I'm Divorcing My Tyrant Husband

Chapter 61 - I’ll Abolish the Empress and Appoint a Saint in her place.

Even his facial expression he thought he was good at was useless at that moment. It was only for a moment, Caleb's face was crumpled.

'What the is Emperor is trying to do to His Majesty. Should I spy? Or make a fuss or get in their way...…'

That was the moment.

The door swung open, and a man appeared from inside.

It was Alexander. He was about to step aside to stabilize Robelia.

"Then see you next time."

Having said that with a friendly face towards Robelia, he turned his head and looked out at the door.

It was then. The two men's eyes met each other.

Alexander's expression, which was as soft as velvet, quickly changed to another person. As soon as he faced Caleb, the cold air was hidden in his eyes that would freeze even the Imperial Knights.

Although he was momentarily moved, Caleb was not behind him either.

"I see the sun that never sets."

The moment they competed in their eyes, the two were not like slave or Emperor. It was two men who loved the same woman at the same time.

"........"

Alexander glanced at the polite Caleb.

He said to the secretary who was waiting in the hallway.

"Having met the Empress, there is nothing more to see here. Let's go."

It was an expression of blatant disregard.

The maids took Alexander's attitude for granted and even seemed to like it, but Caleb didn't.

He lowered his back and bit his teeth until there was a crackling sound.

'Yeah, let's take it easy now. In the end, it will be me who will be chosen by Her Majesty the Empress.'

He had a dignified face, but his insides were quite complicated.

'I'm also concerned about the conversation between Robelia and the Duke.'

I forgot for a moment whether Robelia was injured or not, but that was the reason why he came to her.

'What kind of feelings does Robelia have for the Duke?'

Just thinking about it made my heart swell and suffocate. He felt as if he had swallowed a heavy stone.

Alexander couldn't shake the feeling that he was falling behind the Duke Schwarzkopf.

I didn't mean to look strategically lagging behind, but I felt like I was really falling behind. His stomach was twisted that he did not have only confidence in Robelia's favor.

'But I can't stay still like this.'

Thinking so, Alexander was silent.

"Secretary, investigate the behavior of the Duke Norman Schwarzkopf. In particular, Especially focus on his contact point with the Empress"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The secretary answered, and Alexander fell into thought again.

'After all, I can't give up on Robelia, so even if I pay a price, I will definitely make her choose me.'

To do that, I needed more information and more planning. In his head, tricks that no one could have imagined started running tight.

"How's the Queen condition?"

At the maid's words, another maid shook her head with a worried face.

"She doesn't want to get out of her room. She eats very little....."

"She must have been really heartbroken over the last time."

a tightly closed door It was rarely held even by Aisha's closest maids.

Only three meals a day, meals prepared by maids, were allowed to enter.

Last time, Aisha's piano concert, which she prepared with all her might, was ruined by someone's trick.

Negotiations were published in the newspaper, whether they were true or false rumors about Aisha. These days, people talking about Aisha whenever they meet.

In the meantime, talks with Caleb and Alexander failed to produce a proper outcome.

Although Alexander punished her for self-restraint, there was no need for it. Because Aisha didn't even want to leave the room, let alone leave the palace.

It seemed that she had given up on everything.

The maids sigh with sad face.

"She must be very disappointed, but she still have to get out of the room."

"There are a lot of people who miss Her Highness's Queen too."

"It's the same with me too."

Meanwhile, the maids' conversation could be heard through the door.

Aisha, curled up on the bed, thought as she listened to their conversation.

'I've been humiliated like this, but what the hell should I do?'

Her white hand, holding the blanket sheet tightly, gained strength. There was a big wrinkle on the sheet under the trembling fist.

'Where the hell is someone who misses me? Everyone is cursing and laughing at me!'

Aisha wasn't locked up in her room from the beginning. There were times when she even left her room to try to talk to Caleb or Alexander.

Then one day, Aisha caught up with the conversation the courtiers were having.

'Did you hear rumors that Her Majesty, the Queen tried to manipulate public opinion about Empress?'

'I was going to say that, too, but I thought Her Highness was a very innocent and lovely person, but I guess it was all fake.'

'Well, I've always been suspicious. I didn't like her eyes.'

'Well, there are some women like that, who are very kind in front of men, but peel pumpkin seeds from behind…..'

When I heard the conversation, I couldn't even proudly get angry or punish them.

Aisha knew that they had a status insignificant compared to hers, but nevertheless she could not stand before them.

No matter who the opponent was, I was too afraid to stand in front of people.

'Everyone is on the Empress's side, and I was all fooled by that woman. There is no one on my side anymore.'

Aisha brought her finger to her mouth. She had already bitten her nails so much that they didn't remain stained with her blood, to bite them once again.

It was then.

[Saint, can you hear me?]

"Who, who are you?"

Aisha almost jumped from the bed.

This sensuous voice came from none other than her ċhėst.

Only then did she realize the identity of this voice, and she took something out of her clothes.

It was a very small pendant necklace.

Pearls were shining from the pendant in the form of a pure white bead, a divine light that could not be described in words.

[Saint, it's me. Can you hear me?]

"Yes, yes... High priest, I, I'm here."

Aisha's voice trembled. She hid in the room for days, she was locked and she didn't say anything. So her god like voice got all messed up.

"Uh, what's going on? Contact me so suddenly...… "

[Fortunately, I thought that the Holy Spirit Stone was broken because I rarely received calls. Your voice is really nice to hear. It is like the song of a bird of paradise that only lives on the Buren Mountain continent.]

"Ah, I…. that, Khom! I, I am doing well, High priest. I'm sorry that I seem to have worried you."

Aisha's face as she spoke to the necklace looked terrified and unstable.

However, the person who communicated through the necklace did not seem to be aware of her condition.

[How are you? Is that true?]

"Yeah, really! Hugh, His Majesty the Emperor really cares about me. Everyone seems to really cherish me. They say maybe I'll be the Empress soon. After pushing her away."

[........]

The high priest was silent for a moment. That silence stimulated Aisha's fear.

After a while he said.

[It is the supreme sin for a saint to speak a lie, saint. You probably don't know that.]

That unbelievably cold voice.

She was so scared that her teeth were cracking hard. Aisha managed to control her dėsɨrė to cry.

"High priest, I'm really, really sorry… I, I did my best. I follow the command of that high-ranking officer...."

[No excuses needed.]

The high priest said in a cold voice.

[Actually, I contacted you to tell you this. I am on my way to the Empire.]

"Yes? What?!"

[We have roughly grasped the saint's whereabouts in the Empire.]

Despair appeared on Aisha's face for a moment at the high priest's words. However, the high priest's words did not end there.

[As an ȧssociate of the saint, I will stay in the imperial palace treated as a VIP. And I will help the saint with the sincerity. I will devour that foolish woman and put a righteous woman in her place. It's the saint.]

"Really… . Is that really possible? Really?"

[Of course. Because that is the will of God.]

The high priest said without any hesitation.

Tears welled up in Aisha's big eyes.

"Sir, I will really trust you. I will obey whatever the High Priest says. I'll do anything, really."

She whispered desperately to the necklace.

After Aisha fell into despair, he was the first person to show her hope. Aisha had no choice but to hold onto the rope.

In contrast to Aisha's passionate and desperate tone, the high priest answered in a cold voice.

[That must be the truth without lies. No matter how hard my job is to fulfill God's will, it's not worth it if the saint doesn't work hard.]

"Of course! Please believe me one last time, High Priest."

[Whoa, that's good. But, did you say you would do anything? There's a price to pay to get things back you've ruined.]

"Pay… you say?"

Aisha asked back.

From the pendant of the necklace, extremely weak and cunning words like snakes flowed out.

[You have to sign another contract with me. Prove what you said you can do anything.]

*****

That day, I took a break to calm myself down with the strong insistence of Alexander, her maids, and Caleb.

'It's not like the luggage is running away, so it won't matter if I clean it up tomorrow.'

It was the next day after I rested with that thought.

"Your Majesty, something great has happened!"

"There is an article in the newspaper about Her Majesty!"

"What? Again?"
