I Won't Accept Your Regrets

“I don’t love you? Divorce. It’s not a joke.”1

He laughed, but his stomach was still twisted and heated.

Raymond deeply narrowed his eyebrows to the feelings that didn’t calm down.

“Your Majesty, I’ll be back to bring the tea that’s calming for the mind and body.”

“It’s Okay. I don’t feel like calming down.”

The attendant carefully opened his mouth with a heavy face.

“Your Majesty, will you really imprison Her Majesty in the Imperial Palace?”

“Imprison? What do you mean?”1

Raymond blurted the end of his words. Raymond dimmed. He had restricted her entrance to the Emperor’s Palace and sent knights to escort the palace.

To him they were only to guard the palace, but it was no different from keeping the empress from escaping the palace.

“…..Your Majesty, if you keep her in the palace without any justification, not only the nobility but also commoners will be noisy. Please reconsider. “

The assistant manager shook his head. Reasonably speaking, the assistant manager was right, but if he did not tie down Ellie….. It seemed she would leave the palace immediately.

At the time of his hesitation, a voice came from outside the office.

“Your Majesty, it is said that there will be Knights to protect the Empress’ Palace.”

“Come in.”

The door opened and a knight came in and bowed in front of him.

“Greetings to His Majesty, the Sun of the Empire.”

“What’s going on in the Empress’ Palace.”

“The Empress’ Head Maid secretly tried to escape through the back door, So we tried to question her and a letter came out.”

“A letter?”

Raymond’s eyes became fierce.

He glanced to bring it to the assistant manager. Upon receiving a letter from the knight.

After reading the contents, Raymond’s face became tense.

The letter was about Ellie asking for help with the Duke of Croft.

It didn’t say what the help was, but he already understood.

Divorce.

Ellie is telling the Duke to help her in order to divorce him.

It felt like someone was hitting his head strongly.2

The indescribable displeasure and frustration strangled him.1

Raymond, who hardened his frozen face as if the north wind had just been swept away, held the candle on one side of his desk.

And without hesitation, lit the letter. The paper that touched the fire quickly became ash and fell on the desk.1

He burned the last piece, and looked down at the knight.

“Thoroughly inspect the court ladies of the empress’ palace going out. No one can leave the palace without my permission.”

After the knight went out, he ordered an aide in the office.

“Tell it to the Chancellor. The head of missions from the East, named Duke Croft. I order him to start one right away, and it’s going to rain. Tell him to go to the Eastern country within the day.”
(He’s sending the Duke to the Eastern Kingdom So he won’t be able to be in contact with Ellie….)4

“….Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Once again, you have to track down on the mouths of the lower ones so that the rumors about the Empress’ Palace don’t go beyond the palace.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The aide and the assistant manager also left the office, and Raymond gave rough breaths amid his boiling anger.

To ask the Duke for help.

He thought it was just nonsense she was giving, But it wasn’t, Ellie really wanted to divorce him.

“Why are you doing this to me?”4

The sense of betrayal condemned his whole body.
(Lmao…as if…U gave Ellie sh*t)4

Not once has she ever been out of his sight. She had always been by his side for a long time, and She always touched him whenever he would reach out.1

Why are you doing this to me?1

Raymond thought it was nonsense, but the anxiety didn’t drop easily.

“I can’t believe it’s a divorce she wants. It can’t happen.”

I’m sure it’s Edmund. It’s only a brief crack in our relationship, so it’ll be all right over time.3

Trying to calm himself like that, he stared at the Empress’ Palace with dark eyes.

“Your Majesty, The Empress, would you like a cup of warm tea?”

Late at night. Helan asked me, who couldn’t sleep.

“No. I’m fine. Go to sleep.”

“How can I leave now when the Empress is like this? Why don’t you ignore the Lord and meet him tomorrow?”

It was already well past bedtime. And even if I were to lie down, I won’t be able to sleep because I’m still upset.

The letter she was about to send to her father was stolen by a knight and entered Raymond’s hand.

And the boundaries of the knights guarding the Empress’ Palace were strengthened. Even ants won’t be able to escape.

I didn’t know you’d do this.

I thought I said it because I was angry at the moment. I thought his reason would come back when I went back to work.

But even late at night, the knights did not retreat.

After a brief visit to the administrative office, the head maid said that she had been given a ban on the Empress’ affairs regarding the palace.

In addition, he appointed her father as the head of the mission of the East.

With that as an excuse, Raymond is going to send my father to another country far away and really lock me in the palace.

What if my father doesn’t notice anything wrong and will still go to the Eastern country?

As time goes by, it will be harder to hide my pregnancy.

The pregnancy of the empress and Edmond as the First Prince.

The factions will be divided from my unborn child and aristocrats trying to line up with Edmond.

And then if someone tries to kill my unborn child.

My thoughts made my heart cool.

“Your Majesty, you don’t look well. You’re not fully recovered yet, I’m afraid you’ll fall down again. “

Helan’s words flashed in her mind.

I must never fall.

It wasn’t a problem with my body being hurt, but I was afraid the child in my stomach would be badly hurt.

“Please bring some warm tea.”

Helen nodded and left the room. I tried to control my anxious mind.

I already told my father I was getting divorced. And my father knew I was expecting a child.

However, in this situation, I can’t let him leave to the East.

I have folded my thoughts.

“It will all work out well, sweetheart.”

I gently stroked my stomach.

As I drew a happy future to be with my child, my heart that was running in anxiety became calm.

I hope that Raymond trying to keep my father away from me will fail, and my future will be one filled with joy.1

The next morning in the Emperor’s Palace.

Raymond, who had been up all night for work and having thoughts about Ellie, went to the office from early in the morning.

Even though I was looking at the documents I had to deal with, all I could think about was Ellie.

“Assistant Manager”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“What’s the Empress doing? Is she eating properly?”

“Yes, I don’t think there’s a big problem. She had breakfast and spent time in the garden of the empress’ palace as usual.”

“What?”

Raymond’s eyebrows soared when he heard what the assistant manager said.

When she mentioned a divorce, He couldn’t sleep, eat or even work properly. But for her she acted no different.1

Raymond felt as if his insides were twisting and turning.

Why are you so indifferent to divorce?

Sfx: crackle-

At the moment, there was two knots in the quill pen to see if there was strong force in the hand. The pen broke and a sharp part cut his hand.

“My Majesty, blood! I will call the Imperial Physician right away…”

“It’s done.”

Red blood was dripping onto the desk, but the pain was nothing.

When he pressed his palm with a handkerchief, a servant’s voice rang outside the office.

“Your Majesty, the Duke of Croft is requesting an audience.”

“Duke Croft?”

Raymond’s eyebrows went up sharply.

The news of the empress’ palace’s closure was thoroughly censored out so that it could never cross the palace. It wouldn’t have leaked out in just one day.

If so, is it about the mission of the Eastern countries?

I didn’t want to face the Duke of Croft now, but I didn’t have any good excuse.

“Bring him in.”

The door opened and the Duke of Croft came in with a stiff face. Raymond felt it intuitively with his unusual eyes.

That Duke Of Croft did not come here to ask about the mission.

“I Welcome His Majesty, the Sun of the Empire.”

“Get up, Duke.”

“Thank you. Your Majesty.”

The Duke, who had risen with courtesy, took the letter out of his arms and gave it to the emperor without taking hesitation.

Raymond’s eyebrows were raised fiercely as he wrote a letter bearing the seal of the Duke.

“What is this, Duke.”

“The Duchess of Croft formally asks His Majesty to divorce Her Majesty.”
(Duke Croft calls his daughter ‘Duchess Of Croft’ Since She is the only lady in the family.)

“…….”

Again his intuition was right.

Raymond held back his twisted smile when he was hit too precisely.

“When the Empress had called for an Physician, You and the Empress must have already talked in advance.”

“….What happened to the Empress?”

Duke Croft’s eyes sharpened.

“And it turned out you stopped me that day, too. Looks like you planned it from the start.”

The Duke had the same glance as the day that he had stopped him in the Empress’ Palace.

Raymond’s attitude was fierce, but the Duke asked again with a unshakable face.

“Your Majesty, Where is the Empress now?”

“Why, did I put the empress somewhere in a dungeon?”

“Your Majesty!”

At the moment the Duke of Croft’s voice rose, and the assistant manager flinched. At the same time, a standing knight naturally took his hand to the sword.

Raymond told the knight to put his hands down from his sword.

“All of you go out.”

The servants and knights of the office hesitated, and quietly went out in his determined eyes.

The door closed and Raymond looked at the Duke’s face stained with worry and anxiety.

“Duke. Do you really think I would have treated her that way?”

“….I crossed the line. I’m sorry.”

The Duke bowed his head and took a step back. It was his fault that he lost his temper at the moment of concern for his daughter.

“The name of the Eastern country is a good one. Also, I’ll pretend I haven’t seen this letter, so go away.”

“Your Majesty, I cannot leave.
