Loving The Countess of Vesuvia (Nadia requests and headcanons)

Nadia x MC who wants a divorce

❀It was a usual day for the Countess; nothing special was planned, just some work and spending time with MC. When she was done with her duties, she returned to her chambers, where MC was already waiting for her.

❀When entering the bedroom, Nadia had a big smile on her face as she was looking forward to seeing her beloved. However, that sweet smile faded very quickly."We need to talk," MC told her, and Nadia's heart was already beating fast from nervousness.

❀A thousand thoughts raced through her head, wondering what could have caused MC to feel the need for a serious talk.

❀So the two of them sit down at a table on opposite ends, and Nadia waits for MC to talk first, which does take them a good moment. Nadia has a hand resting on the table, awaiting her fate.

❀"I want a divorce," MC tells her, plain and cold.

❀She doesn't say anything at first. Her mind is blank, and she can't believe her ears. This can't be. There is no way this is happening.

❀"A divorce?" Nadia asks, her hand trembling as she removes it from the table and puts it on her lap, hiding it from MC. This must be a joke. Her MC would never want a divorce. She must have heard it wrong; there is simply no other way. "A-are you sure?" The Countess stutters, something she never does.

❀But MC confirms their wishes. Nadia swallows hard, trying her best to keep it together, but she can already feel that painful lump in her throat.

❀MC apologizes, but Nadia says nothing. They know her. They know that she would prefer to be alone now, so they leave her.

❀And Nadia sits there, alone, just like before she met MC. Loneliness is her destiny. She thought that with MC in her life, things could change, but how wrong she was. MC was just another proof that she belonged to no one and that she shall live in isolation forever.MC, the love of her life, her soulmate, her one true love, wants a divorce. How is she going to survive that?

❀She won't. While her life doesn't end there, a part of Nadia dies that day. She continues to live for Vesuvia and for no other reason.

❀And what else could this mean? That Nadia is unlovable. There is no love left in this world for her. Not before and not after MC.

❀Nadia remains dutiful to her people, but she grows cold and completely broken. There was no place for emotions in her heart. She lived to work, and she worked to live. Except she no longer felt truly alive.

❀But she cherished the days she had with MC forever. She would lay awake at night on her side, staring at the empty space next to her. She hoped that this was just another coma or a nightmare, that one day she'd wake up and MC would be there with her again. 

❀Deep inside her heart, she knew it would never happen. And it never did.
