Honey, Why Can’t We Get a Divorce?

, and presumably it was because of the swearing I ate all day today.

It was unfair.

I really didn’t do anything and stayed still— but I was criticized and misunderstood for no reason.
If it’s not unfair, that would be even more strange.

I wanted to say this unfairness anywhere.

So I held onto Sylvester.

“I really didn’t do anything wrong today.” Sylvester, who was looking out the window, glanced at me.
“I didn’t do anything.
I really didn’t do anything except go to the hall and drink.”

“I know.”

He acted like it didn’t matter.
I opened my eyes wide.

“I know you didn’t do anything.”

Uh—.
It’s not what I expected.
I clenched my hand tightly.

“Do you trust me?”

“That’s what I can say.”

“Wow—”

I put my hands together without realizing it.
Because I was touched.
I had a situation where no one believed me.
I mean, I just experienced a situation where everyone criticized me.

But I can’t believe he believe me for no reason.
I was really touched.
Come to think of it, I received a lot of help from Sylvester today.
Thanks to that, I was able to avoid accidents.

I only said ‘thank you’ inside, but I felt like I had to get it out of my mouth.

“T-thank—”

But why can’t I say it? I swallowed my dry saliva.

“T-tha—”

—I want to say thank you.

“I want to eat meat.” (t/n : Ophelia was trying to say 고맙다 but since both thank you(고맙다) and meat (고기) start with 고, she change her words xD)

This is all I can say.
I really hate it.

I lowered my head.
Then Sylvester’s laughter came out.

“You’re really funny.”

Tuk.

He put his hand on the back of my head.
Seeing him rubbing, it felt like he was stroking my hair.

“So do what you want and live.”

How can Sylvester choose only the words I want?

“Don’t look around.”

So I thought it would be a little dangerous.
If I fall in love with him, I’ll be in big trouble that day, right?

I should keep my distance for a while.
Of course, I will received the stroking for now—.

I calmly left my head in Sylvester’s hand.

Stroking.

I felt better.

*****

The morning has come.
I got up, brushing my frizzy hair.
And I thought.

‘Day of Revenge.’

Whoo.

I pulled the string.
Immediately after that, Irene came in.

“Madam! You woke up early!”

“Yes.
I have some work to do today.” I stretched out and said.
“I’m going to the Crown Prince’s Palace.”

“—Pardon?” Irene’s eyes shook.
“Madam.
You didn’t see the article—”

She looked at me as if she felt sorry for me and said, then, she took out the newspaper and handed it over to me.I accepted the newspaper and spread it out.
As soon as I did that, I noticed an article hanging in the headline.

[Ophelia Ryzen causes another trouble!]

I knew this would happen.
I hurriedly read the following.

[An uninvited woman attended the Grand Duke’s ball.
It’s Ophelia Ryzen—(omitted)—she swears at the Countess Fleur William—(omitted)—she couldn’t hold her anger and began to use black magic—(omitted)— what if the Duke of Ryzen had not come? I don’t know if it might have happened— (omitted)—]

Hmm.
It’s all revealed.

I smiled bitterly and folded the newspaper.
No, I was going to fold it.
But the last sentence caught my eye.

[Therefore, laws prohibiting black magic should be created immediately.
Before something terrible like this happens!]

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

I laughed in vain because I was speechless.

“So you should ban black magic now?”

When do you get help from black magicians?

“It’s disgusting, really.”

Whoo.
I frowned as I blew my bangs with my breath.
Irene was shaking next to me.

“Madam.
I think your mouth is open again—”

Ah.
I was so Ophelia.
I sighed and swept my hair back.

“It’s because I’m angry.
This is a ridiculous story.”
