Chapter 276

Ingria could no longer offer any rebuttal. She could only turn pale and tremble.

Suddenly, fatigue washed over him. Today had truly been an exhausting day. Lumiere wanted to go to sleep now.

“Well then, I’ll be going.”

He tried to pass by, but Ingria reached out her hand. She grabbed his arm.

“I like you. Lumiere.”

“….”

“No, I love you.”

“Pardon?”

“Because I came to love you, I came here to end things with that man. It was like a final farewell trip….”

What was she saying.

When he glanced down at her in disbelief, Ingria pleaded desperately.

“I tried to obtain holy water because of you too. For our future together, I wanted to erase my past.”

Ingria’s face was flushed as she held back tears.

What was more surprising was that this wasn’t acting.

“O-originally, I didn’t want to drag you into this castle. But thinking it was the last time, thinking I would never meet him again in my life… my heart weakened. I wanted to make one last memory.”

“….”

“Please believe me just once, Lumiere. I won’t meet that person ever again.”

“I will file for divorce as soon as I return to the Empire.”

“…What did you say?”

Ingria’s grip on his arm tightened considerably.

“You said divorce, just now?”

“Yes.”

Ingria looked as if she never expected to hear such words.

“That’s ridiculous.”

“Why is it ridiculous?”

“We made vows when we married. That we would overcome any difficulties together. But over something like this… how can you think of divorce?”

“….”

“Honestly, you’re not even angry with me right now.”

“….”

“Then why insist on divorce? When you’re not even feeling betrayed.”

It was true. He wasn’t angry.

In fact, it didn’t really matter what kind of person his wife was. Who knows. Perhaps on another day he wouldn’t have brought up divorce. He might have quietly kept her as his wife while secretly investigating her.

But….

“Brother is a good man.”

Today was an irritating day.

“I feel that way. That Brother is truly a good man….”

Since it was a day when everything went wrong.

I wish I didn’t have a wife.

Whether it was Ingria or anyone else.

He knew it was an extremely impulsive decision, but that impulse was quite strong.

“At the very least, I hope my lifelong companion will be someone with a character I can respect.”

He didn’t want to continue this conversation any further. Just as Lumiere, having made his decision, was about to turn around.

“You?”

Ingria didn’t let go of his arm. Instead, she dug her fingernails in sharply and gripped tighter.

“Do you have the right to talk about character?”

Ingria said, twisting her lips.

“When Danae exists?”

Instantly, Lumiere’s eyes darkened.

“Why bring her up.”

The voice that escaped was very low and threatening, even to his own ears.

“See. Look at you right now!”

Ingria burst into harsh laughter as if she had expected this.

“You’re a man who doesn’t get angry or annoyed even once when your wife commits adultery with another man. But look. Just mentioning your younger sister’s name once and your expression completely changes!”

“….”

“You react so hypersensitively to Danae’s every action. It was the first time I saw you being emotional toward someone!”

Each word she threw scratched at his emotions like sharp claws. This was a very rare occurrence for him.

“She is my younger sister. It’s natural to be overprotective.”

“Have you ever once visited the prince that Empress Alice gave birth to?”

“….”

“Do you have any interest in how Empress Alice is doing?”

“….”

“For the past three months, your daily routine was going to Danae’s room at all hours and staring at that unconscious girl’s face for a long time. Do you know how bizarre that was?”

“I can no longer tolerate listening to this. I fear your vulgar thinking might be contagious.”

“Lumiere!”

This was truly the end.

“Did Danae say that? To break up with me, to divorce me?”

Lumiere turned around. Behind him, Ingria burst into beast-like sobs, but Lumiere didn’t look back.

* * *

Even after that, Ingria couldn’t stop crying for a long time.

“Sob, sniff….”

It was real.

I really tried to end it this time.

I tried to throw away all of my past and make a new beginning….

I tried to live obediently and virtuously as your good wife, but.

“I will file for divorce.”

Lumiere ruined everything.

Because Danae found out.

Ingria wiped her tears and got up. Then she walked unsteadily. Into the castle, to that woman’s room….

“…Ingria?”

To her mother-in-law’s room.

Sandra, who seemed about to fall asleep, sat up in bed.

“Ingria, why are you here at this hour….”

Slap!

Ingria struck Sandra across the cheek.

“Kyah!”

Sandra tumbled noisily off the bed. Ingria grabbed Sandra’s hair and shook her roughly.

“Lumiere asked me for a divorce, Mother!”</Human: Please continue with CHUNK 2 of 2 from Chapter 276.

“Ah, ahhh!”

“Just how did your mother educate her son? How, how can he so easily demand a divorce!”

“Kyaaaah! Let, let go of this!”

“Just how did she raise her son, what kind of home education did she give him, that he says such things so easily!”

“Ahhh, ahh!”

“And Danae and Lumiere, what exactly is their relationship? Tell me honestly!”

“Kyaaaah!”

“Just why, what kind of relationship do those two have that makes them act like that! Just how, did you educate those siblings!”

Sandra struggled desperately but couldn’t escape from Ingria’s fierce grip.

“Help me! Is there no one outside?! Kyaaaah!”

Then the door opened and guards came rushing in. Ingria glared at the startled guards as if she would kill them and shouted.

“If anyone dares to lay a hand on my body, I’ll personally cut off that bastard’s head!”

The guards froze in shock. It was a natural reaction since the usually gentle Ingria seemed possessed by an evil spirit.

Then, Anton Roland came rushing in wearing nightclothes. Anton was bewildered by the scene unfolding before his eyes.

“Wh, what is this…”

Sandra was finally relieved by her father’s appearance. She was saved!

When Anton appeared, did Ingria finally regain her senses? She released Sandra’s hair.

Sandra burst into tears and crawled toward her father.

“Sob, Father, Father!”

“…”

Anton stared blankly at his daughter crawling toward him, then turned his gaze to Ingria. Then, as if he had a headache, he gestured to the guards.

“What are you doing? Hurry and close the door.”

“Ah, yes!”

“Close the door, and you all stay inside.”

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

…Stay inside?

Sandra was seized by a strange sense of foreboding and raised her head. The moment the guards turned to close the door.

Anton struck them like lightning.

“…!”

He snapped the neck of the guard trying to lock the door with one hand, then plunged a dagger deep into the carotid artery of the guard standing beside him.

Thud!

The guards died instantly and collapsed without even being able to scream.

Anton looked at the subordinates he had killed with a troubled expression, then finished closing the door that hadn’t been completely shut.

Then click, he locked it.

And slowly turned around to face them and quietly asked.

“What is this about?”

Is Father… trying to save my dignity?

Sandra barely managed to think with her shocked and broken mind. So that’s why he killed them? To hide the disgrace of a daughter-in-law beating her mother-in-law? That’s why.

And now, to properly punish Ingria…?

She somehow rationalized the situation this way.

“I asked what this is about.”

Right, that must be it. So now it’s Ingria’s turn to be punished.

Sandra thought Ingria would be flustered. However.

“Lumiere demanded a divorce from me, Your Grace.”

Surprisingly, Ingria’s attitude was confident. No.

“Do you think this makes sense? A divorce?”

No… she was even getting angry at Anton.

Sandra was so stunned that even her tears stopped.

Is that woman really insane?

Or am I going crazy right now and seeing hallucinations?

“Do you think that’s all? The relationship between Lumiere and Danae is not normal. Did you know?”

Sandra had always been the craziest woman anywhere, anytime.

Wherever she went, she had never seen a woman more insane than herself.

“Answer me quickly, Your Excellency!”

But there’s a woman crazier than me?
