Divorce Will Be Completed in 3 Seconds - Chapter 38

Chapter 38

“Older brother, your face is the best…………!”

“Really? I was worried because it’s my first time getting ready like this.”

I was constantly in awe.

Glittering silver hair in the sun and green eyes as beautiful as emerald.

Wearing a formal dress, Leodor was simply the embodiment of a fairy.

Even the awkward smile was perfect.

“There’s nothing to worry about. It’s perfect.”

“It’s an honor for my sister to say so.”

After a slightly exaggerated greeting, he reached out to me.

“Then shall we go?”

“Yes!”

I headed to the palace with Leodor.

***

The grand hall of the Imperial Palace

“What brings the Duke of Palesdon to this occasion?”

“I know. He’s famous for not attending the party.”

The nobles whispered looking at Argention.

The founding of the empire was absolute.

The nobles who did not participate in the related events were considered to be seeking treason.

Therefore, even Duke Blake, who had lost his son, attended the Founding Festival and the Eve Festival.

The only exception was Palesdon.

He led the continental war to victory, defeated the demon, and acquired the territory of the north, and was recognized as invincible.

Every year, the emperor had to laugh at the news of his absence from the international community, saying, “It’s not news of rebellion, but it’s a relief.”

As a result, the nobles naturally thought that Argention would not come out.

Because of his excellent sense of humor, Argention, who listened to the conversation of the nobles even though he didn’t want to, was thinking the same thing.

‘Why did I come out?’

Argention was extremely reluctant to go out because he didn’t know when the madness would come.

Henness’s work was only reported through Morris, not directly in and out.

However, it was different these days.

The range of movement has widened considerably.

‘It’s probably because of this.’

Argention recalled a handkerchief stuck in his chest.

In fact, he had a few more identical handkerchiefs.

I had the same product just in case, but it didn’t work.

‘Why did Roselina give me…’

Suddenly, an idea crossed Argention’s mind.

“Improving factor.”

The only thing that can alleviate the insanity that comes down in Palesdon from generation to generation.

The Palesdon spent their life searching for the person they will imprint, and the moment they meet that person, they fall in love like fate.

‘No, it can’t be.’

But Argention shook his head.

It was because of the prophecy that was given at the moment of his birth.

“There is no imprint in this world for the young Palesdon.”

The short prediction left the previous Duchess of Palesdon in despair.

They wanted to deny it, but the prophecy was absolute more than anything.

“No, I can’t let my child die. I need to find a way to cure his insanity.”

“I feel the same way. I don’t want to pass on this pain to my child.”

“There is still a lot of land on the continent that is out of reach. There may be a way out.”

Eventually, the Duke of Palesdon entrusted his younger sister, Catalina, as acting head of the family.

The Duke and Duchess of Palesdon gave up honor and power for Argention and left.

They wandered around the continent for a long time.

They wandered in the remote area and sometimes were in distress, but they did not give up.

“There is still an unknown land beyond the north. There are many legends about it, but no one has ever been there. I have to go.”

“I agree with you. I have a hunch there’s some way out.”

The couple left behind a letter saying they were heading over the North.

It was the last vestige they left in the world.

“Mother, father………….”

The funeral of the Duke and Duchess of Palesdon was held without their bodies.

Little Argention lost hope.

All he has left is a foregone conclusion.

He was alive without dying because he wanted to fight against his beggarly fate.

Argention’s only concern was madness.

Roselina was the one who suddenly appeared in front of him.

She handed over an unidentified handkerchief and is now a business partner.

Argention learned quite a bit about Roselina.

‘But I don’t know who her partner is.’

He clenched his fist unconsciously.

“It’s a secret.”

The nonchalant voice was still fresh in my ears.

Roselina’s bright smile on her fair face.

“Why won’t you tell me?”

Who the hell do you want to go with?

What’s the point of hiding it?

‘It can’t be Calix.’

Argention squinted.

I don’t think so. How dare a man who can’t take off his beastly self put his dirty face in here?

But strangely, I felt dirty.

All the more because there was no information.

Sources in Henness couldn’t even bring an answer.

“Useless people.”

Then Argention’s eyes shook.

It’s still far away, but he definitely felt it.

‘…………… Roselina.’

Her scent.

Roselina arrived at the banquet hall.

After a while, a loud voice rang out.

“The Duchess and her partner are entering!”

Argention turned to the entrance.

“Who the hell took the seat beside Roselina?”

***

“Oh, good.”

As soon as I entered the banquet hall, all eyes were on me.

I turned my head slightly so that they could see the rose with the hair ornament.

An exclamation soon came in.

“Isn’t that a rose?”

“I heard that the Duchess of Palesdon has severe symptoms of rose curse, so what’s going on?”

“I heard that the curse of roses will never go away…………”

It was just the reaction I wanted.

‘I’m going to go promote it in earnest.’

Just in time, a voice was heard toward Leodor.

“Isn’t it the Prince Brighton next to her?”

“I only heard that Prince Brighton got out of coma, but I didn’t expect him to attend.”

“The social landscape will be different from now on.”

I gave Leodor a little push on his back.

Today was important because he had no social base.

“Older brother, come back for a second.”

“Yes, I see.”

After parting from Leodor, she headed to the gathering place of the ladies.

“Hi, how are you doing?”

“…………… Oh, yes. How’s the Duchess doing?”

“Oh, hello………….”

The ladies were embarrassed, but they didn’t seem to mind me.

“You’re here with Prince Brighton. It’s so desirable to see good friendship.”

“That makes sense. Everybody knows the latest news about the Duchess. You’re amazing.”

“My daughter says her dream is to be like the Duchess these days.”

“Yes, so does my daughter. So I really wanted to talk to the Duchess, but thank you for talking to me first.”

Rather, as soon as someone opened the door, they all began to praise each other.

“I’m very grateful for your hospitality.”

I bowed my head slightly and thanked them. It was a bonus that the rose naturally stuck in the headdress shook.

The ladies looked at the roses with bewilderment.

“How can a rose be so fresh? It’s the most beautiful rose I’ve seen lately.”

“But are you okay? It’s my first time seeing you with a rose this close.”

“Is there a new drug that can suppress the curse of roses more strongly?”

It was a reaction that I expected.

I replied with a grin.

“It’s not the effect of the medicine. I got a special rose.”

“Special rose?”

“Yes, it’s a rose that doesn’t induce the curse of the rose.”

“…….……..!”

It was no exaggeration to say that all the attention of the banquet hall was focused on me at the moment.

All the nobles nearby, as well as the ladies I was talking to, looked this way.

It was a pretty satisfactory response, so I looked around the banquet hall.

Then I saw the fine black hair shaking in the distance.

“Argention?”

He went over to the balcony.

‘What is it? I think his cheeks were a little red.’

That’s none of my business.

I quickly turned off the attention and continued my conversation with the ladies.

“Was there a rose like that?”

“Why didn’t I hear of that?”

The ladies immediately expressed interest.

‘That’s understandable.’

They all have the curse of roses.

Even aristocrats were bound to be excluded from the mainstream when the symptoms of curse of roses appeared.

‘Brighton would have been excluded from politics without fairy protection.’

Is it because of the sadness of being treated as an exception due to roses?

The ladies were active.

“If I had known such a rose exists, I’d like to get it, too.”

“I had a hard time getting it, too. I’m afraid it’ll be hard for me to get it if there’s a rumor.”

It is a person’s psychology that burns more when rejected once.

Sure enough. The ladies fretted.

“Can’t the Duchess just let us know?”

“That’s right. We’ll keep it to ourselves. I’ll keep it a secret.”

I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled softly.

“Then let’s just talk about it here.”

The meaning of “talk only here” was “a talk that people around the world will know soon.”
