“I’m opening a dessert cafe.”
At first, I thought she was out of mind .

Did you lose your mind because of the shock of divorce?

But it didn’t seem that she was out of my mind. It seemed no joke that it was a dessert cafe.

As soon as Erin signed the divorce papers, she was ordering cooking utensils and supplies and looking for a place at the cafe.

‘What’s on her mind?

Are you protesting against the divorce?

I wondered if she was trying to pretend to be pitiful to the world because she kicked out without receiving alimony and make and sell cakes.2

Otherwise, why would a woman whose name was Duchess would do business with cakes and coffee?

I was looking out the window and the door opened with a careful knock.

“Your Grace.”


The aide, Mael, came in and bowed his head.

“What’s going on?”

Mael’s gray eyes were anxious.

He read Raymond’s countenance and took out a small envelope of letters.

Mael’s anxious voice followed.

“Your  Majesty hastily sent a letter. Perhaps yhe hear about your divorce… obviously…”

He must be very angry.

……I was afraid I couldn’t say anything behind his back, so I was speechless.

The emperor went to the south to attack the Kingdom of Arthene four months ago.

The war with Arthene was now in the final stage, so the emperor headed there himself for negotiations and for the post-war situation.

Raymond divorced Erin while the emperor was away.

‘You went ahead with your divorce without your Majesty’s permission……’

T/n: this is Mael’s POV

Mael sighed inwardly.

Arthene wasn’t so far away, the emperor would have returned to the capital immediately or called in Raymond.

Raymond, however, didn’t even give an eye to the emperor’s letter.

“Your Grace….. are you afraid not to read?”

“It’s obvious what’s written on it. Do I have to read it? By all means, ‘cancel your divorce and bring Erin back in polite, cultured words and turn them around’ “

At Raymond’s thoughtless appearance, Mael picked up the letter again with a worried look.

Raymond has long been on bad terms with his grandfather.

There were many reasons for the two’s disagreement but the biggest cause was naturally Raymond’s lover, Serena.

It was also largely due to the emperor that Raymond hated his wife Erin. Erin was the daughter-in-law of the emperor who picked it and brought it to he.

‘So when the Emperor is gone, he’ll get divorced….’

His Majesty will be back soon, and I was wondering what would happen.

The Emperor was a kind and gentle man, but he was never easy.

At that time, the servant knocked and came into the office and put the plate on the desk.

On the plate with green leaves was a cake with a refreshing lemon scent.

“It’s from lady Serena “

Raymond frowned at it. Looking at the sweet dessert on the plate, he suddenly felt a rush of salty.

He turned to the papers and ordered indifferently.

“Get rid of it.”

🌼🌼🌼1

I packed my things and left the palace, but I had nowhere to go right away.

There was a mansion of a marquis who she lived with her parents, but she sold it away as soon as her mother died.

I had good memories in that house, but I also hated it because I thought I would keep thinking of my parents when I go there.

Therefore, the first thing to do was to find a house.

As soon as Erin got out of the palace, she to the broker with Melly

“I want a house with a shop”

The budget was tight to get a house and a store separately.

It was my first time doing business, and it was not good to have a store and a house too far apart.

I’m going to stay alone with Melly anyway, so I think it would be nice if there was a shop.

The broker listened carefully to Erin’s demands and budget, and said, “There is a good place.”

“There’s a two-story house with a grocery store on Viltraut Street for sale.”

The streets of Viltraut were in the east of the capital.

It was a place where the lowest-ranking officials, who were mostly commoners, or merchants with ample wealth, lived.

There were cute shops and brick houses in the peaceful and quiet streets.

Erin followed the broker with Melly.

The shop, guided by a broker, was located at the eastern end of Viltraut Street.

It was a two-story building with a sign with fine cursive writing.

The front of the street was covered with a large glass

Various objects were displayed over the glass so that passers-by could see things.

From the outside, it was just a normal closed shop, but when I went inside, it was in worse shape than it seemed.

On the shelf was a pile of pomade bottles, covered in white dust, making it difficult to recognize even the brand.

On the bottom of the shelf were shovels and hoees, just before rust, and beside them were bottles of pesticides and herbicides.

Next to the door were various seeds, dried herbs, and root vegetables.
It was a shop that was very old, crude, and dusty.

‘I don’t think business went well.’

“The shopkeeper moved to a faraway town in a hurry, leaving the store as it is. Very good for sale.”

Looking at the dried vegetables in the box next to the counter, it seems that they had not been able to sell them for a long time even after they came out of the water.

Well, this was a leisurely residential area. A house with a shop wouldn’t sell easily.

While looking around the store, Melly found a door in the back and called Erin.

“Erin, there’s a garden behind you.”

Erin came up to Melie’s words.

There was a small garden behind the store. Erin inadvertently opened the back door to get out into the garden and stopped.

“Oh… “

Inside the store was a dust pit, and when I opened the small side door behind me, a completely different world came out.

This was a structure with two buildings back and forth, with a small garden in between.

On both sides, high stone walls were covering the next building.

A small road from the back door crossed the center of the garden.

On both sides of the road, there were vegetable gardens that were divided into squares and pieces like chest boards.

Leafy vegetables, herbs, tomatoes, and strawberry bushes.

There were vegetables that withered away from time to time because they were not managed, but leaf that grew thickly covered dried vegetables with rich green leaves.

The fresh leaves glowed in the sun.

‘It’s really nice. I feel like I’m at peace.’

Although it was not a beautiful garden that was elaborately constructed, the garden, which was rarely seen in such a city center, created a fresh and peaceful atmosphere.

Beyond the small garden was a white brick house with a green roof.

It was a small, charming two-story house like a toy house. Next to the house, a leafy apple tree stretches its branches to the top of the chimney.

Small cute houses and square gardens planted with vegetables.

A flower bed with grass flowers in full bloom and a chimney that rises low on the roof, and the sun shines brightly over it.

It was a fairytale-like scene.

Melly, who came with her, was also amazed.

“Wow… …it’s a beautiful house.”

“I know.”

Behind the small two-story house were two lemon trees and a white fence that were attached side by side.

There was a small forest at the end of the street in Viltraut, and this house faced the forest at the back. Over the yard of the white fence, I could see a dense forest.

It was like a small park rather than a forest, but the green leaves twinkling in the sunshine created a beautiful view.

Erin picked up her luggage and went upstairs.

There were two small bedrooms on the second floor. It was a simple, tidy, ordinary family room.

There was an old white-sheet bed, a wooden table, a chair, a worn-out dresser, and a wooden bookcase with flower patterns on it.

The carpet on the floor was also worn out, and there was no painting on the wall, but it was a room with a charming feeling.

“Can I use the furniture here as it is?”

“Yes, because it’s a product that the shopkeeper put together anyway. It would cost more to take all these furniture away.”

Well, it’s pretty and cute, but they’re all old furniture, so they weren’t worth the money to move. I’d rather tie it up with my house and sell it now.

Bedroom on the second floor. On the first floor, there was a living room, a restaurant, and a cute kitchen.

Erin looked into the small kitchen.

“I’ll have to cook here.”

There was no room for the kitchen in the store in front. I had no choice but to cook here.

The store and the house are small, but when I looked around, I thought this would be okay.

“Erin, I think it’s so nice here.”

Melly seemed to have a crush on this place as well.

Melly looked around with a happy face, and belatedly said a little worried.

“But will it be okay? I think it’s a little remote. If you want to set up a shop, you’d better go to the main street……….”

“You won’t be able to find a shop on the busy street with your current budget anyway.”

Erin didn’t have much money now.


The dowry was smaller than I thought. The furniture of the palace was not priced
properly because it was an old item that had been used for nine years.

This was the capital of the empire, and the busy streets where many people visit were expensive.

You can’t buy a building on the main street even if you spend all your money. Even if she gave up on this house and bought a store, she couldn’t even find it.

‘Now there’s a lot of people, but I can’t afford a big one.’

For the time being, I have to run a shop alone with Melly. No matter how hard they were, there was a system.

Well, this is the perfect amount.

I want to sell desserts only enough to make myself a small cafe, so it is difficult to sell too much. I liked the quiet streets instead of the loud streets.

“I’ll do it here.”

Erin  payee half the money she had and bought a two-story house with a shop.
