Chapter 23.1

He was one of the five men who would seduce her into becoming his mistress. He was a man who had behaved so annoyingly to the point of being truly tiresome.

“Yes, it’s really good.”

After saying that, Leilia tried to leave. She had come out to get some fresh air, but it only made her head more complicated.

“He’s going to divorce you soon, so why don’t you accept the proposal I made before?”

He threw the words at Lelia, who was trying to leave.

She clenched her fists.

“I’ll decline.”

〈 You must be lonely, so why don’t you have tea time at my palace? 〉

As soon as Cassel left and she became a wife, she remembered the letters he had sent her. Even whenever she tried to forget, Lisseltz would send letters periodically.

These were letters with clear intentions.

“The Emperor has also decided on a new wife for my brother.”

Then, Lisseltz approached her and whispered.

“Think about it again. I heard he also has a mistress?”

As he spoke with his face close to hers, he touched upon the anxiety that she had been hiding in her heart all this time. Despite the fact that it was something she already knew, when Lisseltz said it, it took on a different meaning.

Leilia looked at him.

He was handsome and kinder to his lover more than anyone else. Above all, he was highly mentioned to be the next crown prince, Lisseltz Jen Roten.

She took a step back.

“I’m sorry, but my answer remains the same.”

After saying that, just as she tried to turn and leave, Lisseltz grabbed her arm.

“You always make me fret like this and then run away. How long do you think I’ll endure it?”

“Your Highness, please let go of your hand.”

Even though Lelia spoke sharply, he seemed to have no intention of letting go. Just then, the terrace door suddenly opened, and Cassel entered.

“I came because I heard a loud noise.”

Saying so, he forcibly removed Lisseltz’s hand away from her arm.

“I don’t think my wife wants this.”

Then, using all his strength, he pushed Lisseltz away and wrapped his arm around Leilia’s waist, pulling her close to his side.

“We’re going back.”

The emotion in his voice was stifled. It was easy to see that he was restraining his emotions. Leilia, who had come out onto the terrace, leaned her head on his shoulder without saying a word.

“It’s laborious.”

“What do you mean?”

“Just the things surrounding me.”

Her heart ached at the thought of divorcing Cassel again in the future. Even though they didn’t want a divorce, things had turned out this way.

“I’m going to meet His Majesty, would you like to come with me?”

It seemed that he must have something to say to the Emperor. Leilia nodded her head.

“Did you dance?”

She had intentionally vacated her seat because it seemed like the Emperor was going to ask him to dance with Carania.

Cassel grinned at her words.

“Do you think I’m going to dance?”

The intention behind his laughter was obvious.

“This time too…?”

“It seems like His Majesty was angry, but he seemed to have forgotten that it was me who should be angry.”

After saying that, he glanced at the young ladies.

“They will find good partners even if I don’t dance.”

He then kissed the part of her wrist that Lisseltz had grabbed.

“This is the problem. It’s a big issue because there are a lot of men who want Leilia.”

It didn’t seem like he was saying it as a joke.

‘…I wonder how he feels.’

“Do you remember what I told you three years ago? They made a bet on me.”

“He’s one of those people.”

Cassel nodded his head.

“Let’s just meet His Majesty and then go back.”

It was a mentally exhausting day. As Leilia linked arms with him, they headed towards the Emperor’s office.

〈 Carania, she’s a beautiful woman. 〉

〈 I’ll only dance with my wife. 〉

Leshulean frowned as he remembered Cassel, who had been cutting down in one blow.

“He doesn’t understand his father’s heart.”

Even though he had tried to introduce him to a proper partner, Cassel kept refusing. That was why the situation was getting tangled like this.

‘He doesn’t even know the subject.’

In addition, Leilia had shown her audacity by not following through with the divorce papers that were sent to her. It seemed as if she was rebelling against him by saying she would not get the divorce. The Eloisa family was a count’s family. Of course, the difference between a count’s family and a duke’s family wasn’t so great that they couldn’t marry, but Cassel was a war hero and a duke. Moreover, his original status was that of a prince, and so he had a higher status than an ordinary duke.

“I’m not doing this because he’s my son but because I’m handling things objectively!”
