'Yeah, it's said that young, good-looking slaves usually serve the night, and it's true that I've been particularly close to Caleb, so the chief may be misunderstood.'

Moreover, it is not uncommon for married people to have a government in the Empire, so it was hard to see that the chieftain was wrong for such a misunderstanding.

'But.... Caleb is a child!'

Of course, the Empire is different from Korea. Awareness of the protection of minors was low, so it was common for young children to work or get married.

I speak in a sharper voice.

"I have Caleb only to protect and educate him at his young age. And Caleb... I know, all the slaves I've bought are not night attendants. If you ask such a rude question again, you will be scorned, so be careful."

"Yes, yes. I sincerely apologize."

I really wanted to be seen as a villain, but I still had a sense of humor, and I didn't want to be misunderstood that slaves were used during the night. Not only me, but the reputation of others is also at stake.

In any case, I hoped these words wouldn't reach Caleb's ears.

How surprised and hurt would the innocent child be when he this young?

However.... My anxious wish eventually came true.

✩✩✩✩✩

"Did you call? Her Majesty."

"Yes, Caleb."

Caleb entered my bedroom. I said without taking my eyes off the book I was reading.

"Are you studying magic well?"

"Yeah, thanks... Oh, I got compliments from my teacher today. They say it's amazing to use the magic of the 3rd circle at this age. I'm not sure..."

Caleb boasted of the praise he had received from his master. His voice, which seemed hesitant at first, grew stronger, and at the end he had a rather proud tone of voice.

I laughed bitterly.

"Yeah, that's good."

"By any chance... Can you come to the next class in person? The teacher also said he would welcome Her Majesty's visit at any time. Of course, you must be very busy, but I would be very happy if you could come in person."

"Um, I'll think about it. You know, I'm a little busy."

Indeed it was. It's because the mystery novel I'm reading right now was so much fun.

It was a really awesome book full of thrilling events and charming characters, but there were 17 books in total, so I was stuck on reading the book for a few days.

Actually, I couldn't even imagine. I've only been paying less attention to Caleb for only three or four days, but I don't think he'll keep it in mind...

Caleb said nothing for a moment.

Eventually, he opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.

"Uh, Her Majesty."

"Yeah?"

"I, I have heard such things from the courtiers. Young slaves are often... Serving the high-ranking people at night."

"What?"

At the unexpected words, I folded the book and turned my gaze to Caleb.

Caleb smiled shyly, blushing on both cheeks.

"Now you're looking at me."

"What are you talking about all of a sudden, Caleb? Night service."

"Uh... no matter how much I think about it, compared to what Her Majesty does for me, there is so little I can do for Her Majesty."

Caleb said that and came to me.

His brown eyes were as big and clear as a deer.

"So, Your Majesty... I know you did not bring me here with this intention, but..."

Caleb suddenly came closer to me and hugged my head slowly. Even as a child, he was taller and bigger than me, and he embraced me completely.

"If I can help your Majesty even like this..."

His weeping eyes met mine.

His pink lips were approaching slowly, but with clear intent.

He closed his eyes slowly. The moment his brown eyelashes fluttered down like a buŧŧerfly and his lips got dangerously close...

"No!!!"

I screamed as hard as I could and pushed him away.

Udangtangtang!! Obviously it was me who pushed, but instead of his solid body, I fell.

"Your, Your Majesty!"

"What's going on?"

At my scream, the guards and maids waiting in the hallway rushed in.

"Aww, my eyes! I saw something I couldn't see! Somebody bring water, water!"

"Yes, water?"

The maids hurriedly came with water jugs and washbasins.

I hurriedly washed my eyes with the water.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"What happened?"

After washing my face one time, I came back to my sanity. I said, wiping my face with the towel her maid gave me.

"I have something to say to Caleb, so everyone go out."

"Ha, but....."

"Get out!"

Eventually, the knights and maids went out into the hallway again.

I turned to Caleb.

His face was blushing from shame and embarrassment.

"Your, Your Majesty..... Do I look that ugly? To the point where you hurriedly wash your eyes...?"

Caleb said with tears in his eyes.

"I'm really sorry for polluting Your Majesty's precious eyes. But I also practiced hard to please Her Majesty, and again I…"

I sighed and shook my head.

"It's not like that, Caleb. It's not that you're ugly or anything like that. But you're too young."

"Yes? Ha, but... In my hometown, most people my age get married..."

Although I keep calling him a child, it's not unreasonable that Caleb is also a teenager who has almost passed his secondary sėxuȧŀ characteristics.

I shook my head again and spoke firmly with strength in my voice.

"No, Caleb. You're only 16, you're still underage. You're not old enough to have sėx with an ȧduŀt."

"Yes....?"

"I'm proud of you for trying to help me, but the method was very wrong. Now, Copy me! My body is precious! I will not give my precious body to anyone!"

"Your, your Majesty isn't 'anyone'...?"

"Right, do you want me to try it?"

"My..... my body is precious! I will not give my precious body to anyone!"

"Okay, repeat the same ten times!"

In the end, Caleb copied what I said ten times.

"Your Majesty... I'm so embarrassed."

"It's not that you should be ashamed of this, you should be envious of not valuing your body."

Caleb still didn't seem to understand. When he looked at me with a timid face, I stroked him on the head to reassure him.

"Understand? Cherish and take card of your body, and later when you become an ȧduŀt, only allow it to those you really want to allow."

".....that's your majesty....."

"Uh-huh. I told you not to do that, right?"

"Yes...."
