Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Planning to Protect Wife
On the other hand, Claudia chatted with Larissa in the palace garden while walking casually. Claudia told everything about what she had experienced recently, starting from finding out Harry’s true identity, running away to San Marina, divorce, until Harry suddenly wanted to declare war. Larissa, who heard all the stories, had a gloomy expression on her face.
For a mont, Claudia’s footsteps stopped. She let out her tears while squatting slowly beside the flower bed of roses. "Actually, as long as I married Harry, I only wanted one thing. I didn’t want him to get hurt. Why does he always force himself to get involved in danger?"
Larissa also squatted down while hugging Claudia’s slender body. "Harry has always been determined to do things without thinking about the people closest to him. I’ve known him very well since we were little, he’s the type of man who always takes action to protect many people."
"What if Harry’s life is really threatened? I don’t want to lose everyone I love."
"You don’t need to worry too much. Harry will definitely be strong enough to face it. Even when he entered the military academy, I often heard reports that he often had gunshot wounds. However, he is still alive and well until now. That’s why, I’m sure he can win this war."
Larissa spontaneously led Claudia to sit on a park bench near them. Larissa gave Claudia her handkerchief.
"Actually, I know you two want a divorce. Harry told
everything first. Even though I scolded him, he was still stubborn about wanting a divorce to protect you. Even when you were divorced, Harry wanted
to protect you while he was away."
"But, why do you look like you don’t know anything?"
"Because I don’t feel worthy of listening to the story of your actual divorce. I tried to forget it, but I can’t. Moreover, you have been crazy about him for a long ti, I can’t bear the thought of you actually separating."
"This is the first ti I feel like my life is going downhill. Is the nightmare I had a few days ago a sign?"
"We’ll see what Harry actually plans to do. I’m sure he’s not a stupid man to do sothing without proper preparation."

After talking for a long ti at the castle, Harry held a eting with the couple Kyle and Clarissa at their residence. Harry was forced to tell his divorce problems to two of his best friends so that many people would help him while he was away at war.
"Are you crazy, Harry? You really want to divorce Claudia?!" Kyle snapped as he pounded the table.
"The only way I can protect her is to divorce her." Harry’s eyes were fixed on his wife who continued to lower her head.
Kyle scratched his head in annoyance. "You really have no conscience, Harry! Is it because your biological father was a rebel that you don’t deserve to be Claudia’s husband?"
"Actually, it’s not because of that. But, my father doesn’t want
to live happily with anyone. That’s why, all the incidents that happened recently, he wants to make Claudia’s life miserable because Claudia managed to make
happy."
"But, doesn’t Claudia mind?" Clarissa asked weakly as she watched her friend’s eyes beco increasingly teary.
"In fact, Claudia agrees that we divorce. She has even signed the divorce papers."
"Then, what problem do you want to address now?" Kyle asked.
"I want you to protect my wife while I’m away at war."
Kyle and Clarissa’s eyes widened. Especially Kyle, who was shocked until his mouth opened wide.
"You’re completely out of your mind now, Harry! How could you possibly want to declare war?! You’re not thinking about your wife?"
"In fact, I was thinking about my wife. That’s why I wanted to end everything quickly. If I continue to let my biological father go further, there will be more casualties."
Clarissa lowered her head and patted Claudia on the shoulder. "But, still, war is a serious matter."
"That’s why I want to ask for your help, Clarissa. Because you are Claudia’s closest female friend, I want you to stay by Claudia’s side while I’m not around." Harry’s eyes fell on Kyle, who still looked gloomy. "What’s wrong with your face?"
"I still can’t believe you really want war without thinking." Kyle exhaled deeply. "Even though it’s been a long ti since we competed on horseback, Harry."
Harry rolled his eyes. "You can still joke at a ti like this!"
"But, actually I miss hanging out with you on holidays. Now who else do I have to compete with every holiday?"
"You can compete against your girlfriend."
"Then, what about your wife’s personal life while you were living apart?"
"We must not communicate with each other in any way so that it seems as if we already hate each other. I have discussed this with her and she has agreed to it."
"But, if you look at Claudia’s gloomy face, I still doubt she really agrees with your crazy idea."
"No, Kyle. I agree with my husband’s crazy idea. In fact, I’m praying for him to win this war."
"Claudia..." Harry’s eyes lit up as his wife’s face lit up again.
"I trust you, Harry. I want you to win this war so that all the residents of the San Marina are safe."
*****
Since then, this ti Harry and the palace declares open war on all social dia. Harry deliberately did this to warn his biological father not to interfere with his life again. The residents of San Marina who read the news were imdiately in an uproar because they had worked so hard to protect their beautiful city, now it was about to be captured by a palace rebel who had been hiding for decades.
When he read this news all over social dia, Rudolf smiled sarcastically as he threw the glass on the floor.
"You want to fight ? Fine, I won’t be silent either."
