I'm Divorcing My Tyrant Husband
Chapter 11 - A toppled tea table in the overturned law
"Duchess Seliman?"'
It was the first time I heard. Looking at what I've never seen in the original, it seemed to be an extra that doesn't have much weight in the original.
I flipped the invitation back and forth.
On the paper with colorful prints, emerald ink was written in neat handwriting, saying that you were invited to a small tea party.
Weeks have passed since I was possessed, and this was the first invitation to me during that time.
'Why did the Duchess Seliman send me an invitation?'
After being possessed, i collected information about Robelia in several ways, and according to the documents, Duchess Seliman was not a relative of Robelia.
'If you are not a relative, the next possibility that comes to mind.....'
Maybe it was Robelia's friend.
Although Duchess Seliman has never appeared in the original novel, Robelia was not a heroine but just one of the supporting roles anyway.
It's not strange to not appear as a supporting actor's friend.
I pondered over this invitation.
'If Duchess Seliman were Robelia's friend, it would be weird that Robelia's personality suddenly changed 180 degrees, but it would be even worse if she suddenly ignored her friend.'
Last time I went to the library, I looked up how the Empire treats insanity.
And the conclusion was usually'burned because it was considered to be possessed by the demon'.
sHe had to be good at tightrope walking since she decided to change her personality. My goal is to get a divorce, not to be burned for being mentally ill.
'Because I'm a little curious about why Duchess Seliman invited me even if I wasn't her friend.'
Even if a divorce was planned, it wasn't always the best option.
There is more vivid information than can be found by asking the maids or searching through books in the library.
'And the ladies' tea party is one of the best places to get such vivid information.'
Thinking so, I decided to accept the invitation of Duchess Seliman.
On the day of the tea party.
"See the Holy Companion of the Sun, the Undying Moon, the Empress."
The moment I entered the Duke's Hall, the ladies who had come first stood up and greeted me.
I glanced at them with an arrogant gaze.
It was the first time to meet anyone outside the palace, except designers, as I have stayed at the palace all this time.
I came here was to find out the relationship between Robelia and Duchess Seliman, and the second was to get information about society.
'It would be better to be vigilant appropriately. Even more in a situation where you don't know if they are enemies or not.'
Duchess Seliman, who I met in person, looked the oldest here, about in her late 40s.
'Whether it's by title or age, it's safe to ȧssume that she's the most influential person here.'
I was personally escorted to my seat by the Duchess. The Duchess and two other ladies were sitting at the table, and one seat was empty.
'Who's the one person who hasn't arrived yet?'
The ladies of the same table talked to me.
"It's a really beautiful dress, Your Majesty. You look great."
"Really. The alluring wine color seems to stand out from your Majesty's flawless white skin."
There is no such thing as clothes or weather as the material of a small talk with proper courtesy.
At the time when I was trying to properly take over their strange words....
"It's a really luxurious dress."
Duchess Seliman's seemingly insignificant remarks cracked the friendly atmosphere.
"Dear Duchess....."
The eyes of the ladies, who seemed to be embarrassed, were unstable.
However, the Duchess just sipping black tea as if what was the problem.
And as soon as I heard that, I knew it.
'Duchess Seliman, you're not in a very friendly relationship with Robelia.'
Without basic knowledge of the empire's aristocratic speech, it would have been impossible to notice.
After being possessed, I read as many books as possible to adapt here.
According to a law of etiquette read at that time, the story of "money" was treated as very private and vulgar among the nobility of the Empire.
Thus, at the aristocracy's party, the story of money was treated as a taboo. Even stories such as "How much is this?" and "It looks expensive."
Under such circumstances, it is easy to say that you have to talk about the price range of the dress.
'Your dress is very luxurious. (only the dress.)'
It was not a compliment, but a word that could be interpreted as something that was out of your fountain.
That's why the other ladies were embarrassed.
'And a mȧturė duchess in her 40s, not even a child, could have written this without knowing the basic etiquette.'
Therefore, my conclusion was one.
From the first meeting, Duchess Seliman was not a good person to Robelia.
I swallowed a smile. The Duchess was looking down on Robelia completely.
'There is no one who respects robelia in this damn country.'
The eldest daughter of the Duke Blanchett, who was once a family contributing to the nation is now all ruined.
How easy would it be for other people to see Robelia, who has never used her power or even showed up in society even after she rose to the enormous position of empress.
have a great deal of power in one's hands. However, those who cannot use their power properly cannot be feared.
Rather, it seems to be a more desirable prey than anyone else.
'It's annoying, but you're going to overturn the prize and smash it? Shall I sprinkle even tea?'
I'm sorry to say that but I'm not the original Robelia.
A good idea came to my mind when I was thinking about how to give her a blow to her face.
'If you feed it in a noble way, you think I'm a hillbilly who hasn't mastered the aristocratic way of speaking.'
It is not strange to have such a misunderstanding. That's how much Robelia's been cut off from the outside world.
However, this is a person who ate enough of the modern Korean society, which is much different from the social sphere of the nobility with high heels under the table. Ropan's knowledge, which i have read countless times, is a bonus. note: Ropan = a Romance Fantasy.
I opened the fan with a crackling sound and covered my mouth.
"Well, it's from Winston Mystics boutique. There are so many designs for me. I just choose from among them."
On the faces of the embarrassed opponents, my eyes drew a favorable line over the fan.
Before my thinning eyes, Duchess Seliman's face was drained of blood and reddened.
Winston Mystics is one of the capital's most promising boutiques, where all the high-ranking ladies lined up.
But, like the Charlotte & Collins boutique, all of the best designs here have been wiped out.
And as soon as I faced her, I recognized her. She was wearing a class B design dress from Winston Mystics, which I threw away without choosing.
Of course, it's class B, Winston Mystics, so it was worth a fortune, and most aristocrats would be envious....
Sitting across from her, the problem is that I am wearing the best design hidden for special-A-class guests at Winston Mystics.
The Duchess seemed to have realized the meaning of my words just by bringing up the word 'Winston Mystics'.
Perhaps she tried to show off her influence in front of the other ladies, and tried to feed me, but she didn't know what to do with it.
"Ah..... Hmm, hmm. Well, I need to make sure that the makeup is okay..."
The Duchess was ruined in her seat with an obvious excuse.
Well, the main task of the party host is to manage the whole party rather than sit down and chat. Perhaps for the time being, it will be difficult to see her again.
'You shouldn't have started a fight if you can't talk.'
That's when I thought so and picked up Eclair and put it in my mouth.
Now, there is a face that even feels familiar.
"I see Your Majesty the Queen."
As if the greeting was familiar, Aisha smiled brightly and shook her hand.
"Haha, no problem. Sit down, sit down."
Wearing a white dress like a wedding with black hair on, she looked as white and innocent as a goddess of snow. It made me think the heroine is the heroine.
However, despite her beauty, I had no choice but to feel a distinct sense of incompatibility.
'These humans, they're ignoring me.'
According to imperial courtesy, if a higher person sits together, when a lower person comes, rises up and does not greet.
It would be awkward if only the other people got up and only the highest person sat down, so this is a courtesy to consider the high people.
"Huh? Her Majesty, to meet you in a place like this! It's really nice to see you."
Aisha sits across from me with a friendly smile. It was the only last empty seat on this table.
'Hmm.'
It was obvious that somebody's bad intentions went into getting the two of us to sit at the same table.
It would not matter if the empress and the queen were on good terms, but it was famous in society that the empress and the queen were not very close terms. It was an open secret that the empress has been cold-hearted by the emperor since Aisha's appearance.
Really, wouldn't Aisha's breath fit in that we're both sitting at the same table?
Only then did the last piece of the puzzle fit in my head. That's why Duchess Seliman invited me even though she didn't know Robelia very well.
'I think Aisha asked Duchess Seliman to bring me and herself together'
"Oh, my queen. That's a nice style."
"I'm telling you, the white one looks really good on you. It's like a picture."
"Ehehe, thank you. I was so excited about today, so I thought a lot about what to wear."
Likewise, the conversation is mainly conducted by Aisha. Probably, most of the people gathered here seemed to be close to Aisha.
'You must have called me to this place to press my nose.'
Robelia was originally not even a competitor to Aisha, but I've had a number of notable behaviors lately.
In particular, I slapped the Marquis on the cheek, such as the incident that the emperor wrapped her or the event that the emperor presented her with clothes, which was enough to make her feel a sense of crisis.
In this situation, Aisha wanted to check me and solidify the difference in influence between me and myself.
'In the end, I came into the tiger's den without knowing anything.'
she would have identified the relationship between Duchess Seliman and Robelia, and felt that information, which was one of the original purposes, did not have to be obtained from such a place unless she knew it was Aisha's den.
'I don't need to be here anymore.'
I just give a little snorted. And then....
I leaned back in my seat and gave strength to my legs then kick the tea table over.
Crunch! Clink!
"Oh my goodness!"
"Oh, my God!"
The tea table, which has only three trendy legs, moved on very easily when it shook the balance. Everything was poured on the carpet, including three-tier plates, colorful tea and desserts that were on top of it.
Pure white bone china tea cups and teapots shattered, and red black tea stains on the wool carpet.
The faces of the ladies became pale like a sheet of paper due to my absurd behavior. Some people almost seemed to be on the verge of fainting.
However, I had no intention of showing compassion.
"It seems that the top and bottom of the law is reversed in this mansion, so the tea table is just changed up and down accordingly."
I twisted my red rouge lips up.
"Is there any problem?"
It was the first time I heard. Looking at what I've never seen in the original, it seemed to be an extra that doesn't have much weight in the original.
I flipped the invitation back and forth.
