I'm Divorcing My Tyrant Husband

"…. This is nonsense, really."

I mumbled that with a stiff face.

As I rested, the maids who seemed to be watching from behind cautiously approached me.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

"I think the Emperor valued Her Majesty so much that his feelings have intensified."

"That's right. All because His Majesty the Emperor loved Her Majesty so much…."

"No, the Emperor doesn't love me."

I shook my head and cut off their words.

"And even if he loves me, he shouldn't be like this. Trying to force someone to be by your side cannot be called love."

"..."

The maids hesitated and shut their mouths at the words as determined as my blade.

'Why is he so obsessed with me?'

The moment I thought of that, the image of Alexander, who was obsessed with Aisha possessed in the original work, came to mind.

'You're originally an obsessed and possessive person, but instead of Aisha, did you feel those feelings for me?'

But it was definitely a strange thing.

Because I wasn't Aisha!

'According to the original story, Alexander is supposed to love Aisha, but it is strange that he is so obsessed with me. No matter how talented I am....'

I knew that he liked me as a talented person, but I never imagined that he would be so obsessed with someone he liked as a talented person, not a person with romantic feelings.

'If you fall in love with Aisha later, you will regret doing this to me. Foolish man.'

I bite my tongue.

I've been doing all kinds of evil things to get him to divorce me.

There may be some shortcomings, but I can confidently say that I did my best, at least within the limits of my imagination and abilities.

'But instead of convincing him to divorce her, he ended up taking an oath to Mestapo.'

When it happened and I tried to force myself to roll my brain in a state of embarrassment, I felt like I was getting a fever from my head.

I bit my lips and held my forehead. My eyes shined sharply under the shadow.

'I think….. I think the time has come to change the direction of the plan.'

Yes, now that what I did was an effort to change Alexander's mind.....

'I'm trying to figure out a way to get a divorce without changing Alexander's mind.'

Of course, this was much more difficult. There is a reason why I have tried to change Alexander's mind and get a consensual divorce.

'He is not anyone else, but the Emperor of the Empire, so he has such great power that he is called the owner of the continent. Divorce against his will would be a really hard and tough road.'

It could be difficult, and even dangerous.

When I remembered the fact, my throat was burning and my heart pounded anxiously.

'... Should I not get divorced?'

Even such a weak thought came to mind.

'The maids did as well, so why not stay here as an Empress without getting a divorce?'

Maybe that's not a bad life either.

The Empress of the Empire! Isn't it the life of the greatest wealth and power that all women in the empire would envy?

I'm not as bubbly as the Robelia I was before, so I wouldn't be ignored that much. As Alexander said, I will be able to spend the money and live in all kinds of luxuries in the future.

Besides, it wasn't that difficult for my abilities to work as an Empress in the palace.

'Although Alexander will fall in love with Aisha and I will have no choice but to watch them stir-fry.... but I can also establish a government too.'

I imagined my life as an Empress...… Soon I shook my head.

"No... This isn't it."

There will be money and power, but that was not what I wanted.

'I don't want to be someone's wife, I want to be the real me.'

I thought about it.

'Because she is the Emperor's wife, she enjoys wealth and power... What is the meaning of such a life? As Alexander said in the original story, they are things that you never know when you will lose them according to his whims!'

Alexander now shows all sorts of attention and devotion to me, but this was only part of his whims.

If he fall in love with Aisha, he won't even notice something like me anymore.

'And what's interesting about dating the government? Since I have power, anyone would pretend to like me. It would only be miserable to do such a heartless love affair.'

And decided.

'Yes, why did you earn money in your previous life, and you are tired of playing power. What I want is not the wealth and power that others have in return, but the confident myself and sincere affection.'

I raised my head. Green eyes sprang up under the disorganized bangs.

'And those are things that can never be obtained from Alexander's decision.'

So the conclusion is, somehow leaving Alexander's decision.

Even if it's against his will, she'll runs away somehow.

'But…. How?'

Yes, that was the problem.

'I have collected jewels to be used as personal slush funds, but it must be an amount that the emperor of the empire cannot afford. If I don't prepare for that, I'm surely will get caught on fire before I even go out.'

Furthermore, it would take a very long time to prepare, but I couldn't imagine how long it would take.

Maybe... years? Decades? No, maybe a few hundred years.

'It would be nice to have a helper to help me escape. He must have possessed great wealth and power comparable to that of the Emperor. And there are a lot of Alexander's eyes inside the palace, so it would be better if they were outside the palace.'

But it was almost impossible.

First of all, who has the wealth and power comparable to Alexander, the male protagonist of a romance fantasy novel, and if there is such a person, why would he help me?

'Even if we make a deal, I have to make a deal when it's at a certain level. If he have that much wealth and power, he won't even snort with my jewelry.'

I, who was agonizing over the fire in my head, eventually suċkėd out these words without realizing it.

"Oh, my. What should I do?""

"Your Majesty".

That's when someone called me. It was one of my maids.

"What's wrong?"

"That's it, a guest without an agreements has arrived."

She looked like she was embarrassed. That's because it's rare for someone who is as strong as an Empress to come suddenly without any agreements.

Except for the Emperor.

"What? Who's that cheeky, unpromising bastard?"

"That's... Duke Norman Schwarzkopf."

"The Duke of Schwarzkopf"?

I was surprised, of course, and the other maids as well.

Well, he was more unsuitable for coming to me than anyone else.

"Isn't the Duke of Schwarzkopf the most recent member of the Queen?"

"It's suspicious. Maybe he's been trying to figure out what's going on here, in other words, to make a fuss."

Of course, I knew a lot about him. Since I came here, I have studied the high-ranking nobles and their powers.

Furthermore, he is...

He's the main character of the original sub-main character.

That's right. He was also a character who was heavily defeated in the original.

'Flower from another world's, first sub-male protagonist! In terms of wealth, it's higher than Caleb. He is a noble and gentle sub-male lead who lives as a loner under the stigma of being a fruit manipulator and is saved by Aisha and then realizes by her. The very one that drew tears from many readers with sorrowful purity....'

After I came here, I found out that Aisha seemed to be doing well, so I wondered if love for her was growing smoothly. By the way…

'But why is such a Norman Schwarzkopf came to me?!'

I couldn't help but doubt that it was really Aisha's trilogy.

Since he is also a sub-male, he must have been incredibly handsome, comparable to Alexander or Caleb. What if she trying to dig up information about me by using a handsome guy with that awesome beauty?

"It must be dangerous, Your Majesty. It might be better not to meet."

"That's right. Let's send him back under the pretext of sickness."

The maids said anxiously.

But in the end, the words that came out of my mouth…

"Bring him here"

"Your Majesty"

"Are you really okay?"

'Norman Schwarzkopf's visit to Robelia at this point is a scene that was not in the original. If the story is changing from the original, the more information about the differences, the better.'

Thinking so, I nodded my head.

"Okay. Don't worry too much. Although he is an aide to the Queen, he is said to be a decent person."

"Yeah, but…"

"Don't just stare blankly like that, and fix my makeup."

Only then did the maids nod their heads. Feeling the touch of them surrounding me and starting to fix their makeup, I hypothesized one by one about why Norman came into my head and started simulating in my head.

'But it doesn't help much. There is too little information to make a plausible hypothesis.'

Soon the makeup was over, and a maid informed that the duke had arrived.

"Let him in."

I said, having prepared my heart.

At my instructions, the maid opened the door of the drawing room, and the image of the person waiting beyond was revealed.

The first time I met him was...

"Oh my!"

One of the maids burst into exclamations. Of course, I closed my mouth immediately after receiving attention from other maids, but I didn't want to blame her.

Even so, my opponent was incredibly handsome.

The Duke Schwarzkopf, who glowing in a white robe with golden tassels, was a handsome man with silver hair, red eyes like glass grains, and transparent, pure white skin that showed blood vessels.

"The moon that never sets, I greet your Majesty the Empress."

He greeted with courtesy with a calm but modest gesture.

'He's one of Aisha's closest aides, so I'd better be wary because he can't have good feelings for me.'

Thinking that way, I made my face as cold as possible and covered my mouth with a fan.

"It's nice to meet you, Duke Schwarzkopf. It's probably our first time meeting face to face, right? You rarely attend proms, etc."

Norman slowly lowered his eyelashes.

"Your Majesty may have seen me for the first time, but I've seen Her Majesty from afar."
