I'm Divorcing My Tyrant Husband

This is a short speech, but I know what is more important than the content.

That's the attitude of speaking.

'The moment I say this sentence is more dignified and determined than anyone else.'

It wasn't that I wasn't nervous, but I was used to hiding my original facial expressions, and the thick makeup made by the maids helped me hide my tension.

'Countless display experiences in previous lives have been so helpful to me'

I looked around with sharp eyes.

Fortunately, my intention was accepted and everyone present wavered.

'To this extent, the momentum seems to have been suppressed. This should be enough.'

Seeing Vanya being bullied, jumping in the queue was purely accidental, but it was intentional to warn the palace people.

I used my authority as an empress to keep the courtiers from bullying the slaves.

'They can't understand because they say that slaves are anti-human beings or that humans are all equal. For the empires, this phrase would be more relatable and easier to understand.'

And it will be more suitable for my evil girl character.

The courtiers were seen shaking without even breathing properly.

I gave them one last warning and turned away.

"Let's go."

I'm going to go back to my bedroom when it's done.

But it was then.

"Your, your... Majesty! Your Majesty!

A delicate voice caught my footsteps as I was about to leave.

Looking back, it turned out to be Vanya, the bedroom maid. I don't know how flustered she was. She was panting gasping for air.

"What's up?"

"I, nothing else, I want to say... I appreciate your help, your majesty."

The sincere thanks made me feel rather embarrassed. I found her purely by accident, but I got into it in a rage.

"I stepped in not to help you, but to teach arrogant children. So don't thank me anymore."

This sentence is in the hope that she will not be too grateful, but it has the opposite effect.

"I can't believe you're worried that I'll feel burdened.… Your Majesty's concern is like that of Hahae. I sincerely respect you with all my heart."

'It's not.'

I was really alarmed by the unexpected response of the other party and made a mistake I shouldn't have made.

"No... There must have been a misunderstanding, but it's not really what you think, Vanya."

When I opened my mouth, I didn't know what I had done wrong. I didn't understand until I saw Vanya stop breathing and open her mouth.

She was so surprised that she gasped and swallowed loudly and asked.

"No way... How did you know my the name?"

Actually, it wasn't a big deal. I knew all my people under my command, the maids, courtiers in charge of the empress' palace, and guards.

Because of the previous occupational disease, I read the manpower list several times and memorized all the names.

But Vanya thinks differently.

"You memorized and remembered my name, which is just a slave... I really don't know how to express this emotion. it's not a big deal, but I'll devote my whole life to your Majesty. With all my heart and body."

She almost cried when she said that.

Aren't you saying that with your big eyes full of tears, sniffling, and occasionally clenching voice?

Moreover, seeing Vanya's appearance, an alarm signal sounded in my mind.

'That won't work! I'm going to keep you guys for a year and make you all independent!'

It was clear that the first buŧŧon of the situation was wrong.

In this situation, no matter what I said, I didn't think I could break her feelings and favor for me.

I just couldn't figure out what to do in this situation.

As a result, I panicked. Unable to say anything, and left the place in a hurry.

"Ah, your majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please wait!"

I heard Vanya's disappointing voice and my maids following, but I didn't stop.

The cold wind of the evening passed by my burning face.

I thought as I walked as fast as I could.

'What should I do under such circumstances?'

＊＊＊＊＊

Caleb was asked back in a voice of disbelief.

The maid of Robelia nodded.

"Yes. Although I didn't know it would be like that."

After hearing the maid's words, Caleb rarely had an anxious expression, which was very rare for him.

'You're going to move the slaves' work places far away because you're afraid that the courtiers will ostracize them. You don't have to worry too much about slaves.'

Caleb's mouth, which had been agonizing over a serious face, slipped for a moment.

'Well, it's nice to hear that kind of kindness is harmful.'

But he soon returned with a serious face.

'Still, it's never good leaving Her Majesty's side and going far away. If Her Majesty really intends to send us far away, he must urgently seek countermeasures'

Caleb, who thought so, showed a very kind and lovely smile.

A beautiful smile like Caleb's sunshine reddened the maid's face. Her eyes rolled aimlessly.

"Of course. I already told you that... I'll try to talk to Her Majesty again."

"Thank you so much."

When Caleb squinted and laughed, the maid bit her lips and wiggled her fingers.

"I... Caleb. If you don't mind, can you take this?"

"Yes? What is it?"

Something was in front of Caleb's eyes.

If you look closely, you can see that it is a handkerchief. embroidered by hand.

His name was embroidered in a beautiful shape as if it were placed by a craftsman with a long experience.

"This... I put every single soul of making this while thinking about Caleb. Don't feel too much pressure, and I hope you'll accept it."

I could tell at a glance what this gift meant.

Although the empress herself said not to ignore or despise the slaves, Caleb was a slave and leg were limped.

Furthermore, the empress's maid is a noble, so no matter how beautiful she looks, it could be said to be a quite unusual case.

Rather, the freezing cold light passed over his brown eyes for a moment.

But it was only for a moment. Caleb quickly regained his friendly face and said.

"Ah... Thank you so much for your sincerity, Irene, but I can't have this. I've decided to be loyal to the Empress all my life."

"Yes? Ha, but.…."

"You know, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable..... Still, this is too much for me, so I refuse."

"I don't want anything else, Caleb. I just want you to take a handkerchief."

The maid desperately said, but Caleb's friendly mask did not shake at all. With a smiling face, he pushed out the handkerchief given by the maid.

"I'm so sorry.""

"Caleb, please! Please just accept it. I won't want anything else. I'm just... Ah!"

During the scuffle, the maid dropped her handkerchief. And Caleb tripped and stepped on it as if it were a mistake caused by limped leg.

"Ah... How could this happen? I'm sorry to stain the works I worked hard to make. I'm sorry. Then I'll just..... Have a good day."

Caleb fȯrċɨbŀƴ handed a handkerchief with big footprints to an ignorant maid.

Moreover, he left the place at an incredible speed.

'To transfer the working places of all slaves..... In fact, except me, other slaves are competitors, so I don't trust them, but this time I can only cooperate with them.'

With Irene's unimaginably cold face, Caleb thought so.

'Her Majesty is a very vulnerable person to the weak. She will certainly help'

Robelia was begged by the maid on the way to breakfast.

"Don't move the slave's workplace?"

"Yes, everyone wants to work next to Her Majesty. In addition, it takes quite a lot of effort and time to adapt to the new workplace and teach work.… Is there a need to do that?"

Robelia replied in distress, dipping croissants in onion soup.

"It depends on the palace people who will obey my orders. If the palace people do not accept slaves and continue to crowd them out, they will be sent to other places no matter how much effort they make."

"Ha, but... They hope so. Work with your majesty..."

"Well, you said that last time. So you don't want to send slaves to other places. It seems that some of the slaves are close to you? Or do you like them?"

Although Irena's face was scarred by robelia's words, robelia was not aware of this fact.

However, robelia turned the topic to Irena's private life.

"And who in the world wants to work next to me that much? What's good about a boss who only spend money on luxury and play like me?"

"Yes? That, that's....."

Hearing Robelia's unexpected words, Irene and all the maids around her widened their eyes.

It was then. They heard a knock on the door.

"I'll go out."

Irene rushed out in a hurry.

'Who is it come so early in the morning?'

Robelia remembered.

Then after a while, the guests who came in were people she couldn't imagine.
