I'm Divorcing My Tyrant Husband

Chapter 52 - I'm afraid you'll get hurt

"I...."

Aisha, who had been frozen for a moment, immediately came to her senses.

"Aren't you crazy?! On the subject of slavery, How dare you!"

Caleb gave a sullen, twisted laugh as she shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Please, Your Highness the Queen. Even if you are naive, you sometimes feel angry. When your precious person is insulted, it is even more outrageous."

He said as if when he approached, she backed away.

"Once the conflict is over, I will leave. I hope that you will also bring evidence to the next interrogation."

"Hey, where are you going! Hey! Slave"

Aisha shouted angrily, but Caleb had already left the place.

Only Aisha and the gorgeous tea set were left in the drawing room.

"Did that happen?"

Stopped the hand that was moving the cup to her lips, Robelia asked.

"Yeah! Isn't it really sensible? The truth about the Queen that pretending to be kind like that has been exposed everyone."

"It was that woman who framed the Empress... I'm so angry."

"Won't your Majesty the Emperor punish the Queen for this?"

Robelia, who had a serious face among the maids who each spoke their opinions wildly, suddenly spoke.

"Who could it be? The person who changed the SP pin board."

"Yes? Not sure."

"According to the rumors, the Queen is looking for them like a mouse, but it seems they are in the dark."

"Wouldn't anyone care? They humiliated the Queen that way, and I think they're on the side of our Empress, It would be great if it was the Emperor."

"Oh, that would be nice~."

But Robelia didn't think so.

'It can't be Alexander. Even though he is a male protagonist, how can he do something that causes so much harm to his beloved female protagonist? Even if he's not completely in love yet, at least he'll has a favorable impression.'

She thought with a serious face.

'Who are you? As the maids said, someone with great abilities must be manipulating magic tools, so you must have great magical powers.'

The maids seemed to think lightly that if they were the Queen's enemies, they would be on the side of the Empress anyway, and that would be enough, but Robelia could not think so.

'It's clear that Aisha's enemy is, but that doesn't guarantee that he will always be on my side... A person who has such magical powers, but has an antipathy towards Aisha or... '

"Are you very concerned?"

A friendly voice broke Robelia's thoughts.

"Oh, Caleb, that's right. It's impossible to know what the other person's intentions are, and in a way, it's also a matter related to the security of the imperial family. There is no guarantee that this will only happen to the Queen."

"But unlike the Queen, your Majesty is not hypocritical."

Caleb, who had an innocent face, fluttered his eyelashes.

Robelia couldn't help but smile at that face, as if she didn't know anything.

"It's true, but you never know what the other person will do."

"I see….."

In fact, it wasn't that she didn't think of Caleb in terms of his outstanding magical abilities. Because he has the most outstanding magical talents around Robelia.

'But Caleb can't be like that. He's such a timid and innocent boy. All he has to do is keep following my rules.'

Seeing Caleb's innocent face, Robelia felt ashamed of herself, who had doubted him even for a moment.

'Certainly, Caleb's ability is insufficient to manipulate that level of magic tools.'

Caleb already possessed magical powers beyond the 6th circle, but he was hiding that fact from his magic teacher and Robelia, so Robelia could not doubt him.

Caleb, meanwhile, was thinking this way behind an innocent face.

'After all, you don't think I'm very good at what I've done. I'm glad I didn't tell Her Majesty what I did.'

"Your Majesty, a noble person has come."

"Tell him I'm sleeping."

"That, that....."

But the maid was unable to speak. Because she had a long shadow behind her back.

"I knew you going to say that, so I didn't wait and came directly. It was a wise choice."

A low, slow, reverberating voice.

At the voice that all the maids admired, only the two of them narrowed their brows. It was Robelia and Caleb.

"Don't you know that it is rude to enter someone else's space without permission?"

The maids and Caleb got up from their seats in order to be polite, but Robelia didn't even think about getting up.

But Alexander didn't seem offended in the slightest.

Rather, with a soft smile that seemed familiar with her attitude, he strode into Robelia's room.

"If you are well versed in the laws of the Great Silesi Empire, would you know that telling lies to the Emperor?"

"....."

"Let's see, according to Article 16, Clause 8 of the Imperial Law, imprisonment for not more than 7 years or a fine of not more than 2 million gold coins."

The maids bowed deeply and blushed instead of bowing. They looked at each other and grinned while making a face saying they wanted to die.

Alexander suddenly stood opposite Robelia. He smiled with his arms around the back of the chair.

"The walnut tea table suits you very well, especially with that red hair."

"We'll be on our way out now."

"Wait, don't go out."

The maids who were trying to slip away were startled by Robelia's sharp voice.

"Stay there. Your Majesty will be leaving soon anyway."

"It's sad that it seems like you're building a wall too much."

Alexander complained a little.

Robelia didn't like his appearance very much, but the conversation with the maids really caught my attention. She had something to ask him.

"Since you have just arrived, I have a question for you. Your Majesty. Have you ever heard of the Queen's party recently?"

It was an opportunity that she needed something, that was the opportunity. no matter how trivial it is.

Thinking so, Alexander smiled and went across from her.

"Of course I know. Everything from that party."

"Do you know the culprit who replaced the SP board?"

"Surprisingly, I thought you would be wondering what punishment the Queen would receive for framing you."

"Of course, I'm curious about that, so please answer it."

"First, we're investigating the criminal. There was no evidence left except for the eavesdropping tools found in the Queen's office. He's a very thoughtful man."

"What punishment will the Queen receive?"

"According to Article 71, Clause 15 of the Imperial Court Act, three months of probation at the Imperial Palace and cut of the budget for half a year."

Having said that, Alexander leaned his upper body toward Robelia.

Robelia was startled. His golden eyes gleamed with a strange light.

"Is it not enough?"

"Yes?"

"Didn't she bring down your reputation in an indirect way and cause unclean words to circulate? Do you feel that the punishment is not enough?"

He was asking in a nobleman manner, but his eyes were talking.

Shall I give Aisha more punishment?

'It's true, I'm honest, I don't want Aisha to bother me anymore, but...'

Robelia shook her head without hesitation.

"No."

'But once I've noticed Aisha's plot, I'd better let her act more. Anyway, there will be a limit to the punishment that can be given for this incident anyway, and there is no way to reflect on such a feeble punishment, so it will be better to catch the tail faster because it will not interfere with her next action.'

Alexander's eyes opened in surprise.

"I thought you would say there was a lack of military punishment."

Robelia did not completely trust Alexander. She therefore refused to give her honest opinion.

"I know why the Queen did that, but it was rather helpful for me to ruin my reputation as quickly as possible, and get me out of Your Majesty."

Alexander grinned and licked his lips.

"In the end, it has served you well, so I'll leave you with more of that. This is a resourceful idea, Robelia. However…."

"However?"

"I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

This time, it was Robelia who was surprised.

"I thought you knew how to say such sentimental things. But you can see how severe the crime of the royal family is, even the Queen knows that the crime of contempt is very serious."

"I didn't just talk about the body, Robelia. I'm worried that these things will hurt your heart."

At this point, I couldn't stand it. Robelia felt her own face heat up.

"You're talking nonsense…. Didn't I tell you, things like that benefit me."

"It's separate from objection. There is no one who doesn't hurt even the slightest bit of criticism in the world, Robelia. Furthermore, you try not to show your weakness easily, but even if you're enduring it well now, I hope you can reveal it to someone other than me and get help."

It was absurd.

I had never imagined that I would receive such a delicate concern from the person in front of me.

'You mustn't be deceived by it, because it was just a word that was uttered in an empty way to entice me….'

Yes, it certainly was. Without it, a cold-blooded sociopath like Alexander could never have said such a caring remark.

However…..

His golden eyes when he says so are incredibly warm, and he harbors sincere concerns...

When I look into those eyes, I can really feel his words.

No, it doesn't matter if it's not sincere, right?

Has there ever been a single person in Robelia's life who truly cared for and cared for her to this extent?

There has never been.

It was surprisingly satisfying to hear the words of concern I had never heard before. It was as if the spring rain had fallen on the soil in my ċhėst that had just dried up.

'No, once I get used to his false kindness.'

Robelia bit her lip.

'It's all a lie anyway. Because he knows only Aisha. If there was a foreign object between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, she would only get worse.'

At the end of that, Robelia suċkėd out words that were sharp like a knife.

"I didn't know you were a person who cared so much about the wounds in my heart.. I wonder why such a person neglected me for three years."
