Honey, Why Can’t We Get a Divorce?

not greet her because they did not recognize her and hung them on the gate.
Also, in the past, there was a time when someone’s family was destroyed by accident because he accidentally bumped into her while she was in disguise.
However, Ophelia did not know of this at all and therefore didn’t understand Ilbert’s infinite appreciation.

 

“Thank you so much! Thank you!”

 

‘What is this… Does he like being punished—?’

 

******

 

I roughly passed Ilbert to the guards and told them to take him to the capital’s guards so that he would get a reasonable punishment.
It didn’t matter anyway, the real problem was how people looked at me with sparkling eyes.

 

They saw.
They saw me. 

 

“Everyone, listen up,” I clapped my hands and caught their attention, “What happened today should be kept quiet.”

 

Upon hearing that, everyone expressed their surprise.

 

“But Madam, you just saved a person!”

 

“Yes! You took a risk to save Theo!”

 

“If it wasn’t for Madam, Theo would have been dead!”

 

“Stop, stop,” I calmed them down, “It’s still a no.
Nobody can know what happened today.” Frankly speaking, I would have liked for the rumors of my neighborhood visit to spread, which would show my good deeds, but I had the Crown Prince’s prohibition.
I’d be in big trouble if I got caught violating his direct orders.
That’s why I had to hide it no matter what.
“If anyone spreads the events of today…” I pretended to cut my neck with my hands and people stepped back, swallowing their breath. 

 

Everyone nodded.

 

“I-I understand!”

 

“Ssh, ssh!”

 

“Good,” I said to the people around me, singing joy inside, “Will you please tell Theo again not to forget tomorrow’s appointment?”

 

“Yes! I’ll be responsible for the delivery of the message!”

 

“Okay,” The situation seemed to have settled down.
“I hope the child is safe,” I mumbled with a sigh.
‘Swordmaster of the future, please don’t get hurt,’ was what I meant.

 

“Oh, Madam…”

 

“You worry about people like us.”

 

“Madam!”

 

They looked at me strangely despite my ulterior motives.
I felt unfair and wanted to shout.

 

******

 

I returned to the castle exhausted.
I wanted to go into my room right away and rest, but as soon as I entered, someone welcomed me—Sylvester.
“A round of applause for Ophelia Ryzen, who was caught by the crowd as soon as she left!”

 

Clap, clap, clap clap!

 

The servants looked at each other with nervous smiles, only Sylvester was clapping excitedly.
This was a ridiculous situation.
“Are you copying me?”

 

“That’s right,” Sylvester rolled his eyes, “It’s amazing and a bit annoying.
How can you get caught in just one day?”

 

“You think I wanted to get caught?” I asked back.
Sylvester shrugged his shoulders.

 

“I heard you saved a boy?” He must have heard the story from the guard.

 

I nodded, “It appears so.”

 

“Why?” Sylvester asked as if he was really curious.

 

I replied, narrowing my eyes, “Why, you ask? The child I saved today is the one I told you about.
The one with incredible potential to become a great swordsman.”

 

Sylvester pulled back and let out a low snort, “So you didn’t do it out of good faith, did you?”

 

“I don’t risk my life in good faith.” My life is too precious, I shook my head with my arms wrapped around my body.

 

The corners of Sylvester’s lips raised, “If it had been done in good faith, I would have been greatly disappointed in you.”

 

“What?”

 

“As expected, you…”

 

“Huh?”

 

“You’re my wife.”

 

He always said that.
It made me want to dissect the inside of his head more.

 

******

 

I washed my body clean after rolling in a dust pit all day.
When I came out of the bathroom, I found a letter on my desk. ‘Who is this?’ I looked at the sender.

 

“Callian?”

 

My mouth went dry and I slowly opened the letter.
The content was simple.

 

[Do you think I’m a f*cking joke?]
