I'm Divorcing My Tyrant Husband

It was a surprise even for Alexander.

At first glance, it seems like she is doing something haphazard, but in the end, each of those actions was calculated, so it was his impression of her that she always looked like she had no place for a seat or empty.

By the way, perhaps Robelia is resting on a shawl and dozing off on the tableware. I can't believe she's so clumsy.

'I understand how tired you were.'

Looking at her like that, he couldn't help the laughter that leaked out.

Alexander looked only at her sleeping face and trimmed Robelia's hair, which was about to fall into a plate. And after cleaning the tableware, he carefully raised her to the bed.

Still unable to move his feet, he watched Robelia's sleeping face for a long time.

It was a time when we didn't even have to talk to each other, but in the end, the time came when we had to leave.

"Have a nice dream."

Mumbling softly, Alexander placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

The next morning.

It was the day when the event began in earnest. Perhaps the sky helped, but the sky was hit refreshingly and a cool wind blew. It was a weather that seemed to have collected only the best parts of early summer.

It was followed by a short speech by Alexander, the organizer of the event, to congratulate the start of the event. Although Alexander said he would do all the difficult work, I too had to show my face.

"Aww!"

I heard a roar of cheers from somewhere, and I was taken aback.

Looking towards the source of the sound, I saw young teenage girls with their eyes shining brightly.

'Alexander is popular. After all, he looked handsome no matter who he was.'

Thinking that much, I soon continued the work. I thought it had nothing to do with me.

After Alexander gave a speech, the first polo competition began. .

Stables led muscular horses from the stable, and it seemed that there would be hundreds of them.

The contents of this order were that men played polo on horseback, and women watched while enjoying refreshments on the lawn.

"It's called a competition, but the purpose is to promote friendship, so don't overdo it. It's the same even if the ladies are watching."

People around him burst into laughter at Alexander's joke. He was also one of the participants in the competition.

When I saw the lawn, the lady had already gathered around three or three close friends.

'I don't have close friends, so I won't be alone with the maids.'

But now, I wasn't the one to care about that.

If I have been a person who cared about other people's gaze in the first place, I wouldn't have grabbed an outlet for a villain.

By the way.... As soon as the seat was laid, something unexpected happened.

"Her Majesty the Empress, how are you? Will I be able to get the honor of not being in the same seat as Her Majesty?"

"Hello, if you don't mind, can I join you?"

The young lady I had never met for the first time flocked to me and asked me this question.

Now I see, those teenagers from before.

I couldn't quite understand this situation.

'Why the hell did I become so popular? And for these little ones?'

"Well, before that, where are you guys from?"

"The introduction is late. I'm Marilyn, the second daughter of Orléon's family."

"I am Anna, the eldest daughter of Baron Harris. I always read about Her Majesty in the newspapers."

Hearing the name still makes me happy. There was no way for me to have any contact with these young lady, who had hardly socialized.

It may seem rude to say this now, but I'm not shy, but I tend to stay low-key from strangers.

I was a little reluctant to put people I didn't know in my seat, as I had planned to spend time with the maids.

"You may have seen me, but I'm seeing you for the first time today."

"Ah...."

"As expected, we'll be in trouble..... We've caused you trouble. Please forgive us."

But it was even more difficult to see these young lady disappointed.

They were young lady who had their eyes full of anticipation like that, and when I saw them bowing their heads and hanging their shoulders in response to my rejection, I felt like I had done something I couldn't have done.

Maybe I wasn't the only one who felt that way, so the maids came to me and whispered.

"Your Highness, there are a few more seats at the pond. I think a few of them will be fine."

"That's right. They seem to have high expectations, and I feel so bad for them."

"Ummm... "

Finally, I nodded my head.

"Okay, then let's allow them to join together this time."

"Yes! Are you sure?"

"Thank you so much. Her Majesty!"

In an instant, the sparkles returned to their eyes. Perhaps the they were worried that I might change my mind, but the young lady hurriedly unpacked near the pond.

"This basket is mine. Don't move!"

"Oh, my. That's my seat!"

"You shouldn't cut in line".

Due to the crowd of young lady, my seat was filled in an instant. Even if the maids moved away, and were out of their seats.

"I think it's better to connect the seats as if they were. One on this side and the other on that side...…."

At the advice of my maid, Irene, the young ladies joined me in their seats, and in three hours I was surrounded by about twenty young ladies.

'What the hell is this? I think I became a school teacher.'

The young ladies shyly approached me and talked to me since I couldn't understand the situation.

"Her Majesty, this is a cucumber sandwich that I made while thinking of Her Majesty. Can you give me advice after eating it?"

"I've baked some canisters. I think it turned out the best I've ever made. Would you like to try it?"

I ate the snacks given by these young ladies. When you don't know what to talk about, the best way to deal with it is to eat it.

Of course, it was delicious.

"You don't know how depressing it is to finally meet her in real life like this after only seeing her in the newspapers. It's feel like it's going to kill me."

"I will never forget this day for the rest of my life."

"I'm going to record today on the calendar and make it an anniversary."

I was really embarrassed because I didn't know why they were doing this, but their kindness and interest seemed to be sincere.

"Therefore… You mean, you girls read articles about me?"

"Yes! I've read all the articles about Her Majesty's activities! From punishing slave merchants, defeating the corrupt marquis, leading the salon to success, or establishing a foundation under anonymous sponsorship...…. Everything!"

"I scrambled all articles about Her Majesty. I am collecting articles about the incident and articles about fashion. They are my precious treasures."

Only then did I understand a little.

All the new things I did to get a divorce, these girls... They seemed to think that it was a job for justice, something that a very good and dignified Empress would do.

'But I didn't do those things with good intentions. Besides, Alexander's actions and exaggerations seem to be mixed.'

Anyway, I didn't want them to see me in a good way, but I was embarrassed because I felt like I was swindling innocent young ladies .

"Well, I think the you girls misunderstand me, but I'm not as good a person as the you guys think. It is far from a particularly desirable and exemplary Empress."

"I can't! Her Majesty the Empress is our idol."

"I really want to meet Her Majesty the Empress."

Somehow, the déjà vu slowed down. I think I've definitely had this kind of conversation with other people before.

Whether it's maids or slaves...…

'It's going to be counterproductive no matter what I say, right?'

It was then.

"The only moon of the Empire, the Empress is Her Majesty."

Unlike the informal etiquette that the young ladies did earlier, there were people who greeted me with a formal formal etiquette.

The woman was a lady in her 50s, and she stood in front of me with her back to the sun and cast a long shadow in front of me.

"Who are you?"

"This is Liliana of Earl Hearst. Her Majesty. When Her Majesty was still a young girl, I was in charge of teaching etiquette for two years."

Just as she claimed to have been Robelia's etiquette teacher, she had the impression of being very strict. She was slender and tall, her cheekbones stood out, and there was no smile on her face.

"I'm sorry to say this, but I'm standing here to offer my advice based on past relationships."

"On this fine day, you say? Let's hear what you're talking about."

"It's not any different, but it's not good to see Her Majesty, the mother of the Empires, sitting with such young ladies. Look around. The ladies are outraged."

Hearing that, I finally raised my surroundings in a single glance.

Perhaps the Countess Hearst's words were not empty words, I could see the ladies, especially the older ladies, looking at this place, chattering with displeasure.

The young ladies seemed to have realized that fact only then. They looked at each other with anxious eyes.

And above all, I got rid of my wits. They seemed to be genuinely worried about me being looked down on because of them.

Seeing that, I couldn't help but twist the corners of my mouth and speak up.

"So, what you're saying is that the way I am with young ladies is demeaning and degrading?"

"Yes, that's right. Don't be with these young ladies, come over here and have a seat with the wives instead. That's the way for Her Majesty's honor, and even more for the imperial honor."

As the countess spoke sternly, the faces of the young ladies became contemplative.

"Your Majesty. I'm really sorry. We didn't even know about it and didn't notice….."

"I don't want to put pressure on your Majesty."

They hurriedly picked themselves up, racking up their luggage. I raised one arm to block their movement.

'After all, I don't need a divorce because I'm a villain now, and the weather is nice, but I didn't want to fight for nothing….. This can't be helped. I'm so glad that my character is crazy.'

With that in mind, I slowly got up from my seat. I wasn't as tall as Countess Hearst, but I was also tall.

"If the honor of the imperial family is weak enough to be ruined just because I'm hanging out with young ladies, isn't it okay to just destroy it?"

"Her Majesty!"

"Both wives and ladies are my people, but to turn a blind eye to these young ladies who are approaching, is that what a person in the position of the great Empress should do?"

"Her Majesty, please mind your words!"

"Be careful with what you say in front of me, Countess Hearst, whoever it is, young lady, noble lady, or whoever you are, I'll be the one decide who I'm going to hang out with."
