Honey, Why Can’t We Get a Divorce? Chapter 5

The Crown Prince and Sylvester didn't get along welleven more so than what was described in the book.

Sylvester, who supported the second prince, did not like the return of the prince, so he intervened in every way he could. However, the Prince was still gradually gaining support from the Emperor, so to Sylvester, he was an eyesore.

But then I appeared. I, who was crazily in love with the Crown Prince.

Crazy Ophelia.'

With my appearance, the princes position was jeopardised and the affair between him and the heroine ca to light, attracting the attention of high society. When the emperor ordered him to end his relationship with the heroine, the prince hated for being the catalyst of all his troubles, to the point where he wouldnt mind killing . Not only that, the heroine was constantly harassed by , which cented his hate for even further.

But thanks to my actions that weakened the princes power, Sylvester turned a blind eye to my obsession for the crown prince.

But, apparently, that alone was not enough.

Seduce the Crown Prince.

Turn him over to our side.

If you do that, I'll give you a divorce.

Was what he said.

When the Crown Prince falls for , Sylvester would try to destroy him using our relationship as an excuse. It was a situation where the outco would be obvious.

But I wanted to divorce you because in a fight between a shrimp and a whale [1], nobody would support the shrimp! The whale is obviously going to win'

I took a long breath, burying my face in my hands. Then Sylvester, who was sitting opposite of in the carriage, slowly lifted his head and said, "The floor will give out."

He folded the newspaper he was reading. "Why the hell are you sighing so much?"

Why? Isnt it clear?

"Im sighing because of you."

Sylvester lifted his shoulder to my answer. "What about ?"

"Because you won't divorce !" I adjusted my posture and leaned down toward Sylvester. "I can't. How am I supposed to seduce the Prince and make him co over to our side?"

"Are you trying to save face now?" Sylvester gave a ridiculous look and spat out a laugh. "Who was the one that hid behind the palaces bushes and chased after the Crown Prince?"

"I wonder who"

"Who grabbed the necks of the won that invited the Prince to tea parties?"

"It's , who else?"

"Who was the one who dared to wield a pocket knife to pluck out the eyes of the Prince?"

"Stop, I get it."

Aish

I guess Ive done all sorts of things. "That was then, now is now. I wont be able to do it anymore."

"Don't lie." I ant it from the bottom of my heart, but Sylvester didn't even listen to . "You didnt think Id know that you're going to chase after the Crown Prince the mont we divorce?"

I don't know? My heart is I don't know very well

"If you're going to chase after him, do it when you have the status of the Duchess of Ryzen, since itll be beneficial to ."

"What are you talking about?" I didn't understand Sylvester's words, so I asked.

"You know."

"What you know? No, I dont know."

Sylvester was a very tricky character, he is a figure who cleverly twists and turns through conversations. There's no way a person like this would say anything to .

I looked up at him slowly. "Are you trying to use ?"

Sylvester smiled instead of answering.

"You really want to use your one and only wife in your own sches? Well, what are you going to do?"

"I won't tell you. Its a secret"

"How petty."

I stared at Slyvester as hard as I could, but despite my burning gaze, he replied with a shrug. "How can you chase another man when you have this one and only husband? That's much worse." He refused to lose against .

"You really make speechless." I used the most sorrowful, most upset voice I could let out and muttered, putting my face in my hands. I really felt like ditching everything to run away, but I couldnt do that.

Cause if Sylvester and I don't get divorced, it would be hard living alone.'

This Empire was also very behind the tis, so there had to be a reason for won to live alone; divorced, bereaved, familys death before marriage, etc. If you live alone for no reason, you would definitely get caught and thrown into jail.

Does that even make any sense? It made sense. It was how this world works, so I had to get that divorce sohow and I knew it wouldnt have been easy.

My eyes darkened by the vague reality I was stuck in and I sighed again.

"You've changed."

It was Sylvester. I glanced up at him questioningly. "What?"

"Well." Sylvester eyed from head to toe as if he was observing , but strangely, I didnt feel too bad. In fact, I felt a bit bashful at the attention.

I jumped up in my seat seeing Sylvester reach out to . "Look, youre not even paying attention to your hair despite how ssy it is." His cold fingers tucked the hair behind my ear gently and my heart skipped a beat.

Badump

But

"Are you going for the crazy woman concept? Well, as long as you catch the Prince's eye, I guess."

You piece of sh

I dropped my head, ashad for actually feeling sothing from that interaction.

*******

Our destination was the Imperial Palace and attended the ball for the first ti in forever.

The Crown Prince will definitely attend.

Sylvesters words from before we stepped in echoed in my head.

You know what you have to do, right?

I don't know, you crazy b.

Instead of answering, I stared at him and inhaled. He went into the hall, leaving alone; there were a lot of people, but when I showed up, everyone kept their distance and made way for . I must have been well known as the crazy woman. Feeling the brunt of all the evil deeds Ophelia has done again, I slowly moved on.

There was no need to search for the Crown Prince. He stood at the center of the hall; platinum hair, dark gray eyes, toned body, commanding auraCallian Von Regenne. He was the Crown Prince.

"Ehem," I cleared my voice, preparing to greet Callian. But then.

Ah, eye contact.'

Callian's eyes were on , and instantly his face crumpled into that of disgust as if he just witnessed sothing dirty.

Excuse ? I don't like you either, I have preferences

How ridiculous, I mumbled.

Callian's lips twisted, "Just the face was enough."

? I pointed at myself and Callian frowned further.

He imdiately signalled for the guards. "Get rid of her."

I didn't even do anything?
