I'm Divorcing My Tyrant Husband

Chapter 67 - Social Season

It was the moment Aisha was trying to answer something.

"However."

The High Priest said.

"No matter how much I help, it's meaningless if the person being helped is more incompetent than that."

"Then... "

"I have no choice but to sign another contract."

At the words of the High Priest, Aisha's face began to build again.

"If it's a contract...… What is the price?"

Noticing that her voice was trembling uncontrollably, the High Priest had a fishy smile on his face.

"It is the complete annihilation of the soul. 'That person' is always hungry."

"....."

When Aisha did not readily answer, the High Priest smiled with a relaxed expression on his face.

"You must be worried. I understand."

He approached Aisha's flowers as if seducing them. His beautiful lips gleamed and whispered words like a tiger.

"But, think about it. When you are alive, you will enjoy the highest power that a woman can have. And isn't that lower than being pushed by the Empress and going to God's will like this?"

The high priest's viper-like words shook Aisha's heart, and in the end she nodded her head.

"Okay. Instead… you must make me the Empress."

"There's no such thing as that."

Eventually, the two signed a contract. It didn't take too long.

After completing the contract, the high priest said to Aisha, who is not with a commanding face.

"You said the Empress knew about the other world. It's very suspicious." .

"Ha, but. I've done a really thorough investigation, and there's nothing that seems to be the cause of Robelia's knowledge of other worlds. I think it's also a coincidence that Robelia created other worldly cuisines."

Aisha urgently made excuses, fearing that she might be beaten again.

But her high priest only stroked her virtue with his light smile on his face.

"I think…. The Empress may also be a dimension-shifter from another world."

"Yes? But..…. I'm sure Robelia was born here, right?"

"However, what if there is a dimension-shifter born here?"

The High Priest was wondering why all of this was interesting. His eyes twinkled with interest, and his voice was a little excited.

"A person from a world with the same body but a different soul and dimension shifter from different world. In other words, what if 'the possessor' is her true identity? It's not difficult to explain why she suddenly had a personality and taste like everyone else."

"But…! There is no such thing, High Priest, you know! It has never been recorded in history, and if there was a dimension shifter, an oracle would have come down…."

"Of course, there has never been a record of 'possessed' in the history, but what's strange about that?"

The high priest's eyes, who said so, were strangely distinctive.....

"That beings like me and you are walking far away from the world."

The moment their eyes met, the moment she heard the devilish whisper, Aisha felt goosebumps all over her body.

******

The nobles who had been down to their territory gathered in the capital one after another.

'It's been a year already.'

Robelia, who was watching the early summer scenery outside her window, sighed.

'It was last summer that I first came here. When I first tried to get a divorce, I thought three months would be enough at most.... I didn't know I wouldn't be able to divorce for a year.'

It wasn't just that they couldn't get a divorce.

As the socializing season drew near, events large and small were held here and there in the capital.

Various opening ceremonies such as banks, museums, racetracks, etc., group launching ceremonies, ball of promising people, charity bazaar…... The list was almost endless.

The problem is that Alexander keeps dragging Robelia to such a place.

'I understand that he's the emperor, so he has to show his face at all kinds of events, but what is the point of bringing me around?'

As of now, Robelia rarely attends events that the Empress had to attend because of her divorce, but now she can't help it.

Because she had a light of heart that had lost to Alexander.

'Hurry up and this gleam is all pricey, and from then on, I'll really throw everything and play. I have to study foreign languages, and I have a lot to do for the future.'

It was in the meantime.

Robelia had an opportunity to pay all the gleam up to interest, all at once.

"As you know, it's customary for the imperial family to cut off the start of the social season."

Ahead of the official start of the socializing season, Alexander came to Robelia and made this request.

"I'm not asking you to help me prepare for the event, but I'd like you to attend the event together. I'm sure it will be a fun event for you as well."

From what I heard, it seemed to be a fairly large and time-consuming event.

'All right, then let's just attend this event and end the last consolation.'

"Sure. However, there are conditions."

That condition is.....

******

In the Castile Empire, the theme of the event that marks the beginning of the social season is Baffin every year.

For this year, the main theme was a party for 3 days and 2 nights in a separate palace named 'Topaz Palace' in the neighboring city.

It is to enjoy leisure activities such as playing with friends, sports competitions, picnics, hunting, and barbecue parties, centering on Topaz Palace, a star palace with a lake.

The beginning event of the imperial social season has always been popular, and nearly a third of the nobles living in the capital have also expressed their intention to attend this year.

Thousands of people flocked to the streets to watch the spectacle of thousands of nobles heading to the neighboring city.

The procession of large and small wagons, attendants and maids following them, maids and knights, rickshaw and kiln continued endlessly, entertaining people.

Finally, when most of the procession arrives at Topaz Palace.....

The village near Topaz Palace was bustling like never before.

"We sell fresh sandwiches, lunch boxes, and cold brew dishes!"

"This is the Torres Inn! We have a special room for our guests!"

Relatively promising nobles stayed in the rooms of Topaz Palace, but a larger number of nobles stayed in the villages.

The energetic young nobles left their dormitories as soon as they arrived and searched for each other to socialize...

Robelia simply didn't want to.

'The official schedule starts tomorrow anyway. I should take a good rest today to relieve my fatigue.'

That was when she was thinking about it.

"You have a visitor. Her Majesty."

At the words of the maid, Robelia thought it was Alexander in her heart.

But her expectations were shattered. The true identity of the guest was Norman.

"Welcome, Norman."

Robelia welcomed him, and Norman politely kissed the back of her hand.

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to contact you for a while. I've been busy with what you asked for before, so I didn't have time to contact you. I'm sorry."

"No, because I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I also thought it wouldn't be over soon."

The words were not a lie. Rather, Robelia felt grateful and sorry for Norman at the same time for entrusting him with the big task of fleeing abroad.

Maybe that's why, Robelia couldn't shake off her feeling even more sorry the moment she saw his face.

It felt like she had betrayed him.

'Is it because she was comforted by Alexander? But Norman is not my lover either.'

In order to shake off the feeling, she deliberately prepared a busier reception for the guest.

"Bring refreshments for the guests. Oh, yes. Chocolate from the Kingdom of Antian would be good."

"I am very grateful, but there are more things I want to do than enjoy refreshments in the room with Her Majesty the Empress."

"What is that?"

Robelia, who asked involuntarily, was surprised. Because Norman seemed a bit shy.

"I would like to visit the lake of Topaz Palace together. Will you allow me?"

*****

As a result, the two took a walk together along the lake attached to Topaz Palace.

A blue palace like a summer sky that goes well with the name Topaz Palace. And a huge lake in front of it, and a coniferous forest behind the palace.....

'Really, it's the perfect place to enjoy Barrance.'

She wasn't the only one who thought that way.

There were already sparsely seen aristocrats playing with their boats on the lake or playing with their friends.

Robelia, who was watching the scene while walking, muttered without realizing it.

"Youthful..."

Norman nodded his head with a serious look.

"You look at it a lot, it looks like you're in your late teens. That's a good age."

Norman's reaction to her needlessly and seriously taken was amusing, so Robelia burst into laughter.

The two of them chatted about small things as they strolled along the water shadow of Topaz Palace.

'Come to think of it, as soon as I met this person, I was only sharing the heavy story of escaping, or fleeing abroad, so this is the first time I've ever had such a light chatter.'

And after having the first trivial conversation with Norman, what Robelia realized was that he wasn't really talkative.

'It's natural to think about the background of his growth, when he didn't have a chance to develop social skills among others.'

Now that Robelia knew that his only friend was Aisha, it was easy to understand what he was doing.

But that didn't make boring conversations with him enjoyable.

'... It would have been comfortable if it was him.'

Yeah, I'm sure it is.

Robelia also had a lot of social experience, so it wasn't hard to have a conversation with Norman, but still, her ability to make conversations with 'that person' comfortable and enjoyable is incomparable to other people.

However, Robelia was immediately startled by her own thoughts.

'You must be crazy! What am I thinking now?'

Meanwhile, Robelia's maids and Caleb were following them.

"Don't you think those two look good together?"

"Yeah. Maybe it's because they're good men and women, but they get along surprisingly well."

"Still, the true love of Her Majesty the Empress is His Majesty, the Emperor."

Hearing the maids gossip with one ear and possessed to another, Caleb glanced at their backs.

He looked at the two seemingly friendly people...... His stomach twisted unpleasantly.
