Chapter: 3

“Divorce me.”

That afternoon, Kaizen, who became emperor, told Astelle, who became his empress.

“This marriage was what my late father wanted. I didn’t want to marry you for a single moment. So you’d better clean up without further delay.”

It was an extremely concise and indifferent glance as if he was clearing up the remains of his deceased father.

“You never loved me anyway, right?”

“……”

At that moment, Astelle thought of the necklace that was hanging around her neck.

After meeting Kaizen for the first time at the age of 10, she never took off the necklace he gave her.

The formal letters were exchanged while waiting for him to come back from war. She remembers every word and sentence they exchanged lightly at banquets.

It was time to face the sad reality.

It was all memorable for her, but not for the man in front of her.

Now she can fully understand Kaizen’s intention to have the child slowly last night as if he were considerate of her.

From the beginning, he was thinking of abandoning Astelle.

It was the moment when everything she had believed in for 10 years broke.

Looking at his cold red eyes, which had not a speck of affection, Astelle decided to tell the lie that he wanted.

For the man who was the reason for her life until she was 20, but only a husband for a day.

“Yes, it is.”

I didn’t love you.

That’s how the one-day empress life of Astelle, made the record for being the shortest empress in history, ended.

***

As soon as the new emperor was crowned, the empress was expelled.

It was something that caused a great stir in the empire.

Originally, the royal family could not divorce easily.

If one side opposes the divorce, they will be taken to court and face a lengthy legal battle.

Even so, most divorces do not happen.
