When I Announced A Divorce, The Obsessive Maniac Went Crazy

“Ahhhhhhh!”

The Empress hit the floor.

The Empress struggled, not knowing that her fist was bleeding.

I wish everything was a lie.

The things that were supporting the Empress have completely collapsed.

“But it’s all over.”

The Emperor held his breath and continued.

“The Duke of Burstoad found out. I mean everything. The Duke said he couldn’t forgive the Empress for killing the former Duke and Duchess. The Empress must pay the price. I have no reason to forgive the Empress anymore.”

The Emperor’s eyes returned indifferent again.

It contained contempt and compassion at the same time.

It was a tragic ending for those who didn’t look back because they couldn’t abandon their greed.

*****

The Marquis Gallard’s visit to the Empress was after a big publication in the newspapers.

It was said that Marquis Gallard and the Empress would be in court at the same time.

“Your Majesty, Empress! This is not the time for this!”

Marquis Gallard stomped his feet.

The Empress’s eyes, who had lost their will, turned to Marquis Gallard.

It had started with him.

The younger brother of the Empress, the next in line to become a marquis, was not good enough. No cunning, no strategy. Whenever he touched business, he was doomed.

In order to raise such a younger brother, the Empress had to intervene in politics.

She took the lead and ran the business on behalf of the Marquis Gallard.

As I began to achieve success one by one, I became greedy.

However, it was not only the Empress who had greed.

The Marquis Gallard began to want more, and more.

“Perhaps it was you I should have abandoned.”

“What? Your Majesty!”

The Marquis Gallard clung desperately on the Empress.

He should get some answers.

Only after getting out of this crisis with the power of the Empress was able to pursue the next.

The Empress needed to get out of this crisis with her power so she could move on to the next.

If she is determined enough to kill her child to keep her position, she will make way for me this time.

“Are you going to kill Prince Gabriel? Then all this… It will be as the Empress wants. Then this trial… You can kill the Duke of Burstoad as well.”

The Empress stared blankly at the monster she had raised.

And to raise the monster, she realized that the Empress had also become a monster.

“Go back.”

“Your Majesty?”

“Go back. You need to learn to let go, too. It’s all over now.”

“It’s not over! It can’t be! Your Majesty..!”

“Go back!”

The Empress exclaimed sharply.

The maids, who were already nervous about the Empress, drove the Marquis out.

The Marquis cursed and left the Empress.

It was just this.

What the Empress was struggling to protect.

*****

I was scammed by that cheeky boy and his mother.

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like a scam.

The boy’s father didn’t know anything and all he had to do was give her the medicine.

However, the Empress murdered the child’s father to hide even that fact.

Because of that, her mother, who had no way of making a living, went out to sew and helped work at a restaurant, and then got the flu.

It was just the flu, but the child was terrified because he was told his mother could die if he didn’t get her medicine.

The mother of the child had the medicine formulation and letter left by her husband.

It was still hidden.

The reason they didn’t die at the hands of the Empress was because they were at their parents’ home in the far southern countryside at the time of the incident.

When they returned, they said the situation was already over.

It was a rural area where they couldn’t receive letters well, so she was able to return only after her husband’s funeral was over. It is said that her husband’s funeral was arranged by a relative who lived nearby.

Instead of giving it away, she decided to become the child’s supporter.

Until the child grows up well, eats well and becomes a decent adult.

‘Why should I do that?’

‘… We did nothing wrong and we had to lose my husband. Is it strange to ask for this much in return? You have a lot of things, and it won’t hurt to give us a little. He wouldn’t have grown up like this if he had been in his father’s arms.’

He couldn’t refuse the mother’s request to push the child’s back.

The doctor prescribed medication and told her that if she took good care of him, he’d get over it.

I did a good job, but I feel like I was scammed. Why?

I gave Cesare the medicine formulation paper I obtained.

Only one person in the family is allowed to speak in court.

And it was more powerful for Cesare to speak up.

“This is really coming to an end.”

The Empress and Marquis Gallard were doomed.

A trial date was set, and Cesare was busy preparing for the day.

I have nothing to do again…

“Is there nothing to do?”

Of course, I can rest for a while since I’ve been running so hard, but I can’t.

Sitting still was bad enough when I was trapped in Gabriel’s mansion.

In fact, in the mansion, there are things that a Duchess would have to do, but in this villa, there is nothing to do…

keep an eye on Eilish and Jacob and make sure they didn’t do anything stupid.

No, it was because the two of them were fond of each other, probably because their love burned out too late.

I gave them a room with one wall, and the sound of them scratching against it was annoying.

Ugh.

Jacob made an antidote for Eilish. It was really great love.

“By the way, is Gabriel doing well?”

Seeing that I haven’t heard the news that he was coming to arrest us, it seems that everything has improved.

“Uh!!”

It’s Lee Jong-woo.

It was unmistakably Lee Jong-woo, strutting through the door of the mansion.

Fortunately, he was fine!

“Shannet! It looks like a guest has arrived!”

“A guest?”

“Yes! Lee Jong-woo is here!”

“Then he must have caught us here?”

Shannet’s face turned white.

“It could be, but… First of all, Gabriel didn’t come! We’ll just have to talk to Lee Jong-woo.”

And a little bit of hope for Gabriel.

After that, it was time to give up on me.

I even talked to him a few times to make sure he understood…

“What are you doing here?”

Lee Jong-woo waved his hand at me.

The maids looked at Lee Jong-woo with questionable faces and led him to the drawing room.

Shannet stood behind me.

“How have you been?”

“I’m fine. How about you? Fortunately, no one was injured.”

“You were worried, and you left me behind?”

“Gabriel likes you. So I thought it would be fine.”

I never imagined that Gabriel would become so close with Lee Jong-woo.

They go out for drinks together, he lets him come to his mansion every day.

If they’re that close, there’s no way Gabriel would kill Lee Jong-woo.

He was very passionate about his own things.

In fact, he could have killed Cesare when he became Emperor, but he didn’t.

“… Does Gabriel like me?”

“That’s enough… I never imagined that we would become so close.”

“Ah…”

Lee Jong-woo nodded his head with a sad face.

Are you sad? why?

“Wait. No way….”

I looked at Lee Jong-woo from top to bottom.

Of course, he was good.

It seems that the genre is not completely broken.

He might be a good fit for Gabriel, who lacks personality.

“No way….”

“Why?”

“I think Gabriel…”

“I think he’s a good person.”

Look at this! Green light!

Who says Gabriel is a good person?

I can’t even say that.

Lee Jong-woo drank tea with a smile.

“That’s why Gabriel didn’t come looking for me.”

“Well, I don’t know about that, and I don’t think he ever will. I only came to deliver the letter.”

“Aha…”

Gabriel’s letter.

[Daphne.

I don’t even know where to start. But I know what to say first.

I’m sorry. Whatever I did and whatever you did to me, it was all my fault.

I shouldn’t have done that. You warned me several times.

That my obsession won’t make us happy. That was true.

Even with you by my side, I was only anxious and struggling. I wish I had known that sooner, but… I am now apologizing… forgive me.

No, I won’t ask for forgiveness.

I just hope Daphne is doing well.]

It seemed that Gabriel had reflected properly.

And the reason Gabriel changed is probably because of Lee Jong-woo.

[I’m such a mess, but Daphne thought of me until the end.

The book of Revelation was good. Daphne’s words that he would be helpful to me were true. And Lee Jong-woo helped me a lot.]

After all, love grows only when you can lean on it when it’s hard.

[He’s a good friend.]

Huh, friend?

I glanced at Lee Jong-woo and smiled.

“Gabriel says you’re his friend…”

“I never said I wasn’t his friend, Daphne. Did you really think I was like that with Gabriel?”

No, really?

“I was just being a true friend.”

“Huh…”

I see.

I was fooled. Green light canceled.
