Chapter 241. I love you. I love you. I love you (2)
Translator: Aura / Editor: SaWarren
The next day.
As I walked quickly through the corridors, I saw all kinds of carriages driving away along the white road.
The distinguished guests who ca to the wedding were leaving one by one.
My parents would co once everyone left. They didn’t want to interact with Rashta or Sovieshu.
After watching the carriages drive away, I kept walking quickly.
I wanted to go to a quiet place to calm my troubled mind. What has been going on since yesterday?!
However, as I passed near the detached palace, I saw familiar black hair.
I stopped abruptly as if a hand had co out of the ground and grabbed my ankle.
It was Sovieshu.
He was standing near the detached palace where I had stayed for a long ti. Did he think I was still staying there? Or...?
At that mont, Sovieshu turned his head towards . When our eyes t, he imdiately approached .
He was wearing a more comfortable suit compared to the ones he wore at the wedding.
Well...Rashta was pregnant, so they would hardly stay for much longer.
He didn’t sll of alcohol. It seed that he hadn’t had any liquor today.
I addressed Sovieshu as if he were any other emperor of a foreign country.
“Your Majesty, are you leaving today?”
Instead of answering, Sovieshu’s expression twisted.
From his gaze, he seed to have a lot to say, but he remained quiet. In my case, I had nothing to say, so I didn’t speak either.
After staying like this for a while, I said finally,
“There is nothing to say, so I will leave.”
In the past I always tried to smile when I was beside Sovieshu in front of the gaze of others. The emperor and empress should look good together.
It was the sa when Sovieshu brought Rashta. So might say that I had no pride, but I still smiled beside Sovieshu.
Likewise, now she could not be quiet in front of Sovieshu because others might misunderstand the situation.
Although I would not reject the emperor of a powerful empire for no reason, I also did not want to create a sad and unpleasant atmosphere with my ex-husband.
However, Sovieshu called out to in a low voice.
“Navier.”
He was probably going to say sothing, otherwise he wouldn’t have called .
I stopped and stared at him with an expressionless face.
‘..Well alright, if he had sothing to say, go ahead...’
Fortunately, one of my strengths was to show a cool, calm, and indifferent expression.
After a long hesitation, Sovieshu ended up asking a question.
“Navier. Everyone... makes mistakes, right?”
What was his intention in saying this? Was he trying to say that he divorced by mistake?
I don’t think that’s what he ans. I hope not. Wouldn’t it be cruel if he almost ruined my life by mistake?
“My mistake was arrogantly planning everything on my own. I should have told you. I’m sorry I didn’t do that.”
“!”
Moving a little closer to , Sovieshu asked,
“What can I do to get you back?”
His eyes, which were drier than usual, looked like rough gemstones.
But what was I supposed to say?!
“Although our relationship as a couple is completely broken, you are still the emperor of my ho country. So take good care of the Eastern Empire, as you have always done.”
I spoke in as calm a voice as possible.
Even if he had divorced by mistake, or worse, even if he had divorced because of the effects of Grand Duke Kapn’s love potion, there was no turning back now.
Sovieshu smiled helplessly, as if he expected this answer.
I had no advice to give to Sovieshu. Unlike Rashta, we had learned everything together. Of course, he knew as much as I did. He just had to think clearly.
However, I could tell by his next words that he was beside himself.
“I love you.”
I looked at him in surprise, he seed to have received a severe blow to the head.
“Are you kidding ?!”
A rough voice ca out of on its own.
I couldn’t help it.
Did he love now?!
I could understand if he wanted to co back because he needed my help. It must have been exhausting to do all the work we used to share.
But he said he loved ? To ? And right after celebrating my wedding?
Instead of saying sothing else, Sovieshu repeated it,
“I love you.”
I felt suffocated.
I looked at him unable to even breathe before finally asking angrily,
“What’s the point of saying it now? Did you think that would make co back to your side?!”
“No.”
“Then?!”
“So that you would laugh at .”
“!”
“I wanted to let you know that your ex-husband is an idiot who arrogantly left you and then instantly regretted it. That he is suffering from realizing his true feelings too late. So the divorce.... more than sothing hurtful, would beco sothing you could laugh at.”
For so reason, I felt a slight heat in my eyes, and sothing flowed along my cheeks.
Staring at him, I began to rember every mont lived in the Eastern Empire.
The tis he doubted , the pains he caused by siding with Rashta, the day he left alone in front of everyone to go after Rashta, the expulsion of my brother, and finally the day he asked for a divorce.
The mories went further and further back in ti, the day Rashta arrived, the dinner we had together before he brought her, the ti he smiled saying that the best empress was his wife, the coronation day, our wedding, and even the day we got engaged...
I didn’t want to cry, but the tears kept streaming from my eyes.
I wanted to hit him with a pillow like in the old days. I wanted to ask him why he abandoned .
We weren’t deeply in love, but we were definitely friends. No, I actually liked him.
How could he do this to ? Were we not supposed to be together the rest of our lives?
Even though it was late, I wanted to scream and cry.
He was my husband, and I was his wife. How could he do this to ?
I knew my face looked terrible, but this ti it was impossible to manage my expression. I hadn’t even brought a handkerchief.
Eventually, as I stood there with tears spilling down my cheeks, Sovieshu raised a hand.
But instead of wiping away my tears, he clenched his fist.
“When you think of us, rember this mont. Suffer no more for the hurt I have caused you. Just laugh at your miserable ex-husband who now seeks to cling to you.”
