Chapter 1

When I returned from the palace, a light rain had already begun to fall. The droplets gathered at the ends of my hair, weighing it down before falling onto the back of my hand.For the first time in a long while, I felt a strange sense of ease.The wife of the Grand Chancellor was supposed to travel in a carriage, escorted and attended at all times. However, I had none of that.I didn't have a carriage, and not even a single attendant followed behind me.If this were any other household, no one would believe it.But in Blackwood Estate, it was entirely believable.Everyone knew that the Grand Chancellor Yuvan Fletcher didn't love his wife.Wherever I went, those who recognized me would glance over with quiet mockery and whisper among themselves. I never reacted anymore, having long since gotten used to it."My lord husband is busy with palace affairs. He finally had time to take me to the gardens today, but then it started raining. I even stepped straight into the mud."As I e

That wasn't how Yuvan used to speak to me.We grew up together, and we were childhood friends. Everyone in both families had always assumed we would end up together one day.I followed in my father's footsteps, training in martial arts, climbing trees, and getting into fights with other children.Every time, my mother would scold me."A proper young lady should act like one. If you keep behaving like this, Yuvan won't want to marry you."But every time, Yuvan would step in front of me.Even as a child, he would lift his chin and promise her with complete certainty."That won't happen. I like Kayla the most. When she's quiet, she's gentle and calm. When she's lively, she's bright and full of energy. When I grow up, I'm going to marry her."Now, I had married him just as he promised.Yet, the way he described me had changed.I was now rough and unrefined.Everything we once shared, those years of growing up together, had already disappeared the moment our fathers fell from gra

"You're so thoughtful, Kayla. But this bowl of soup is nothing special. If you truly want to congratulate me, I actually like the crystal bangle on your wrist. Why don't you give it to me instead?"I touched the white crystal bracelet on my wrist.It was a promise gift Yuvan had given me years ago.Back then, we stood under a tree that was in full bloom. He held my hand and slid the bangle on my wrist himself."Nothing else in this world compares to you, Kayla. Now that you've worn this bracelet, you're mine forever."My first feeling for him began under that tree when I was twelve.At sixteen, I became his wife.And before I even reached nineteen, it felt like I had already lived through an entire lifetime of hardship.Now I was nineteen, and it felt like it was finally time to wake up.Whatever connection we once had was over.Both of them were now staring directly at the bracelet on my wrist.That was when I realized what I had to do, and I quickly tried to take it off.

Yuvan looked at the spilled powder, and his expression darkened instantly."Kayla, don't push your luck. Either you apply it properly, or—"I quickly cut him off and pressed the medicine back onto my wound."I understand. I'll apply it properly."I watched as the white powder mixed with blood, slowly burning into my skin. I forced myself to keep my expression steady, even as the pain twisted my face.Only after the bandaging was finished did he leave, satisfied.The moment he was gone, I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and sank onto the bed, completely drained.I knew it wasn't real medicine. It wasn't meant to heal me, but to make the injury worse and rot.That was his punishment for not handing the bangle over to Sabrina intact.I endured the pain through the night.The next morning, strong winds howled outside, and it looked like a storm was about to break.A maid pushed open my door and called out loudly,"My lady, it's going to rain soon. Lady Sabrina wants you i

"Yuvan, Kayla's scaring me. I only told her it was raining outside and reminded her to be careful, then she suddenly started chasing me and trying to hit me."My remaining sense of reason snapped back into place.I stepped into the main hall, then stopped and retreated.Standing under the eaves, the heavy rain still blew in and struck me."Kayla, have you lost your mind?" Yuvan's voice turned sharp. "Sabrina was only worried about you."My fists slowly tightened, my nails digging deep into my palms.I laughed bitterly."Is that so? Was she really worried about me?"My tone clearly displeased him. He frowned and walked straight toward me."Kayla, you've learned how to talk back now? Get on your knees."I closed my eyes for a moment, then slowly loosened my fists.Today was the last day.As long as I got through tonight...I only needed to do this one more time.I lifted my skirt slightly and began to kneel."Kneel outside."The moment I stepped out, the rain hit me like

Chapter 6

The sound of banging on the door and shouting outside suddenly stopped.Yuvan frowned in confusion as he watched the royal herald. Hayden Smith, approach from a distance. Then, he straightened his clothes and stepped forward to respectfully greet him."I'm getting on in years and arrived a bit late. I hope I didn't delay anything important, Lord Fletcher."In terms of rank, Hayden was below Yuvan. But since he carried the king's decree, he still had to be treated with respect.Still, Yuvan caught the meaning behind his words.This decree had likely been meant to be read before he left for his assignment."Is there another arrangement for my transfer?" Yuvan asked.Hayden only smiled and shook his head."The king's will is not something we servants can guess. Wouldn't you agree, Lord Fletcher?"Yuvan could only nod in response."Then please read the decree."He was about to kneel when Hayden stopped him. "This decree is not for you, Lord Fletcher. Please have your wife come o

"This must be a misunderstanding," Yuvan said quickly.Hayden didn't answer him. He simply smiled and said, "Lord Fletcher, His Majesty is aware that you have invited the Sullivan family to your estate as guests. He instructs me to remind you that since you and Ms. Sullivan are now divorced, there is no need to continue hosting them."In front of Hayden, Yuvan had no choice but to order their release.I inwardly thanked Hayden and the king.For the first time in a long while, I smiled genuinely.However, Hayden didn't leave yet. Instead, he pulled out a second scroll."Yuvan, Sabrina. Step forward to receive the decree."Everyone except me froze again.Not only Yuvan, but even Sabrina's face went completely pale.The first decree had already made it clear that I was done enduring. I was pushing back against Yuvan, and I had even convinced the king to stand behind me."By order of the king! An investigation has revealed serious irregularities in the Sullivan case, implicating

Chapter 8

When my father was imprisoned and Ironhold Estate was confiscated, almost nothing was left behind.My mother was worried that our remaining family would only become a burden to me."Mom..."I was about to say something when a sudden commotion erupted outside. My mother and I stepped out to investigate, and saw a man in battle armor standing in the courtyard."Mom, Kayla, I'm back."It took me a moment to recognize him. Three years had changed him so much.It was my younger brother, Malcolm Sullivan, who was two years younger than me.After our father was imprisoned, he had been conscripted and sent to the border.Now, he had returned home in glory."When I was sent to the border, war broke out. I joined the army with our uncle. Now that Dad's case has been cleared, His Majesty has allowed me to return to the capital to you, Mom, Kayla."Everything suddenly shifted. Our family, which had once seemed broken beyond repair, now had hope again.That night, reunited with my family

Chapter 9

Sabrina's words only sounded like a joke to Yuvan.Only people with selfish motives could be used in the first place.Did Sabrina's father truly want to help him? No. It was for himself.They both in the palace and were generals of similar rank. And yet my father always stood above him, always one level higher.He wanted to get rid of my father, and he had been the one who actively joined forces with Yuvan to do it.Now that the old case had been cleared and the truth exposed, his imprisonment was nothing but his own consequence.As for Sabrina, no matter how much she cried or raged, she was nothing more than a clown.She had no use left, and there was no one left to protect her.Her questions were met with silence.In the end, she could only ask one thing, voice breaking."Yuvan, do you really not feel anything for me at all? I'm carrying your child..."He casually knocked over the teacup in front of him, the sharp sound making her immediately shut her mouth.He let out a
