My Husband, the Commander of Imperial Guards, Wants to Divorce Me, But I Don’t Want to Part With My Angelic Stepchild.

"I've been told a lot about you. Doesn't that sound like it worked? I laughed so hard when I heard about Baron Baker's night club and how he was treating the Marquis Hattere."

"Thanks for that..."

"That's the ruinous youngest daughter of the Vice family. I'll try to do something other ladies aren't likely to be able to do. It's not standard. It's my wife."

"I'm not your wife anymore. Your Majesty gave me permission to divorce you."

"On the face of it, wasn't I in therapy?

"You're familiar with the situation in the country of Liberia, aren't you? Looks like he already had your palm diving into that precinct, so maybe he was bringing in an intermediary based over there?

It makes Anton seem hateful that he took it upon himself to like me in my father's territory. My father doesn't know Anton was in there. But even this, and if that precinct was a safe house with the Trojans breaking in, my father would be held accountable.

Anton said in a tone that didn't make him feel the seriousness of the matter.

"No, I just happened to use it over there. I thought it would be easier to avoid people using waterways than by land. A fellow who went up to the precinct first tried to pull the Marutai ship they were boarding at the pier, and it caught your eye. I'm glad your people lost your mind with medication, but soon the escorts came back, and the hasty people hid you in the boat, saying we had no choice but to escape."

I grabbed you, and your legs seem to be fast. [M] I don't think I'll be able to use that hand again. And I say it in a voice that doesn't sound a little sorry.

"What the hell did you want?

"Oh no. Yurika, are you preaching? You weren't supposed to be that accommodating, were you? It's time for me. I'm coming to the palace. And then Anna, please."

"I'm in awe"

Anton lifted his hips out of bed, leaving it to Anna to exit. Something like an invisible bond was felt between them.

"What's that guy doing here?

"That can't be said from my mouth"

Anna whispers. The attitude was irritating.

"How long have you been after that guy? You guys were deep friends before I got separated? That time, I cried to you, but you were laughing inside while pretending to comfort me, weren't you? You're terrible."

"That's not true. Anton was taken care of by your wife."

"Oh, an exemplary samurai's answer. But I don't want that. Why don't you just tell me the truth? Anna, on behalf of your wife, who's obsessed with raising her children and can't even look after her husband, she said she's taken care of her husband."

Anna changed her complexion to what I said and came back to me.

"Doesn't that sound familiar? Anton, you were a mismatch. Mama."

"Don't tell me you're your wife. I'm already divorced. Not that guy's wife."

"Oh. I was. I forgot. Your wife was dumped by Anton."

Anna chuckles. I felt angry when she provoked me.

"Anton told me about you. You and I were only married for children. [M] He said it was good to have a good caregiver for the kids. Your wife is obedient, so she can do what she says without defying it."

……

"At first he said he felt troublesome because of His Majesty's voice, but he did a good pick up. Thanks to you, you can love me deeply."

Poor wife. And I was exhilarated to see Anna laughing so high as I said. Get out of bed and get close to her. When I shook up my dominant hand, I heard a flashy noise.

"Get out. I don't even want to see your face."

Bad timing there, one of the maids came in.

"Ouch."

"Dear Anna. What's the matter, sir?

"It's terrible. He hit me all of a sudden."

The samurai ran over there and glanced at me kickingly as Anna held her cheek and squatted.

"Well, sweet Anna, what are you doing? Are you all right, sir? Anna."

"Thanks. Meal"

My cheeks are swollen. Let's cool it down there, shall we? And the samurai took Anna.
