Today’s Goal is a Safe Divorce!

Chapter 66

It didn’t seem possible, so it was the same strategy as before. However, it didn’t happen twice. Previously, she had no choice but to suffer because she fell asleep.

“I don’t think so.”

He was not some ghost who died because he couldn’t hold her hand, and Elysia didn’t know why he was so anxious to touch her like this. Damon hated contact with other people so much.

“Why…?”

“I can’t sleep while holding hands.”

Even now, he was still holding her hand, so she was lying on her back with her whole body stiff. It was unreasonable to sleep in this state.

“Hmm, is that so?”

Saying so, Damon didn’t let go of her hand even though she said she couldn’t sleep. No matter what she said, he seemed unwilling to let go.

“If I don’t hold the wife’s hand, I can’t sleep.”

“Yes?”

What a strange idea this was. He had slept alone perfectly well until now, but it was only for one day that they started sleeping together. So, it was sophistry that he couldn’t sleep if he didn’t hold her hand.

“Still, then I can’t sleep.”

If she continued to share a bed with him in the future, she shouldn’t back down, or else this would continue to happen in the future. This was the unforgivable part. They were not married in love, and it was funny that he slept holding her hand like this every time.

If this was the case, it would look like they were dying for love towards each other… That was an absurd hypothesis, Elysia shook her head.

“I want you to let go.”

Then, he grabbed her so desperately that he wouldn’t let her go, so she couldn’t get her hand out. Why did he seem to be clinging to her? Even when she asked to let go, Damon was adamant.

“If I don’t touch the wife…”

“Your Grace?”

What if he didn’t touch her?

“I think I’m going to die.”

“….”

‘I think I’m going to die?’

Perhaps because she couldn’t believe Damon’s words, the words that he was about to die echoed in her head. Elysia’s head was blank, and she just stared at him. She couldn’t accept this nonsense remark, and her head staggered as she was overloaded.

“Wife?”

“….”

Her head says she’s heard wrong, but from her experience, she wasn’t wrong. Elysia stared at Damon, blinking her wide eyes. Were the words that came out of that man’s mouth true? No, why…? She tried to understand, but she couldn’t.

“Elysia.”

“…Ah, yes.”

How should she interpret the word I was going to die? His words were difficult to interpret each time. It was confusion itself. She felt disconnected from the original Damon she knew… Remarks that the original Damon Raphael would never have said.

“Are you not feeling well?”

“No, no.”

If his goal was to have what he wanted, then it was a success. Damon’s remarks left her so stunned that she didn’t mind holding hands with him any longer. Because she was so preoccupied, she had no time to focus on anything else.

“….”

No matter how much she thought about ‘I’m going to die,’ she couldn’t figure it out, and no clear answer came to mind.

…Did Damon ever have to die?

As far as Elysia knew, he had no such experience. In the first place, he was not in such a serious crisis that his life would ever be at stake. Uniquely strong among his brethren, he easily ascended the Grand Duke’s throne.

“I think I’m going to die…”

…Damon Raphael was such an existence.

“What does it mean?”

She couldn’t come up with an answer. His words have always been like an unsolvable riddle to her. It was a rare mystery with no hints whatsoever.

“It’s cute that the wife is always troubled with that little head.”

“Yes?”

“Until that little head explodes, you keep thinking and pondering over and over.”

Rather, the answer that he gave was more incomprehensible. Even hearing the words ‘until her head explodes’ Elysia trembled in surprise. It was kind of a casual remark to pass as a trivial remark. She didn’t even know it was wrong to just wait for Damon’s answer.

“I’ll just sleep. I can sleep.”

If she kept closing her eyes, Elysia thought she would fall asleep… No, she had to go to sleep. It was still good enough though it was a bit annoying. Nevertheless, the bed was spacious, and she could sleep very easily.

“I am sleepy. Good night.”

Better to avoid talking to Damon. Elysia ignored the sleep that did not come, and she forcibly closed her eyes.

Please, hoping he doesn’t talk anymore.

“….”

He no longer spoke to her. Knowing that Elysia hadn’t slept yet, she was more terrified of Damon’s reaction.

Even with her eyes closed, she could feel his eyes vividly.

Elysia couldn’t even open her eyes. It was because when she opened her eyes, she had to see the blue eyes glowing in the dark. She didn’t want to meet the eyes, who would be watching her quietly like prey.

It was a terrifying light that sometimes gave her goosebumps, even in bright daylight.

“Sleep well.”

With the voice that rang in her ears, Elysia had to try frantically not to flinch. It seemed that he knew already that she hadn’t slept. She was terrified that she would have to continue this hellish sleep in the future.

Another night passed, not knowing how she fell asleep. She closed her eyes all morning and then fell asleep at some point. She was terrified that she would continue to live like this in the future. Would she collapse from lack of sleep?

Even the wicked Countess did not bother her at night…

She woke her up early in the morning, but it seemed that he left her quiet in the evening. He tormented her from morning till evening. She couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that she had to live a life of walking on thin ice every day.

“I’m glad he wasn’t there in the morning.”

Damon was gone when she woke up. At least, it was a good thing. As soon as she woke up, what should she say if she saw him? Especially if she held his hand until that moment, it was just embarrassing.

‘Every morning I wake up holding hands with him…’

“That’s not enough.”

At the same time, she was also anxious because she didn’t know what he would do when she slept. She was afraid of what he might do while sleeping. Damon wouldn’t stop killing. Even then, he might still go out every night. She didn’t feel the smell of blood… Still, she didn’t know.

“Are you awake, Your Grace?”

“Ah, yes….”

Elysia was startled by Julia’s voice coming from outside her door. She wanted to know how she knew right away when she woke up. There was no surveillance camera in the room… She glanced around her for a bit, but nothing strange happened.

“Can I come in?”

Hearing that Julia was going to come in, Elysia got up and checked her clothes. It was better than the first night, but her pajamas were still made of light material. After waking up due to poor sleeping habits, her pajamas were loose.

‘…Have Damon seen it?’

No, he wouldn’t have seen it. He was the one who wouldn’t pay any attention to her even if she was naked. Then, she wondered what had happened after she had fallen asleep. She obviously didn’t have good sleeping habits.

She slept with all kinds of bad sleeping habits, so even when she slept with him, she couldn’t help it. It was probably worse off because she hadn’t slept well for a long time.

“Strange…”

“Yes? What did you say?”

“Oh, no. Can you wait a minute?”

Or, was it that Damon didn’t even feel it because he was in a deep sleep? That wouldn’t be it. Damon wasn’t the type to sleep deeply. He had noticed all the killers who had been hiding to kill him. There was no way such a person could not have felt her sleeping habit.

“Did I sleep quietly because I was so nervous?”

It seemed like that. Otherwise, Damon couldn’t have said anything. Her sleeping habits were really nasty. She moved all kinds of movements, to the point that it was difficult for anyone to sleep next to her.

“Your Grace, may I come in?”

“Yes.”

Elysia quickly tied her pajamas. It was a nightgown in the form of a robe, so it would come loose eventually. She thought she saw Damon wearing the same pajamas… Would his be loose like this every time he woke up?

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes.”

In fact, far from sleeping well, she was still sleepy and seemed to die. Elysia was so nervous and slept so late that she didn’t feel refreshed at all. She didn’t know that maybe dark circles would come down to her chin. She wanted to sleep at least as comfortably as possible.

“Come on, I’ll make the bedding. Follow Rachel and Chloe.”

There didn’t seem to be much to organize… It was only the blanket on her side that was a mess. Damon’s side, on the other hand, was so neat that she didn’t even know who had laid there. As if no one had laid down.

“Your Grace, good morning.”

“Did you have a good sleep?”

“Yes, good morning.”

Chloe’s exceptionally bright greeting made her feel better. Well, at least she shouldn’t care unless he said anything. It was only hard for her to keep worrying about everything.

“What do you want to do first thing in the morning? Are you going to wash?”

Last night she washed and fell asleep, so she didn’t have to. Elysia shook her head slightly.

“Is His Grace in the office?”

“No, I think he is at the training ground today.”

…Training ground?

In order to maintain such skills, training was essential, especially that body.

That muscular body didn’t just come out of nowhere. It was a body so perfect that she almost stopped bewitching it. Elysia still remembered those water drops falling through the robe. Cold drops of water flowing down the hard chest bone…

“…It was perfect.”
