"There was a good reason why the Duchess was forbidden from entering the Glass Garden!" The lawyer passionately argued. He was likely someone who had spent a long time with the Richard Duchy and might have witnessed Estelle's scandalous behavior firsthand. The fact that she had become a completely different person afterward might not have been that important. "Oh, really? Then let’s hear the reason. It must be something serious if the Duchess, one of the household's masters, is banned from entering a…-

Claude's lawyer began the rebuttal promptly. "In Civil Code Article 829, regarding agreements and amendments to marital property, it is stipulated that any expression of intent that restricts the decision-making of a personal status act is null and void." He stood in opposition to Natasha, blocking her path to Claude. "Furthermore, according to Supreme Court ruling A-10447 in Imperial Year 231... even if a prenuptial agreement states 'under no circumstances will we divorce,' it is judged as a clause…

"Your Honor," Natasha began, taking a step forward to open her statement. Her gaze lightly brushed past the opposing counsel before settling on the judge. Holding a stack of documents in one hand, she projected an air of confidence. Her voice was calm and deliberate. "I believe we can all agree that preserving a single life is more important than maintaining a family. What meaning could there possibly be in upholding a family built on someone's sacrifice? Even the gods above would not desire such a…

"Is it that Petrov from the West?" "Yes, that Petrov." In the empire, aside from the central region directly governed by the emperor, the other regions were ruled by ducal families representing each area. Richard in the East, Petrov in the West, Dorothea in the South, and Winchester in the North. The vast empire was so culturally and ethnically diverse that each region had its own distinct atmosphere, almost like separate countries. While the East was a city of romance, brimming with grain and wealth,…

“Lydia...” Claude kissed the back of Lydia's hand. Lydia, dressed in a pure white dress, was dazzlingly beautiful. “What do you think?” “This one will do.” “What?! You’re not going to look at anything else?” “It’s absolutely perfect.” His expression was so firm, without a trace of doubt, that Lydia couldn’t help but let out a small laugh. “Ah~ seriously, when will this story finally end? Watching them flirt like this is only entertaining for so long.” Kang Min-joo…

Levi, the deputy head of the Blended Merchant Guild, was forced to stay in the guest room for the night. Although it was said that he was invited to stay, it was almost equivalent to being kicked out to the guest room. Levi couldn’t bring himself to refuse the Duke's offer of "It's already late today, so let's continue our conversation tomorrow," and was practically half-imprisoned in the guest room. A warm bath and a glass of moderately strong wine were provided for Levi. Meanwhile, Claude paced…

"Estelle is currently on a trip. You won’t be able to meet her right away." "Do you mean there’s no way to contact her?" "She wanted some time alone and didn’t take any means of communication with her. If you send someone immediately, they might catch up to her, but… it would take at least a week." At Claude’s response, the man’s face showed signs of despair. "What in the world is going on? I think I have the right to know, as Estelle’s husband." "Well… it’s an internal matter of the…

Upon hearing the whole story, Gideon reluctantly nodded. He seemed quite surprised to learn that the Duchess had secretly hired a lawyer to prepare for a divorce. "…Alright, I understand. Since there’s a lawyer involved… I suppose I’ll have to trust you for now." "I'm telling you, it's a real lawyer." Gideon finally sheathed his sword. Natasha, who had been extremely tense, finally relaxed her body. "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?" "But… Sir Gideon, you’re a knight of the House of…

–Claude loves me? That can't be true. But love had always been like that. Unpredictable and beyond anyone’s control. Would even Claude Richard want to fall in love with the woman who had been stalking him? There were undoubtedly many stories Natasha didn’t know about between the two, but that didn't change the conclusion. Claude Richard was in love with Estelle. After confirming this clear truth, Natasha knew what she had to do next. "I thought you'd like it," Claude murmured softly. "Didn't…

"Of course, I remember!" Marie exclaimed enthusiastically, almost making Estelle's casual question seem pointless. "Really?" "Yes, indeed. You were so happy that day. Do you really not remember at all?" In response to Marie's concerned tone, Estelle reluctantly nodded. "I wasn't there with you, so I don't know all the details, but it was after that day that you became officially engaged." "What happened that day?" "Well, it was the Duke's birthday party, but the Duke himself didn’t attend. So, you…
