It didn't turn out like anticipated last time.

Why isn't he giving in?

From his point of view, shouldn't he say, that's right, when I ask for a divorce?

Because it's a loveless marriage to avoid the emperor's eyes anyway.

But, why are you holding onto me?

In his point of view, I'm not important.

I'm stuck and I'm going crazy.

All I have is a title. I'm literally a beggar's daughter, the dreary, third daughter of a baron.

Abella, the owner of my body, the one who has nothing but her beautiful appearance, who's like her greedy family, wanted to seize this opportunity and take advantage of her in law's family.

Now she gets to wear beautiful clothes and has a duchess title.

It's only thanks to him.

No, it's all thanks to the emperor to be exact.

Because of him, the count managed to bring in Abella, the baroness, who is more amicable in place of his own daughter, and avoided the emperor's suspicion.

Thank you very much, your majesty for treating the Diago family as a thorn in the eye.

The marriage process gives me a headache so I push away the thought.

Maybe that's why Charles made a condition when he first married Abella.

'I'll divorce you whenever you want. With a lot of alimony.'

It's kind of an insurance for a loveless marriage.

Of course, frankly speaking, because one, Charles' appearance, two is for his wealth, three is for his ability, and fourth is for his charisma, Abella, who has been in love with him all along, couldn't have said anything about divorce.

You learn to take things for yourself too late.

Abella's desire for power becomes enormous as the novel progresses. It's as if she intends to make amends for her poor past.

More and more, such insurance from Charles' is meaningless.

There are so many things you can get as a wife of a duke who controls the empire, but not as the baroness. If I give it up, am not I being crazy?

Honestly, I think the same thing as others.

If only the ending wasn't death.

Otherwise, it's the same ending as Abella's.

As he said, there's no man better than him in the Empire.

Charles is a little taller than I am, and his shoulders are wide, and broad open like the Pacific Ocean, and his chest muscles, after catching a glimpse through his open shirt, definitively stimulates a woman's desire.

Plus, he has soft hair and long fingers.

Is it because he held a sword that even the callus between his long and pretty fingers is wonderful?

Plus, he has strong facial features—

Ah, no. I don't know.

Yes, frankly, it's true that Charles is as handsome as he said he is.

But what can handsomeness and arrogance do?

To acquire such a man with perfect outer appearance, she has to give up an important thing.
