Duchess Viasse Is Back

Chapter 4

"The weather is bright, it's perfect to relax with a cup of tea." Isabella smiles. He looked lovingly at the man sitting opposite him. "Isn't that so, Duke?"

Aldis was silent without any intention of responding. His blue eyes aimed at the princess sharply. He was fed up with the pleasantries that the woman said.

"Tell me what your purpose is" he said cynically. "My time is wasted."

Isabella just smiled meaningfully. He also played his cup of tea with a small golden spoon. The look in his eyes changed drastically, originally displaying seductive intentions now becoming ambitious.

"First of all, congratulations on your marriage, Duke."

Aldis fell silent to the congratulations from the princess, guessing what the woman's plans were this time.

On the other hand, Isabella gave a small grin. He covered his lips and pretended to be surprised. "Ups. I mean, congratulations on the marriage of his contract, Duke."

'Oh.'

Aldis smiled wickedly inwardly, while Isabella seemed happy as if she had just won a game.

"So?"

"So, instead of continuing with your contracts, wouldn't it be better for the Duke to get married officially? Well, of course with another woman?"

Isabella tilted her head slightly and chuckled. He plays with his hair and looks at Aldis in love.

"For example, with me?"

"Dreams."

Aldis replied quickly and briefly. He immediately stood up from his seat. His sight turned deadly.

"Withyou?"

Aldis even used informal language, a sign that he was angry.

"Ha, you're not even comparable to my Freya, the 3rd Princess. Look at your limits."

"Oh, huh?" Isabella still doesn't care. He stays in his stance. "What are you gonna do? You dare hurt me?"

"Of course."

For a moment, Isabella was horrified when she heard it. The woman immediately normalized her expression.

"Umm... But how, huh? It seems like soon the rumors about you and me will spread." A smile of victory rose on Isabella's face. "How will your wife react when she hears it?"

Is correct. This was the purpose of Isabella summoning Duke Viasse to her palace garden with a shared 'tea time' alibi. In fact, he placed a servant in a corner of the park and a famous cameraman in the empire. Both will be the source of rumors and scandals.

The Phireum Empire, which upheld the honorary status of a woman, strongly forbade divorce or infidelity.

That meant that the rumors between her, who was the princess, and Duke Viasse, the man who was the husband of another person, would be the hottest topic inviting people to talk.

Isabella is desperate. He does not even care if it will be labeled bad by people because it tempts people's husbands. It was because his father, the ruler of the Phireum, would definitely defend him no matter what.

So, as long as there was the support of the ruler that everyone respected, Isabella did not fear anything.

That's how he thinks.

Until finally, Aldis smiled disdainfully instead of showing fear.

'Huh?'

Isabella frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

'Shouldn't he panic a little for fear of being hated by his wife? Later rumors will say he cheated, must have his wife hated him, right? Was he not afraid of losing that woman?'

Pensive for a moment, Isabella glared happily.

'Or maybe the woman wasn't important to him?'

Insane thinking jolted Aldis with an unexpected statement.

"You want to follow in your mother's footsteps huh, 3rd Princess?"

Deg.

Isabella's hands were clenched. His purple pupils trembled, looking in disbelief at Aldis.

"You...."

Aldis shrugged his shoulders. "I'm confused to have to keep this a secret forever or―" Her blue eyes glanced at the brunette. "Should I spread it? Looks like it'll be interesting."

"W-Do you know the consequences?" Isabella is threatening. He growled furiously. "You can be put to death!" screams screeching.

"Oh, huh?" Aldis remained indifferent, imitating the behavior of the princess earlier. "The events of 'your birth' can make me a reason to rebel."

"Duke!"

"I don't care if I have to destroy this empire because there are people who dare to interfere with my married life."

The man then allowed his clothes and tidied his silver hair. "Princess 3, you are so bad to be compared to my wife" he mocked.

After saying such poisonous words, Aldis leisurely walked out of the princess' palace, leaving the roaring Isabella behind him.

...―•♡•― ...

'Ck. A bastard like him dares to be so insolent to me.'

Aldis propped up his chin while looking at the scenery outside his carriage. Now he's on his way home.

The birth of the 3rd Princess unknown to people was the worst disgrace for the Phireum Empire.

The Empire did not prohibit marriage between a divorced person and an unmarried person.

The fairytale is that Emperor Phireum Edson II married the former queen, the mother of the 3rd Princess.

Emperor Phireum Edson I died of a contagious disease at the time, and because the successor to the throne was still very small to become emperor, the nobles retained the previous queen as regent of the Crown Prince.

In the midst of the grieving event, the younger brother of the previous emperor proposed to the queen and was willing to father the Crown Prince. He also promised to give the throne to the Crown Prince when he reached adulthood.

Considering the imperial blood flowing to the man, the nobles agreed to the proposal thinking, 'So they only marry politically'.

The wedding that was called the 'sacred wedding' at that time was also held luxurious.

People talk about the kindness of Emperor Edson II, without knowing what kind of relationship the two men were 'before him'.

Long before the queen's husband died, the queen and the current emperor were in an illicit relationship often called 'cheating'.

The result of their affair was the 3rd Princess, the favorite child of Emperor Edson II.

'From the first husband produced a son and two daughters, then from the second husband produced a daughter. Really great queen in childbirth.'

Along with that line of ridicule, Aldis smiled obliquely.

'Luckily Dad told me the secrets of this country.'

Before Duke Viasse decided to travel around the continent with his wife, he told the secret story to his son, Aldis, so that later the story can be a shield when Emperor Edson II arbitrarily against his power or threaten the power of the Viasse family.

And evidently, the story was effectively used against the 3rd Princess.

'If the old man was angry when I threatened his daughter and attacked me, I wouldn't hesitate to strike back.'

As long as it was pensive in his mind, the luxurious horse carriage had already entered the front courtyard of the Viasse residence. The towering white castle welcomed the arrival of the horse carriage.

After getting off the train, Aldis is surprised by Ivan waiting for him at the entrance of the castle. His adjutant seemed happy to see him.

"Mr Duke!" Ivan approached Aldis and smiled kindly. He gave a letter in his hand to his master, not forgetting to smile. "There's a letter for you."

Aldis took a quick glance, intending to leave, but the picture of the stamp on the letter stopped him. He immediately took the letter and opened it. His heart was racing, feeling a happy feeling welling up in his heart.

As he opened the letter, a smile was on Aldis's face. Now he showed his smile so blatantly that Ivan glared in disbelief.

[For my dear husband.]

Aldis covered his face when he read the first sentence. Her ears are red. He folded the letter again and went into his room, ignoring Ivan, who watched his master shame.

Arriving at the room, Aldis immediately unfolded the letter and reread the first sentence in the letter.

[For my dear husband.]

"Argh, I'm going crazy. She was very sweet," Aldis murmured as he scooped his face rough. Imagining his wife smiling while writing letters made him beat instead of play.

[You will be happy to hear this news. The work of exterminating monsters is almost complete, me and the other priests just need to purify the areas that the monsters are attacking. That means I'll be home soon!]

[You must miss me a lot, right? Hum, you must be sad because no one reads fairy tales again every night.]

Aldis laughed softly when he read it. He admitted that his wife's storytelling ability was very good to make him sleep well every night.

[By the way, you weren't troublemaking as long as I was gone, were you?]

Aldis thought, then shook his head. He does his activities as usual.

[Oh yeah, you know? I have a crazy story. Um, sure you're not mad?]

'What does....'

Aldis frowned confusedly, then as he read the next sentence, his eyes bulged fiercely. The letter in his hand instantly tangled as he squeezed it strongly. Fires of fury lit up in those pair of blue eyes.

[There was someone who gave me roses. He's man. Tall and muscular. Looks like a knight. Did I open her up so much that she didn't see my wedding ring? Hye.]

"Damn it! How dare that baj*ng*n approach my wife! Find dead!"

Aldis swore at the man who approached his wife repeatedly. He was already planning to follow his wife to Cherise― City where Freya was tasked with exterminating monsters. However, his steps were stifled as a ball of white light shot out and floated in front of his face.

The spring! Zgp!

It was a magic used to communicate over long distances.

"Hey."

Deg.

The furious face of Aldis changed completely into a twinkle.

"Freya?!"

"Sign the documents that are coming today. That's our divorce papers."

That instant also the world of Aldis seemed to collapse.
