Honey, Why Can’t We Get a Divorce?

Chapter 128

Who is it?

said Sylvester.

I answered, folding the letter roughly.

His Highness the Crown Prince. 

Why is he?

asked Sylvester, expressing his displeasure with his whole face.

What do you mean why? He must have done this after hearing that I hit Countess Fleur.

Ah. 

Sylvester nodded.

Then he said, frowning.

Dont go,

What?

Dont go, you dont have to go, do you?

But then

In fact, thats true.

Theres no reason for me to run away saying Yeah just because Callian is calling.

Now, I dont have to seduce Callian anymore, and its not me who has to maintain a good relationship with him, its Sylvester.

But.

I blinked my eyes.

Still, I will go. 

Why?

I have to go and make sure.

I said with a smirk.

Now that I dont suffer anymore.

******

Callian was very, very, very, in a very bad mood.

Its not just because Fleur was beaten by Ophelia. It was more complicated than that.

Had it been the original Callian, he would have been furious when he found out that Fleur had been beaten to the dust by Ophelia on a rainy day. He must have comforted Fleur by threatening to put Ophelia to death right now.

But Callian right now is.

He only sent a letter of consolation to Fleur but didnt call her into the palace. Instead, he summoned Ophelia.

Calling Ophelia, Callian thought. Oh, its this excuse for him to be able to see her.

Callian came to think that his heart had changed a little, no, a lot.

He realized that his love for Fleur was not the same as before, and he was thinking of Ophelia more often than before.

So Callian was in a very bad mood.

Why? 

Why the hell? 

He loves Fleur. 

However, it has disappeared whether this is the ongoing love for her or the past she loved. It seemed to be closer to I loved you.  

But what about Ophelia?

Even when he closed her eyes, he kept thinking of her.

He keep thinking of her bold words, her smirking smile, and the things she said she would help him.

Damn it.

Callian had to admit it now.

The fact that Ophelias weight has grown in his mind. More than Fleur.

But Ophelia said she likes Sylvester.

Their relationship seemed to be getting better than before. To hear peoples stories.

Is there room for him to intervene?

Probably not. 

However, it wasnt like he had to give up.

He was the Crown Prince and was in a position to have everything he wanted.

He had to have it.

He could never let her go, even more so as the Emperor said that.

Callian opened the door to the drawing-room and entered.

Oh, youre here?

Ophelia, who knew nothing of Calians heart, greeted him with a bright smile.

Todays Ophelia was dressed more modestly than usual.

This didnt reduce her sparkling appearance, though.

Callian looked at Ophelia and Fleur for a moment.

And he thought that Ophelia was much more beautiful.

Damn it. 

Callian was angry with herself for having this thought in his unconscious mind, and also angry with Ophelia.

So he treated Ophelia in a rather curt manner.

You know your fault, dont you?

He said as he sat down across from Ophelia. Then Ophelia tilted her head.

I dont know.

Ophelia said with her smile still on her face.

I dont know why Your Highness called me. Why did you call me?

Ophelia Ryzen. 

Is it because I hit Fleur?

Thats right!

Callian raised his voice.

Youve given me a hell of a lot of trouble. What do you mean by nosebleed on the ladys face! 

If I hadnt, she would have been lied to again.

Ophelia said with an expression of real resentment.

I didnt do anything, and she screamed that I hit her. Thats why I made it true. Thats all. Did I do something wrong?

Callians eyes narrowed.

If what Ophelia said is true, that is, if Fleur has offended her with a lie. No, its still not right for violence!

Callian somehow frowned at Ophelia, pounding his head against which he had leaned.

Its hard to let this go.

I understand, too. But what can I do? Its already happened.

Ophelia shrugged her shoulders.

I really cant stop you.

Callian smiled sadly and shook his head.

Im not going to take responsibility.

I know. Your Highness loves Countess Fleur, so you must be angry that I hit her.

Ophelia said. Callian frowned.

Who said that? Who said that I love Countess Fleur?

What?

Ophelia was confused for the first time.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Were you a woman who listened to such gossip? Then Ill say it again. I am not in love with Countess Fleur, but I am close to her.

Callians heart was aching as he spoke this way. But he had to make sure it was like this. Only then will he be able to gain Ophelias trust.

As if this was the correct answer, Ophelias eyes were trembling a little.

Itsvery frustrating.

Ophelias head was hurt.

What is this?

Did Callian change his plan?

In the direction of pretending not to know Fleur?

Then he tries to make Fleur the Empress?

No, in that case, it would be better for him to just show her all that he loves Fleur as he is now. Why the hell?

Ophelia was very confused.

Anyway, it happened, so you know.

I dont know what you mean to know, but I get it.

She nodded her head, thinking that she should think about this a little more later.

Callians lips rose as if they were satisfied.

By the way, about the Duke. 

Yeah. Please speak.

The Duke came to me and asked for a deal.

Callian said with a twinkle in his eyes.

I want to put a condition on him.

Conditions?

Yes.

Ophelia wondered what the conditions were, but on the other hand, she had a strong intuition that she shouldnt ask. She bit her mouth tight for that.

Im going to join hands on the condition that he needs to accept the conditions

Callian looked into Ophelias eyes and asked.

What do you think?

My thoughts?

He has no idea.

Ophelia scratched her cheek.

And she decided to give Callian a word he might like.

No, hes going to join hands with Sylvester anyway. Wouldnt it be nice to lift his mood?

Your Highness is better than the 2nd Prince.

I know right? 

Callian smiled contentedly and leaned back on the sofa.

The condition is no big deal.

She doesnt think she needs to say anything. Ophelia shook her head, slightly nervous.

You should talk to my husband about that

However, Callian didnt understand Ophelias heart at all.

The two of you are getting a divorce.

He continued.

Thats what I want. 

******

Largo stood around the room.

Because of the Emperors anger, he couldnt go out, and it was quite frustrating.

But this thing didnt last long.

Now, in a few days, the forbidden rule will be lifted, and he will be able to move as he pleases.

The first thing to do is.

Ophelia Ryzen. 

Of course, she doesnt have much power, so just ignoring her could be beneficial to his mind and body.

But Largos strong intuition was telling him.

If he left it as it is, it would definitely hurt him.

Therefore, as soon as Largo left the palace, he planned to destroy Ophelia Ryzen.

To do that.

Traitor.

It would be best to make it like that.

Largo approached the desk.

On the desk, there were papers with personal information of the people working for the Duke Ryzen.

Who should I choose?

As he muttered, he immediately grinned and lifted a piece of paper.

You would be fine.

His mean laughter filled the room.
