Father will not allow a divorce.

He won't allow it.

He won't.

Won't he?

Once, twice, three times. She exhaled as she bent her back.

Like it or not, the sound of fountain pen squeaks again.

Kanna slowly lifted herself up, Alessandro was writing something, looking away from her again. The light of the back of his hand looked so peaceful that Kanna thought she had heard it wrong. But she know it's not.

"Why?"

What? In that short time, what mistake did she make?

"Why, father?"

"There is no obligation to explain."

"But you suddenly change your words!"

"It's also my right."

A father who declares without even looking.

Yeah, he don't have to.

The invincible Duke of Addis. A descendant of a great paladin who has defended humanity from the Southern Continent for over a thousand years against the Black Fog.

Alessandro Addis, the continent's strongest warrior, said to be powerful enough to be comparable to the Paladins of the Dark Continent.

He was said to give even the King a handful, and was a strong man who had many right in his hands since he was born. He is a person who does not even need anyone's consent.

But,

"Father..."

Kanna was overcome by a feeling of despair that seemed to leave her mouth empty. No mater how much she think about it, she can't figure it out what she said wrong. What was it that bothered him? What?

"I can't get a divorce without father's permission. Are you telling me to live while suffering in Valentino again?"

"There is no need to go back to Valentino."

"Yes?"

"Stay in this house unless otherwise instructed."

No need to go back to Valentino? Laughter come out. Kanna can't keep up with the flow of the conversation.

Unlike Kanna who couldn't find her mind as if she was swept away by a tidal wave. Alessandro spoke leisurely enough to be boring.

"You cannot leave without my permission. Don't even dream of moving to Yalden Kingdom."

'Oh, I see.'

It was then that Kanna seemed to know what her father wanted.

'Hope is trying to torture me.'

He wants to see Kanna frantically seeking permission for a divorce.

'You'd hate to see me, do you want to see me suffer enough to put up with it?'

Her father probably want to send her to the end of the world. He didn't miss an opportunity to harassed her. Thinking this far Kanna finally realize her mistake.

'To say that living in the Kingdom of Yalden is a wish is a mistake.'

Her father doesn't want her to be happy. It is impossible to see the hated daughter happinnes comes true.

'Okay. I keep forgetting how much my father hated me.'

What should she say? Numerous words of resentment and persuasion lingered in her mouth, but her tongue was stiff and did not move.
