Divorce Will Be Completed in 3 Seconds - Chapter 23

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself on the bed in my room.

“Phew.”

At the end… What was that?

It was a deadly weapon, even though I saw it in a flash.

‘What would have happened if I was right? ‘

Just thinking about it made me shiver.

The mercenaries carried deadly weapons.

If I had only touched it a little, I wouldn’t be okay.

“I’m so glad to hear that-“

“Ugh!”

I breathed a sigh of relief and was startled.

There was someone else on the bed besides me.

“Who are you?”

I looked at the little girl holding onto her belly, and something was unusual.

A thin gasp of breath and a groan.

The red blood seeped through the fingers and soaked into the sheets.

“Are you all right?”

– Ugh, I’m all right.

I’m familiar with the voice I hear.

Now that I think about it, the spirit is nowhere in sight.

Even though she always followed me…

The only thing I remembered was the terrible explosion that flew at me.

And my name was shouted by someone just before the magic was cast.

There was only one person who knew my name here.

‘Then, maybe…’

No. It couldn’t have been.

There’s no reason for the Spirit to be stabbed in my place.

And what I see now is a person.

‘How does a spirit become a human? It doesn’t make sense.’

The moment I tried to overcome such an unrealistic situation.

The girl turned her pale face toward me.

– Because you didn’t get hurt. That’s good, Rose.

The moment I heard the voice, I could no longer deny it.

‘The Spirit took the dagger in my place.’

Even at this moment, the blood was dripping red on the sheet.

It seemed dangerous to me who didn’t know much about medicine.

The voice of the spirit flashed by at that moment.

– Oh! Blood is dripping! Oh no. I’m going to die of excessive bleeding!

This time it was real.

That’s the moment my thoughts hit me.

I felt like I was losing my mind.

“Call the doctor right now!”

“Whoa! L-Lady Roselina?”

“Call the doctor! There’s an emergency patient!”

I opened the door and shouted again and again.

It was my first time seeing so much blood, so my legs lost strength.

A little later, I saw the doctor running from across the hall.

“Master.”

Morris stood before the Master with the heart of jumping into the fire of hell.

“The Duchess of Palesdon continues to outrun the Watchers.”

“Are you kidding me?”

The voice of Argention was indifferent, but the emotions contained in it were never light.

“Or do you mean Hennes’ discipline is broken?”

“No, Master”.

“It’s not funny either way.”

Morris bowed his head in a cold sweat.

“I didn’t expect the Duchess of Palesdon to have that ability.”

In fact, no one would have expected it.

That Roselina has an exceptional talent for getting rid of the guards I’ve attached to her.

When he was ordered to watch over Roselina for the first time, Morris did not expect to face difficulties.

“I’m sorry, Duchess Palesdon disappeared in an instant.”

When they first failed, it was considered a coincidence.

“I’m sorry, I think I’ve been caught. I’ve killed as many of them as I can, but what’s going on?”

“We have all lost sight of the Duchess of Palesdon.”

However, they failed every time they sent people.

Morris was forced to go out personally. When it comes to tracking, there was no one who could sense him except for his Master.

However, in the end, he also had to report the same results to the master.

I couldn’t believe I lost the Duchess of Palesdon right in front of me.

“Is there anything stranger than this?”

But, I swear, Morris had no idea what was going to happen right after.

“Then I’ll go myself.”

“What? The Master?”

The master came forward himself.

When Morris looked up, he had already left his seat.

“Ah.”

Morris, left alone, let out a vain sigh.

Argention arrived in the alley shortly after Roselina disappeared with a magic scroll.

His indifferent eyes scanned the alley.

The faint scent told me that Roselina was standing on this road.

‘You’ve already left.’

It was the moment he tried to bury himself in the shadow again.

“Damn it. I missed it!”

“We’re doomed now. We’re screwed!”

“It’s all because of James! When did you start spying?”

“I told you, it’s not like that! Do I have to poke your ear to understand!”

The mercenaries were blaming each other with thick curses.

Soon the target was changed to Roselina.

“It’s all because of her. I should have stabbed her and take the healing artifact.”

“Just run to her across the street. Then kill her.”

“I won’t leave her alone. Let’s make her a slave of Memento Mori.”

“Aha.”

The red eyes of the Argention turned into a gleam.

“Who will you make a slave of?”

“Who are you?”

“Hey, we’re in a bad mood, so don’t mess with us.”

“Yes, I’m not in the mood to play with a boy like you. Be thankful for your life, especially for today.”

Argention smiled with only one corner of his mouth pulled up.

“Who, who will you look after?”

“You should have understood me when I said it in a good-naturedly.”

Kuk!

James, who had been rushing with enthusiasm, fell flat on the head.

James was one of the best member in the mercenary corps.

“Come on, wait a minute.”

“Let’s get along with each other. Huh?”

Only then did the mercenaries step back, noticing that Argention’s skills were extraordinary.

“Tell me, who will you kill?”

“Agh!”

“Help me!”

The street was a dead end. There was nowhere else to escape.

Argention smiled lazily and took a step forward.

“Noisy.”

Soon the alley became quiet.

The Brighton mansion was more in chaos than ever.

The Duke’s birthday banquet was a reason for many people to come and go, but the reason for the commotion among the employees was…

“Lady Roselina stabbed a person.”

This rumor.

“Then Lady Roselina thought it through and called the doctor. I heard there was a lot of blood on both hands.”

“I knew one day that she would not be able to overcome her temper.”

“But I heard no one came out of the room? Then isn’t that dead?”

“Maybe she hasn’t come out of the room to cover it up!”

Whenever more than one maid gathered, the were busy talking about this.

Then there was a person who was pleased to hear the news.

“I like it very much.”

Elizabeth’s lips were long, and she laughed.

Roselina has set the scale for the banquet.

‘I suppose you were trying to get even more money.’

I didn’t expect her to be a thorn in my side!

The returned prodigal daughter stabbed a man and embezzled her family’s budget?

The more people participate in the banquet, the faster the rumor will spread.

‘The God, Helios, is holding my hand.’

It wasn’t just that.

These days, the number of meetings organized by those who hate Roselina is increasing day by day.

Elizabeth turned to the maid who had reported all this information.

“Right?”

“Yes, Madam.”

Antonia, who was quietly guarding the side, took a step closer and replied.

“What you say is all true, isn’t it?”

“Yes, Madam.”

“Yes, how could such a beautiful ball of luck come to me?”

Elizabeth smiled as she looked at Antonia politely answering.

I was so excited to see Antonia crying because she almost died because of Roselina.

‘No need for conciliation, and she immediately was on my side.’

For she had gone around cursing Roselina on her own, even if no one had asked her to.

“Roselina has been coming to see Leodor lately. What’s the reason?”

“The duke likes it when she tells him she’s come to visit him. It’s for flattery.”

“You’re mean, too. Is there anything else?”

“Yes. Every time she goes there, she just takes a nap. She even brought her own cushion and blanket on the sofa.”

Antonia complained, “I don’t know why she sleeps so much,” and made Elizabeth satisfied.

“I mean, it’s strange.”

But at once she frowned.

“Why does a child who is confined to her room come to Leodor every day? There must be another reason.”

“If you say otherwise…”

“I told you Roselina had stabbed a man. What if it was a practice for something else?”

“Heuk… Then, the next target is…”

I liked Antonia’s manner, too.

She doesn’t act presumptuously, and respond appropriately and quickly.

Elizabeth opened her fan and shook it gently.

“Yes, Roselina is trying to kill Leodor.”

“What shall we do in the future?”

“Well…”

Elizabeth folded her fan and tapped her eyes.

“What do you mean? You have to make people believe that.”

It was nothing difficult.

Because I’ve already done it before.

Everyone believed that she had done nothing wrong and she put all the blame on Roselina.

‘I’ll have to get rid of it all at once.’

Kill Brighton and his son at this banquet, and the charges go to Roselina.

It was a perfect plan.

‘That’s how Brighton will come into my hands.’

In order to do that, I had to do something first.

‘First I must deal with Leodor.’

He managed to survive with the Tears of the Wind, but it is over now.

“You said she had brought a blanket in Leodor’s room.”

Elizabeth’s eyes flashed with madness.
