Synopsis
“I want a divorce.”
Ilay stopped undoing his shirt and looked at Ruby. His expression was one of rare surprise.
Ruby was just as surprised. Even though she had blurted it out impulsively, she was shocked herself. At the same time, she quickly wondered what she would say if he asked her why.
“Two weeks from now.”
“…Pardon?”
In an indifferent, even tone, Ilay continued unbuttoning his shirt.
“I have business in the capital, so do it then. I’ll inform His Majesty in advance.”
“……”
“Write down what you want from the divorce separately and give it to me. I’ll take care of it.”
His answer was so clean and decisive that the expression that had briefly crossed his face felt like a mirage.
Ruby was the one left speechless instead.
She had actually thought he would ask her questions. How foolish of her.
“Okay.”
Ruby left the room with a lonely smile.
On the day she divorced him, Ruby died in a carriage accident.
When she opened her eyes, she was back in the first year of her marriage.
She naturally thought she would be able to get a divorce easily this time as well. But…
“I sent you a letter saying I want a divorce.”
“What?”
“If you tell His Majesty, it should be over quickly…”
“No.”
“…What?”
“Ruby. I have no intention of divorcing you.”
He said it in a gentle voice and with an expression she had never seen before.
It seemed that getting a second divorce from her husband was not going to be easy.
