Today's Goal is a Safe Divorce!

“Is there anything I should pay attention to when I go to the Grand Duchy?”

There were certain rules that each family had to follow. Even in County Caitlyn, there were rules. That’s right, don’t treat Elysia like a miss as she was the illegitimate child. And the Countess should be the main focus of the family.

“Anything to pay attention to?”

“Yes, I don’t know anything about the Grand Duchy yet.”

Somehow, she had been wondering about the day when she would enter the Grand Duchy. To have to walk it on her own feet when she had struggled to avoid it…. Elysia’s expression darkened at the complicated feeling. She had never left the County. She was worried if she would be able to adjust to the new place, and most of all, she was afraid if she would get along well with him.

Perhaps when she wakes up the next day, her neck and body will be separated…

“If there’s anything I need to pay attention to, please let me know.”

However, now it was a great development. Damon and her were alone in an enclosed space, and she managed to talk without fainting. She wasn’t completely intimidated, but at least it wasn’t to the point of wanting to faint.

“There is nothing the wife should pay attention to.”

“What?”

“There is nothing the wife should pay attention to in the Grand Duchy.”

When he said there was nothing to pay attention to, Elysia frowned slightly. There was no way there was nothing to pay attention to. She remembered that there was even the Grand Duchy’s secret. Is he deliberately not letting her know and waiting for her to make a mistake? If so, it made sense.

She swore that she would never make a mistake and that she would live a quiet life.

“Yes, I understand.”

She was wrong, too, to want to hear from Damon what she had to pay attention to. If she always takes care of her appearance and doesn’t have any questions about the Grand Duchy, it’s probably the only way to survive for a long time. It would have been better for her life to know nothing.

“I must have made the wife misunderstood again.”

“What do you mean, misunderstood?”

“Why don’t you listen to what I say?”

Elysia could not figure out what Damon was talking about right now. Did she misunderstand…

“There is nothing for Elysia to be careful about in the Grand Duchy. You are free to do whatever you want.”

She was even more afraid of being told to do whatever she wanted. It would have been better off pointing out what to pay attention to.

“It doesn’t matter even if you redo all the Grand Duchy.”

“I, I see….”

Elysia just nodded her head with a trembling face. She will never overturn the Grand Duchy. She was going to be as quiet as possible without a presence. While she faithfully performed only the role of Grand Duchess that Damon wanted.

“You don’t believe it at all.”

“No! I believe it!”

How can she say she doesn’t trust Damon? Elysia shook her head passionately, stating that she believed in him. She had not yet started a proper marriage, and she already had a foreboding that the road ahead would be difficult.

From now on, she will have to please Damon every time like this. To live.

“The Grand Duchy has a lot of money to rot, so you can spend it to your heart’s content.”

How much money does she have to spend to get a divorce? She had no other thoughts than this. He was the one who even said that it was okay to buy the Imperial Palace. It probably won’t be enough even if she spends astronomical amounts of money. The first divorce method seemed a long way to go.

‘If this is the case, should I do both?’

The last resort was ending it with death, so she had no choice but to do luxury and affair.

“Wife? Elysia?”

“Ah… yes! Did you call?”

But as she looked at Damon’s face, an affair seemed impossible. Can she have an affair with someone over that face? She had already been exposed to his handsome looks. There’s no way she could see other men’s faces.

Why was he unnecessarily handsome?

“No need to worry about anything.”

“Yes.”

No need to worry… It was like going bare into the den of ferocious beasts. Her whole body stiffened from tension, and her legs in the dress were trembling. Contrary to her heart, the carriage headed towards the Grand Duchy without stopping.

“Currently, there are not many employees in the Grand Duchy.”

“There are not many employees?”

She tilted her head at the fact that there weren’t many employees. If it was a Grand Duchy, it was the most noble family in the empire. It must have been bigger than anyone else’s, so she couldn’t understand why there weren’t many employees. Even County Caitlyn had numerous employees.

“We didn’t hire a lot of people because we didn’t really need it.”

She hasn’t seen it yet, but if the size of the carriage was already this size, the size of the Grand Duke’s castle would be even more enormous. To manage such a castle, at least a huge number of employees were required. Even if they hired only the minimum management personnel.

“The people the wife needs to pay attention to would be the butler and my lieutenant. And the wife’s direct maids.

“Understood.”

Hearing that the number of employees was small, Elysia realized that it was a pressure to stay quiet. From now on, she will only speak through the lieutenant and butler, and if she needs anything, order the maids.

“If there is something you don’t like, talk to the butler and change it.”

He told her, in a roundabout way, to never come to him and talk to him in person. It was fortunate as she wasn’t strong enough to speak to Damon right away either.

“I hope the wife will be pleased with the Grand Duchy.”

The carriage stopped at his word and the door opened. Damon seems to have known that he had reached the Grand Duke’s castle. When the door opened, there was a magnificent black castle. It was such a terrifying appearance that it would make her stomach ache just by looking at it.

‘Can I survive safely?’

The Grand Duke’s castle, which was daunting just by looking at it, was like a huge kingdom. The castle, covered in black, looked like something out of a horror movie. Was it supposed to be that scary in the first place?

“Wow….”

Elysia couldn’t keep her mouth shut at the scene, nothing but exclamation came out. Why is the atmosphere so eerie? Before she even went in, she was terrified of it already. Yes, it was like right before entering a haunted house.

It was a completely different atmosphere from County Caitlyn. Although the County had a large castle because they had a lot of money, they usually used bright colors. Now, it’s a black castle… It was a castle she had never seen or heard of. It was great to choose a color that no one would challenge because it wouldn’t look good.

“Welcome, Grand Duchess.”

Seeing the people lined up in front of the carriage and bowing their backs, Elysia was clueless, not knowing what to do.

“Ah, me too… I look forward to your kind cooperation.”

However, no matter how small the number of employees are here it seemed that it was not enough to say that all of them came out. Does it mean that she doesn’t even need a proper welcome? Elysia hid her bitterness and smiled. Although they didn’t welcome her, it was important to make a good impression.

“I am Sebastian, the butler in charge of the Grand Duchy.”

“Sebastian, nice to meet you.”

“Please treat me kindly.”

Sebastian looked very young to be a butler. Usually, the butlers of high-ranking nobles were older. People rarely employ young butlers. Even if there were young butlers, that would only happen when the butler position was inherited from generation to generation. And in that case, there was one more butler.

However, Sebastian, who is now talking in front of her, looked no more than two years older than her no matter how much she looked at him. He has auburn hair, playful corners of the mouth and freckles. The brown eyes shining with curiosity above all else showed his youth.

“I am Julia, the chief maid. I will be the closest to Your Grace.”

“Yes, Julia.”

“Please, be at ease with me.”

The chief maid, Julia, also looked young. She looked older than Sebastian, but she was younger than the average chief maid. Turns out there were a few maids behind Julia’s back. No way… These were the people who managed the whole castle?

Elysia brushed her absurd thoughts away, and she kept the smile on her face again. How can they manage such a large mansion with these people? It was absurd, even for her.

“I’m going to attend the bedroom with the two behind me.”

“I am Rachel.”

“My name is Chloe!”

Just by listening to the answer, she could guess that the two had opposite personalities. It didn’t matter who it was anyway, so Elysia nodded her head slightly.

“Currently, all the people in the castle have come out to greet you, but the people in the kitchen haven’t come out.”

“Is this all?”

“Yes.”

Elysia was surprised to hear that these people here were all the employees. She thought it wasn’t, but in the end, it was. The number of people who came here now was at most twenty people. They managed this huge castle with only twenty people? That was impossible. There were easily over twenty in the County alone. However, the County was less than half the size of the Grand Duke’s castle.

“Now let’s go inside.”

“Yes, yes….”

Damon wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and he moved the startled Elysia to enter. It was a dress with a design that exposed her shoulders, so she could feel his hands directly. With Damon’s unnecessary contact, her heart was totally not spared.

Seeing him put his hand on her shoulder, she saw the people in front of her gasping for breath. They were trying not to show it, but it was evident on their face. Those eyes that didn’t know how to stop and were fluttering. This appearance of their Master was new to them as well.
