Divorce Manual

Chapter 84

"Amazing."

Hortman's first job as a slave, aka an employee, is to repair the robe that Charles gave me.

The wizard isn't a seamstress, but I want to know how he'd mend it.

Wow—

After Hortman says a few words, the robe shrinks to fit me perfectly.

It's altered by magic, so does that mean only a wizard can control it?

He seems very proud of himself.

'This is something nobody elsecan do.'

'This is what kind of wizard I am.'

'Yes, why did such a sorcerer have to do that?''

I cast aside my sarcastic thought and say thank you.

The thing I'm thankful for is that I can pretend to be thankful.

I then send Hortman back, who must have been very tired today.

I am tired too.

"Whew~"

I haven't even seen the warehouse that I really want to see.

"Let's go."

Right, I came here to see that.

Let's stretch out my arms upward as if channeling some energy before leaning toward the ground.

"Ahem."

Charles coughs, announcing his appearance.

If I jump up suddenly, I'm afraid that my fragile body will snap again.

"What's wrong?"

I touch my hands to the floor and turn my head slightly. My long hair scatter in front of me like a waterfall, and I can see his face without seeing it.

"I thought that I might get hurt if I get up suddenly. I ask for your understanding."

With a forced smile, I slowly stretch my hand forward and stand up straight. I then relax my shoulders and roll my neck from side to side.

"Where are you quarreling at?"

(T/N: he's asking this because she's doing stretches so it looks like she's getting ready to fight/argue...literally this shit was confusing as hell)

"What?"

"Where?"

With you, now.

I think I might have raised my fist.

(C) "I want to go to the milk warehouse with a spirited mindset."

I quickly fix my thoughts and respond normally.

"For what reason?"

"Come with me for a second. Let's go somewhere."

Wow, I must be tired today.

"Where? Moreover, I think I'm going to have a hard time later today."

"I'm going to the stable for a while."

If it's a stable, is it horseback riding?

"Uh, horseback riding."

As if he has read my thoughts, he nods, putting the words in my mouth.

"Don't you want to take a look at the horses?"

"Ah."

I really should sew my mouth shut. I get tired when I remember everything I did without thinking.

Plus, it really isn't urgent.

Because—

"I can see it after you leave for the capital."

I try to postpone it later, but—

"You don't want to learn from me."

You read my heart like a ghost.

Since I don't have the heart to nod, I smile awkwardly instead.

"You need to have a horse in order to learn."

That's true, again.

"I give you my word. I will look around."

"Let's go! "

I just thought the practice can be me riding a pony.

But, he's not just lending me a horse.

I can't believe you're going to it to me for my own us.

Young and rich.

For a second, I can't help but be blinded by his charms as he shines in the sun.

Too bad.

'Your Grace, you love him, don't you? I know everything.'

Leo keeps making strange statements, trying to brainwash me.

Honestly though, for such an attractive guy, isn't it a waste?

In addition, he's been coming at me, saying heart-throbbing lines.

Of course, it's a feeling that will disappear soon, but I can't believe I can't like this guy in front of me.

It's like Hong Gil-dong, who can't call his father, 'father', or a miserable heroine who can't say she likes him.

"Hell."

"...What?"

"Nothing!"

I slap my hand at the sound of my heart pounding and quickly shake my head.

"..."

He looks at me with his head slightly tilted, pursing his lower lip.

"Hmm."

I turn my head.

But the tail of his mouth visible on his side face...

I think it curves up a little bit.

Didn't it?

Then, it instantly disappears.

I'm wondering what's wrong with this guy.

It's just because I'm next to you.

I silently say to myself so I can shut down my heart beat, trying to justify my strange reaction.

Yes, I am so pretty and lovely that no one can escape without loving me.

Sure, of course.

I roll my shoulders and tap him.

"Shall we go?"

Already, I'm feeling tired all through my body.
