The Count had not yet answered, but the Countess handed him the divorce papers, and the count's eyes shook like waves as he confirmed that all but his signature had been filled.

She was the only woman who had protected him from suffering from his children, and he seemed to hesitate to sign divorce papers, no matter how much she wanted to protect her property.

"I need money to live with you in the future. You are not in good health, and the cost of treatment is enormous. If you're so lost in your mind, you might really have to sit on the street."

But the Countess's continued persuasion forced him to lift his pen. 'How could I not sign the papers to live with you?'

"... how do I submit it? And I need the consent of His Highness..."

"When you were a nobleman, you needed it, but I found out that you are now a commoner, deprived of your title, so you just need the confirmation of a person who is in charge and a witness."

At the same time, as she was finished, two strangers entered the Count's room.

"... who are they?"

"They came out of court. You couldn't move, so they came to the mansion themselves. They are very kind. And this is Lier, a witness."

Asher was especially careful about this so that Aria was not to be damaged. Of course, it was ridiculous to divorce to get away with the property ahead of a major ruling, but it was possible because of Asher's permission. A fairly old person checked the divorce papers completed by the Count's signature and finally confirmed them.

"Does your mind remain unchanged in divorce?"

"Yes, please, finish it as soon as possible."

Unlike the determined Countess, the Count seemed to hesitate a little. It was so strange that as soon as she brought up the divorce story, all the documents, as well as the lawyers in charge, appeared. It was as if she had been doing this for a long time.

"Come on, honey, you have to think about our future. I feel sick too." The Countess took the Count's hand and said softly, "There is no other way," and persuaded him.

The Count, knowing it, hesitated a little, but nodded and affirmed.

"OK, and I'll finish the divorce procedure with this, and you are now legally separated from this moment on."

The Countess let go of the count's hand without hesitation as soon as he said that. The Countess, who had changed her face to the cold one, said her last goodbye to the Count. "I've been so grateful, financially, but I've never been satisfied with anything else."

With the cold face of the Countess, which he had never seen before, his eyes were wide and hardened.

"You, Cain, and Mielle have always ignored me, but I have tried to neglect for money, but you have not a penny left, so isn't it natural that we should divorce?"

Her honesty made the Count barely speak, unable to control his trembling body. "What do you mean? No, no pennies? You've prepared a villa and some real estate for the future!"

"Yes, under my name. It's my share, not related to you anymore. Don't be so unfair. Even if you want to have them, they will be confiscated into the empire. You can think of it as alimony... for my troubled life."

The Countess, who had left the words, was about to turn and leave as if she had no more business.

"How, how could you do this to me?"
