It was 11 in the morning, Han shin lee and seung keun hyuk was sitting on the sofa that was in the middle of hall of royal palace. In front of them was sitting his lawyer .He placed the divorce paper in front of them on the table that he prepared last night, when His highness called him.

Atmosphere was heavy,Seung keun hyuk gave the papers to han shin lee first for signing.

Last night she didn't sleep ,she remembered all the incidents after marriage ,whatever her husband did to her.She was already set her mind for divorce. It was a bold decision for her,she remembered how she promised herself to always try to be a good wife to her husband but now all those promises were looking hollow.

She signed the paper without delay.

It was now his turn .

He too didn't sleep last night .His mind had a storm of emotions. He loved her,she was her obsession and possession, how could he divorce her when she was his only family,his 1st love !!

But

It was also true that he did everything to her that a husband should never do.He made her life miserable.
He was too determined to divorce her,to free her from himself, to free her from a monster .

He too signed paper without delay.

A tear escaped her eyes ,her marriage was already hollowed due to all his deeds but still that one thread that was binding them together was now broken.

She expected him still that he would be a good husband from now ,she was still thinking may be he would make her believe that he would never abuse her but he divorced her without thinking twice.

He saw her crying,it broke his heart, he wanted to hug her so that her pain could be relieved but" you are the reason for all her pain"his heart was shouting.

Lawyer told han shin lee that she is offered half of Seung 's asset by His royal highness Seung keun hyuk but she completely refused his offer saying she doesn't need anything from him but due to his several insistence ,she accepted only 5% of his royal highness asset as alimony but still it was that amount that was enough for survival of her next seven generations.

She looked all over the room where she somehow started loving him, where she conceived her four children but this was the same place where he raped her ,abused her and she lost her four children .She put her wedding ring on the table and took just her certificates but lawyer provided her credit card .It was all seung keun hyuk decision.

She was now saying good byee to every staffs, they were crying .

Head maid wan put her hands on han shin lee hand and nobbed as if she was trying to give her strength for her new journey.
One of maids said" this palace would be lonely without you your highness ".

Han shin lee smiled and said "I am now only han shin lee Kim and soon this palace would have a new her highness,people come and go but their places never remains empty".
Her sentence had a great meaning.

She said good byee and for the last time she looked all over the palace .This palace has snathched her many things .She was looking as if she was capturing every places in her mind .She remembered looking at the door from where she entered 1st time after marriage,how she entered with her husband after marriage with a no. Of promises and expectations .

Her tears were still on her chicks escaping from her eyes,she glanced for once more, turning back from the door as if her eyes were looking for someone who was not present there.

Driver was opening the door for her when she said
"No ,not from now jang,keep this for new mistress ".

She stood on the side of the road and sat in a taxi leaving the place for a new journey.

From the window seung keun hyuk was looking at her every moves.He didn't want to see her leaving the same palace where she entered with him with thousands of hopes that he broke one by one.
He was in his bar drinking wine ,that night he drank several bottles as if his reason of living left him and he want to die and slept on sofa ,lonely .

Han shin lee too cried in the taxi keeping handkerchief on her mouth so that no one can hear her cries.

That day a couple separated after only 14 months of their marriage.

Seung keun hyuk told lawyer to keep this news hidden so nobody knew that now royal couple were divorced.
