Honey, Why Can’t We Get a Divorce? Chapter 13

I was dazed for a mont, embarrassed that I didnt think things through. Right, what made think Callian would let in?

Ah, my head.'

I grabbed my throbbing forehead and turned to the servant, "Then at least give him this," I took the letter of the forr Empress and handed it over, "If he sees this, hell grant permission." The servant looked at suspiciously and carefully examined the letter. It looked like he was inspecting it for poisonwell, if I wanted to poison him, I wouldnt have done it this way.

That's so an.'

Although I didnt mind since the letter I held in my hands contained words the Crown Prince wouldnt be able to read without tears in his eyes, so I was sure hed let in soon. I nodded gently when the servant asked to wait.

Soon, I realised an hour has passed by and the servant still had not appeared from inside the room, leaving to wonder by myself outside, "Why isnt he coming out?" My legs were starting to hurt from all the waiting, so I tapped my heels on the floor and punched my calf until a voice speak up.

"I apologise for making you wait." The servant appeared! After an hour! I tidied up my dress with pleasure, making sure I looked presentable for the the Crown Prince.

"Will you show to the drawing room?"

"I'm sorry, but you're not allowed in."

"What?" I said with surprise. The servant bowed his head, showing so signs of embarrassnt. "Why? Did you not deliver the letter to his Highness?"

"I did."

"Did his Highness see the letter?"

"Yes, his Highness saw the letter."

Well, that was strange. He saw the letter and yet he still refused to let in?

I feel sick.

"I will relay exactly what his Highness said." The servant bowed his head at and I answered with a squint.

"Yeah, tell ."

The servant took a deep breath and uttered two words, "Get lost."

******

I trudged my way to the carriage. Maybe Callian really despised ; I couldnt believe he refused even after I gave him the forr Empresss letter! "Get lost, you said? Say it to my face!" I shook my head hard, "No matter how much you hate , you should still know how to express gratitude, no?"

Crazy b*stard.

"It shouldnt have been like this!" I slapped my forehead. It was my idea to try and solve my relationship with the crown prince through a letter and yet it turned out to be a huge failure.With no backup plan in mind, I was utterly confused on what to do. "Should I build a nursery and have them know I've changed?"

But will Callian acknowledge through that?

Ah, I don't know!

"Callian, you b*stard!" I took a step back while cursing to Callian, but then I noticed a woman not far away from where I was standing. She greeted quickly as soon as she saw .

Who is that? I squinted and approached the woman. Oh my.'

The woman I saw up close was beyond beautifulsoft silky blonde hair, glistening as if i it had been doused in gold powder; round, lovely, pink eyes beautifully adorned with deep double eyelids; a sharp, high nose; and pink tinted lips. Not to ntion her beautiful clear skin that contrasted with the blush staining her cheeks.

Only one woman in this world possessed beauty as great as the woman in front of herFleur William.

"The female lead" I muttered with my mouth half open.

Fleur tilted her head to one side and opened her eyes wide, "Pardon?" Even her actions were beautiful, to the point where it made frown unconsciously from how dazzling the sight was.

"D-Did I do sothing wrong, ma'am?" Fleur hurriedly put her hands together. I could see the fearful expression on her face and I shook my head in a hurry.

"No, the sunlight was just hurting my eyes, I put my hands up to my face chanically and only then did Fleur relax a little.

I looked at her and exhaled as long as I could so that I wouldn't get caught. I was very nervous, too. In the past, Ophelia tornted Fleur which was one of the reasons why she was so hated by Callian, leading up to her execution.

I shouldnt that.'

I didnt want such a future. I wanted to survive.

With that in mind, I knew I shouldnt ss with Fleur.

I have to look good.'

I wasnt ordered to stay away from Fleur anyway. Originally, I didnt even say hello, but Fleur talked to first, so I thought it was okay. I greeted her with the sweetest smile I could procure, "It's been a while since I saw you. How have you been?"

"Yes, thanks to the Madam I'm doing well. How about Madam?"

"I'm doing well too, thanks to you."

"Thank you for saying that. You're always so sweet."

Even though she must have been harassed by Ophelia countless of tis, she still managed to be so eloquent, she really is the perfect heroine.

"But may I ask where you ca from?" Fleur asked carefully.

I answered casually, "I asked the Crown Prince for an audience, but he refused, so I was on my way back to my carriage."

"Ah" I could see the corners of her lips rise up ever so slightly. Was it an illusion or did it seem like she laughed at ?

"No way, that can't be true." Fleur was said to be the nicest person in the world. No matter the evil Ophelia committed, Fleur always tried to forgive her at the end. There was no way.

I felt sorry for doubting Fleur for a mont, so I softened my expression. Fleur stared at . "I was on my way to see his Highness. When I see him, I'll tell him I t the madam, Fleur said with a smile.

Huh, what's this weird feeling?

******

On the way back ho, I couldn't shake off that odd feeling the whole ti.

I was on my way to see his Highness.

Didn't I just say I was rejected when I went to see Callian? If you knew how much Ophelia liked Callian, wasnt it rude to say that? So why would she say that?

When I see his Highness, I'll tell him I t the madam.

Of course you knew of my relationship with Callian, so, again, why would you say that?

"It's weird, I muttered, crossing my arms, "maybe Im reading too much into it.

Crazy, you never noticed it?' It felt strangely like thatlike she was trying to screw around with . "No way, are you?" But Fleur was the heroine, I couldnt imagine her doing anything bad.

Maybe I was just in a bad mood?

"That's possible. Fleur could really have just said it as it was; there are lots of people who talk like that without any bad intentions, which may be the case with Fleur. She was the main character of the novel! She was the heroine who would always say It's okay, Im glad I was able to help, Forgive and anything the typical nice person woul say. There were even dozens of tis when I cursed at her while reading the novel, despising how much of a pushover she was, therefore, I could not doubt Fleur's character.

"I'll know more when we et again later, I muttered and looked out the window, already seeing the mansion of the Duke of RyzenI've arrived.

I left a ssage to Sylvester, saying I was going to et Callian.

[I'll lt his Highness the Crown Prince's heart.

Are you nervous?

If you are, prepare the money!]

Why did I write it like that? I would never have left a ssage if I knew how he would just leave standing outside only to tell , not even through his own mouth, to get lost. I was so proud of myself, but all I can feel at this mont was my face burning in sha.

What should I say to Sylvester?

I stepped over the open carriage door, pondering over what to say to him, but the more I thought of it the more I felt like just avoiding him entirely. Should I just stay in my room and pretend I'm sick

And then I noticed sothing strangeSylvester was outside waiting for ! He wore a white coat, and despite the fact that the snowstorm that plagued the country has stopped, looking at him felt like I just travelled back in ti to that snowstorm; he was so cold and I was so scared. I was sure he waited for after seeing my ssage.

Badump, badump.

I approached Sylvester calmly, "Why are you"

"Why are you so late?"

Huh? I looked down.

"What the hell have you been doing today?"
