Honey, Why Can’t We Get a Divorce?

Chapter 135

A sudden change of air swept past us.

I just blinked my eyes, holding my head still.

Tell me the truth.

Largo said.

What kind of person is inside this body?

I was determined to answer well here. So I pulled Largos hand out and backed away.

I dont know what youre talking about.

I deliberately looked Largo in the eye and said.

You know, Ive changed a lot.

You suddenly changed.

No, there was a sign. Your Highness just didnt know because you were gone.

Largos eyes widened. I didnt miss the opportunity. 

Isnt it too absurd to speculate that my soul would have changed just because I suddenly changed? 

Thats right. Largo is guessing right now. I was thinking that there must be other reasons because I dont fit in with his own thoughts. 

I lifted my chin and looking at Largo, who was a little embarrassed.

Youre going to bring this to the temple trial? Okay, go ahead. But if it turns out its not true, I wont stay still. I want you to know that. 

Y, you!

Well have to pretend we dont have a deal either.

I didnt miss this opportunity to say.

I dont want to be held by the back of my neck anymore.

Unlike me, who smiled brightly, Largos face was hardened. The same goes for Fleur, who is standing next to him. I looked at their faces, and tightened my strength around my eyes. 

I wont let it go about what happened today.

What happened today. 

Fleur and Largo had a secret meeting, and in the meantime, they threatened me.

Ophelia cant stand it. I was going to make this public somehow. 

You can look forward to it.

So I said with a smile again, and Largo and Fleurs faces turned white.

Oh, I feel refreshed.

I left the place, rubbing the back of my still sore neck.

******

Damn it.

Largo clenched his fist and spoke in a ferocious voice.

Fleur, who was standing next to him, looked nervous and bit her nails.

What if the Duchess says we were together?

Who are you talking to?

His Highness Crown Prince.

Do you still care about that bastard?

Largo spoke in a harsh tone, as if to show off his anger, and looked at Fleur.

Hes not an emperor anyway. Youre going to be thrown away! You dont have to worry about him!

B, but!

Her love for Callian was sincere in her own way, so she couldnt say that she was comfortable with betraying him. So she was so nervous.

Largo, on the other hand, was annoyed by Fleurs appearance.

What a stupid woman. Why is she sitting there while shes only going to see his face?

Largo had no intention of making Fleur the Empress after he became emperor. He was just saying that.

Isnt it natural? Who would put a woman from a commoner family, even a divorced woman, to sit as Empress? 

Callian was trying to do something stupid. But he never intended to do that.

Hell just use it and throw it away. Largo thought Fleur just that much.

It doesnt seem worth using.

Largo looked at Fleurs pale face and thought.

It doesnt matter whether she tell Callian or not. The victory will be mine anyway.

Largo said, clicked his tongue. And he proudly folded his arms.

Im going to bring Ophelia Ryzen to the temple trial.

But what if the soul hasnt changed?

It doesnt matter.

He twisted his lips.

Because I can make it look like its changed.

*******

Jasmine!

I waved at Jasmine waiting for me in the cafeteria. Jasmine quickly put down the teacup and welcomed me. 

Oh really, where have you been? Ive been waiting for a long time.

Jasmine whined at me. I smiled awkwardly and scratched my cheek.

Im sorry. I forgot something.

Well, it cant be helped. Thanks to you, I was enjoying my leisure time.

Im glad you did.

I breathed a sigh of relief and patted Jasmine on the shoulder.

And I slowly looked into her eyes.

By the way, Jasmine. Let me ask you something.

Yes, please tell me.

About temple trial.

I opened my mouth slowly.

What about that?

Literally I wasnt quite sure what a temple trial was.

Ive heard it many times before, when ladies gossip about it, and today, too, but in fact, I didnt know exactly what the temple trial meant. 

Thats why I asked, Jasmines expression changed strangely.

Whats wrong?

I wondered and looked away. Then Jasmine replied.

No. Youre asking something too obvious. Ah, you know everything, but youre asking to test me, right? Youre deliberately trying to confirm whether I know or not! 

It wasnt like that, but I felt like I had to say yes for now. So I nodded.

Yes, thats right. I asked if you knew, so answer me.

Jasmine lifted her shoulder with a sound of Them.

The temple trial is literally a trial. However, the difference is that the temple uses divine power to make a judgment. The divine power is used to examine whether evil spirits exist in the soul of the accused, and to determine whether the accused has acted wrong.

Using divine power to make a judgement. Then, of course, they could see that my soul was different.

Then what if that was true? What if there was an evil spirit?

Ah, then its simple.

Jasmine replied casually.

Its the death penalty.

Oh my. 

I buried my face in my hands, realizing that everything Largo said was right. 

What should I do?

It was difficult to find a corner to break through.

But its not something you should worry about, is it? Youve never done anything wrong.

Jasmine, who doesnt know what Im thinking, says this.

Haa. 

I sighed and lowered my hand.

Shall we go back now?

Yes?

I have a headache.

Oh, my. Are you okay?

Jasmine looked at me with a really worried face. I said with a frown, feeling more sorry.

Yes, Im sorry. I came out to feel better, but I couldnt.

Im fine. I hope Madam doesnt get sick.

Thank you for your concern.

In fact, it was a time when I had to worry about my neck being cut off rather than being sick.

I grabbed my forehead and left the cafeteria, and went straight home.

******

Honey!

As soon as I got home, I found Sylvester.

Sylvester, who was working in the office, glanced at me over his glasses.

Whats going on?

He took off his glasses and said.

I heard you went to the palace, why are you coming back so early?

I went to the palace and went out.

Then you should come back in the evening.

I came in first because I had something to do. Now, sit here.

At my words, Sylvester was puzzled, but calmly got up and walked over to the sofa where I was sitting. I opened my mouth as soon as he came. 

What I saw today is

Wait.

But Sylvester cut off my words. 

Did you go to the palace like that today?

Yes?

I looked down at my body and looked over my head.

Yeah. I did.

Did you meet the damn Callian?

We met by chance.

Sylvesters face crumpled up. Whats wrong with him? 

Why?

Sylvester clicked his tongue.

No, because youre so pretty. Im worried that damn Callian will fall in love with you again.

.

Oh my. 

I closed my mouth and blinked my eyes.

Whats wrong?

Sylvester tilted his head. I answered in a hurry.

I was shocked to hear you say that so casually.

I would say my wife is pretty when shes pretty, what else should I say?

Oh, goosebumps.

But I feel better.

I glanced at Sylvester as I struggled to lower the corners of my mouth. 

Anyways, what did you see today?

Ah, right. 

I had something to say.

I came to my senses in a hurry.

I saw the 2nd Prince and Countess Fleur together.

What?

The two of them were having secret conversations.

Sylvesters eyes narrowed.

There would be no reason for Largo to lure Fleur

No, there is.

I said firmly.

The medicine that Countess Fleur gave me. Thats what the 2nd Prince told her.

.

Sylvester clenched his fist instead of answering.

That bastard.

His eyes shone brightly.

Its definitely not going to work.

His head must be full of the imagination of killing Largo. I swallowed dry saliva, feeling a little creepy.

Yes. And

I brought up what I really wanted to say.

He wants to put me on trial. What should I do?
