After I Sent the Divorce Letter, My Husband Went Mad - Chapter 25

As emotions overwhelmed her, a sob escaped her throat. Even though she tried to hold it in, it was difficult and Leilia cried for a moment.

Cassel kissed her crying tears.

“Is it that painful?”

“No.”

At the question, she shook her head. Rather, it was painful because this love affair was so sweet that it seemed to fill her heart with a sense of emptiness.

“It’s just warm.”

Cassel embraced her and coveted her even more deeply.

At the same time, Leilia called his name in the heat of the moment. It seemed like something she’d been wanting to do for a long time. As he coveted her, he collapsed and lay down, gasping for breath as he pulled her closer to him as if to feel the lingering feeling of the burning love affair.

“I’m sorry.”

“Why?”

“It was just because of this situation, it would have been more heartfelt though you’ve got a husband who was going to die. Not only that he’s a commoner who you sponsored, but he’s married to you, a noble.”

After saying that, he sought her lips. His kisses seemed to soothe her as he moved deeper into her lips. On the other hand, Leilia was taken aback by his words.

‘He seems to have misunderstood.’

She wasn’t thinking that at all.

“But, what will you do if I don’t come back?”

Cassel asked in a low voice.

What if he dies?

It wasn’t until they became one that she realized how much she wanted him. It was also now that Leilia realized how long she had been holding back her feelings and how much she loved him.

She didn’t want him to die.

“Come back alive.”

There was no way she would let him die. She would protect him with everything she had.

“I guess that’s what I’m supposed to say. Yes, you’re right. I can’t die and leave such a beautiful wife here.”

Liar.

There’s someone else whom he thought was beautiful.

‘…You have someone you love.’

As he ran a hand through her hair, Leilia closed her eyes without realizing it, treasuring the way he did it without words.

She was tired.

Soon, sleepiness washed over her.

“Go to sleep.”

With his words comforting her to sleep, she closed her eyes softly. When she woke up again, it was already dawn.

Cassel had left for the battlefield.

However, a small note was left behind.

⎡ I will certainly come back. ⎦

“…You can’t die.”

Leilia cried silently.

It was just one night, but she still remembered the way he smelled. However, it would be greed to covet this.

If he came back alive… he would probably be in a different position.

The few princes who returned alive from the battlefield were treated well by the Empire. And at that time, he wouldn’t have to maintain such a forced marriage by order of the Emperor. So, she wanted to give him a divorce first so he could go to the woman he loved.

She didn’t want to beg for emotion.

It reminded her of her mother, whose life was gradually drying up because of love. She didn’t want to slowly fall apart like her mother, so she would hold onto her emotions and let him go with dignity.

Suppressing the desire to covet him, she swore.

Three years passed like that, and Cassel went out to the battlefield and never visited Leilia again. However, he continued to send letters to her from the battlefield, and as she replied to him, they remained a loving couple.

And with his victory in the war, his position changed as she had predicted.

In a war fought solely by humans because no other races participated, Cassel overpowered by force and won all the battles he participated in.

Everyone praised him.

The day she heard the news that Cassel had cut off the King’s head in a war in which the King of Seitria directly participated, the day the victory was assured, the imperial family sent her divorce papers. So, she signed the divorce papers without hesitation.

With the same feeling she had when she was with him then, Leilia pressed it down even though it broke her heart.

Lucis said he was going to deliver the divorce papers himself.

‘…This is the end of our relationship.’

If she could live with the memories of the first night, she thought it would be worth living. And even though she might have to see him with his mistress or perhaps she might see him with the woman he loved, that would be okay as well.

It was difficult, but she still had to live.
