I'm Divorcing My Tyrant Husband

"?!"

It was then that Aisha doubted her ears and took a step back.

An incredibly intense sense of pressure cut off Alexander and weighed her down.

"...!"

At that moment, neither the title of a saint from another world nor the blessings bestowed upon me by the high priest were meaningless.

Only an instinctive fear engulfed her.

"Uh... Ah"

Absolute fear to the point of freezing to the root of the tongue. Physiological fear as an animal in front of a strong animal.

"You're making a huge mistake, Aisha."

As soon as the two clearly shining eyes were facing her, Aisha just wanted to ask for help.

I wanted to pray at his feet as I threw myself down and cried. I just want to save my life.

"Ah… this….."

But in the face of this overwhelming sensation, Aisha couldn't do anything she wanted.

Without showing any mercy toward Aisha, Alexander said.

"You can't replace her. It'll be the same no matter what you do or how you struggle."

'All right. I know! This is enough for me to understand, so please take my life away.'

Aisha thought as she looked into his two golden eyes that were as dazzling as those of a beast.

Right then.

'Huh?'

Aisha felt her body set free.

She finally seemed to think Alexander was ignorant of her. But that wasn't true.

"Your Majesty! I have something to tell you urgently."

He was the Emperor's secretary.

He was hurriedly running when he realized that Alexander and Aisha were alone, and he was startled.

However, Alexander greeted him with a casual attitude as if nothing had happened.

"What's going on?"

"It is about the schedule of Her Majesty the Empress."

"I already know everything about her schedule for today. Any additional problems?"

"Yeah, that's…."

When the secretary noticed Aisha's gaze, Alexander allowed him to whisper to him.

"The Duke Schwarzkopf came to the Empress palace without an invitation. Currently, all the maids are busy, and the two are alone privately."

"Really?"

When he heard the word Duke Schwarzkopf, Aisha was the first to raise suspicion in Alexander's mind.

'Is this also the Queen's work?'

He threw a doubtful gaze at Aisha, but she seemed to really not know anything. It was easy for him to know that she was not acting.

'It's more suspicious if it's not the Queen's trick.'

What is the reason why the Duke, the most touchy-catcher of the Queen, should be alone with Robelia while all the maids are away?

And above all else, aside from drinking and the talking... I just didn't like it.

Just thinking that the two were sitting in one room alone did not make me feel upset and rational.

There was nothing more to think about.

Without saying a word, he turned around following the secretary's guidance.

Without leaving a single word or even a single gaze to Aisha.

And when Alexander and the secretary reached their destination.

There was no need to knock on the door. They were outside the drawing room door.

It looked like he had already finished the conversation and plan to leave.

But it didn't matter now. The Duke was kneeling in front of Robelia and kissing the back of her hand!

Robelia, of course, and all the nearby maids were astonished, but those things did not catch the eye of Alexander.

"Something very surprising is happening in my palace, Duke Schwarzkopf, in the northern part of the country, it must be a trend to kiss someone else's wife with knees down, right?"

As he spoke in a thorny tone, those present recognized his presence.

"Your, Your Majesty...!"

The maids bowed their heads as if they had committed a crime, and Robelia bit her lip, but greeted him with a clean posture.

However, as soon as he greeted him according to the etiquette, these were the words he brought out.

"In the capital, I learned that it is not strange at all for married people to have an affair."

The maids, Secretary and even Robelia took a deep breath.

It was like an official announcement. It was as if the Duke had told the Empress that he had a crush on her.

Even in front of the Empress's legal Husband!

For a moment, Alexander felt something inside him cut off.

"Surely capital culture is a trend to pursue freewheeling social life and to have the government in its hands, even if it is a married woman. But it's just an informal trend. Declaring them in front of their spouses would be like cutting corners with reservation."

"In the imperial palace, where it is the official law to bring in another spouse beside your wife?"

"I didn't know that Duke Schwarzkopf, who is famous for his decency, would come out like this. But if I could give you one piece of advice, you'd better be a little more careful. Since accepting one's own honor is often an act that tarnishes the honor of a friend."

Since no one in the capital knew that Aisha was the only friend of the Duke Schwarzkopf, Alexander's words pointed to his relationship with Aisha.

What are you doing here because it's simply your best friend? No one was here who could not read the meaning of 'It is clear that he had a different intention, seeing that he suddenly approached the Empress, who is a close aid of the Queen.'

Norman's face grew serious at his words.

"I will not deny the existence of an old friend of mine."

He said in a serious manner.

"But now I am approaching the Empress with sincerity. She is my benefactor. How dare I have a heart to harm the benefactor."

"That's another piece of information. What kind of favor has my Empress done to you?"

"It's a private matter. Your Highness, I have no obligation to tell you the truth. And also..."

"And what else?"

"I understand that in the first place, His Majesty the Emperor did not provide valuable treatment for His Empress. That's also for three years. Don't you know that the act of your Majesty trying to claimed ownership of her spouse now is ridiculous?"

"Watch out Duke! Do you know that those remarks are now considered blasphemy?"

The secretary intervened with a sling around his neck, but Alexander raised his hand to stop him.

"You don't know that the more you intervene, the more ridiculous my chisel gets. Be considerate of yourself."

"I'm sorry. I'll fix it."

Alexander looked at his opponent with a cold face that had thrown off his mask.

The Duke did not avoid the gaze. He looked at Alexander with a straight, cold gaze.

"It's good to go back today, Duke."

Alexander said as if chewing.

The Duke obeyed his words.

"I'm sorry for coming without an appointment. Your Highness, I will communicate with you later."

"Ah… Well… Yes. All right."

"Okay then"

The Duke left Robelia and Alexander, both of them respectful.

After a brief but stormy situation, the maids couldn't keep their mouths shut.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this?"

"Then it's a love triangle?"

To the maids who whispered to each other like that, the secretary warned them with stern eyes.

Meanwhile, Caleb almost lost his hair because he was thinking.

'Damn it, it's hard with just one Emperor, but now he's a Duke... But you thought I would give up? Still, I am the closest thing to the Empress.'

After breaking the string and facing Robelia, Alexander felt a complicated feeling.

It was just a little while ago that I regretted hurting her.

In the end, he was the first to speak between the two who were facing each other awkwardly.

"….. Robelia."

Alexander said in a slightly easy voice.

"Yes."

Robelia answered reluctantly.

Alexander said with a heavy face.

"My baby... I'm sorry. Seriously."

"........"

Robelia didn't answer. She was just avoiding his gaze.

Her reaction was expected. If it was a wound that would disappear because he apologized, she wouldn't have reacted that way.

'There are more words I want to convey to you than these full words, Robelia.'

Alexander thought to himself.

I just wish she wouldn't leave.

I want you to be in my own decision.

Please, I want you to remain my wife.

I'm going to do anything.....

But there were too many eyes around him to say such a thing, and his pride didn't allow it yet.

So he just picked up those words and kept them inside.

But Robelia had a completely different idea.

'Wait, come to think of it..... I was so embarrassed earlier that I didn't think about it, but I think I found it. A perfect person to be my helper.'

I could feel the adrenaline rushing through my bloodstream just by thinking of my mouth tightening and my heart racing and running away.

'It's exactly no other than Norman Schwarzkopf! A man of tremendous wealth and power, and an outsider of the palace! Moreover, He has a rugged Northern territory, so it's perfect to hide from Alexander's army. Even though he's such an amazing person, he has a motivation to help me!'

He obviously seemed to have a crush on her. If I want to run away from my annoying husband, He will definitely help me out.

'But…. Even so, I don't really want to run away because he like me, but if I want to get his help in a situation like this, I'm just playing with someone else's situation. No matter how much I want to get a divorce, that kind of thing is a little.....'

However... to give up easily, this was a life at stake.

'My life or courtesy to Norman? Oh, this must be crazy.'
