◈ Episode 10
The maids and servants were anxious.
Someone had to say that the Baron was in the house.
However, I was in no position to intervene in the fight between the mother and daughter.
Ariel gritted her teeth.
“only you… You’re not the only one who likes him. “Selfish bitch.”
“… … !”
Shannon and everyone in the garden held their breath.
The same was true for all the maids, servants, and knights.
Ariel’s usual genuine and innocent appearance was nowhere to be seen.
The fierce and poisonous eyes were about to tear Shannon apart.
“Is there a woman in the capital who doesn’t love him? We all feel the same way. But everyone stays still. Because that’s morality!”
Ariel started to shed tears.
“… Was it good? What would it be like for a daughter to have an affair with a man who tolerates unrequited love and have a son? say it. “Tell me, Mom!!”
“Which family of women raise their voices like this?”
The shouting coming from the entrance of the mansion poured cold water into the overheated air.
Ariel’s face turned white as if she had suddenly regained her senses.
The servants and knights in the garden bowed their heads respectfully toward the man coming out of the mansion.
He had a skinny body, tightly combed hair, and a neatly trimmed beard.
And a middle-aged man with sharp features and a monocle.
Shannon’s husband was Baron Kachiran Yevni.
Shannon flinched, very nervous. Her body was trembling.
“I’m sorry, honey. We were too loud, right? Ariel is having a bit of a problem right now… … .”
“The problem is not me, father!”
Ariel grabbed the hem of her dress and approached the Baron.
“My mother, my mother… … .”
“Shh.”
When the Baron frowned and made a noise, Ariel reflexively closed her mouth.
As Ariel lowered her head, the Baron looked around.
“Send Ariel into the room.”
“father!”
The Baron ordered his knights.
As the knights approached her, she looked at her father with an aggrieved expression.
However, the look in the Baron’s eyes quickly made her lose her sense of defiance.
In Baron Yevny, his father’s command was absolute.
After the knights let Ariel in, the Baron glanced at his wife’s face, which looked extraordinarily neat today as well.
A beautiful wife who is shy, has a quiet voice, and does not stand up to men.
Aside from the fact that she was a commoner, in his opinion, his wife was the most perfect woman in the kingdom.
“Honey, I… … .”
“get out.”
“yes?”
“This woman is no longer from my family. “Get her out now.”
The Baron threw those words away and turned mercilessly towards the mansion.
Irina had also sent a separate invitation to Baron Yevny. He declined with a short reply.
‘Don’t involve yourself in women’s petulance fights.’
And he ended up finishing his household chores inside his mansion.
“Honey, no! Just listen to me for once, let go. “Let go of this!”
The knights grabbed her arms from both sides.
She struggled with all her might, but the knights paid no attention to her frail and fragile body.
The servants opened the gate with all their might.
The common people who had been watching at the front door split off to the left and right due to the commotion.
The knights almost threw Shannon out of the gate.
“Ouch!”
Shannon fell to the floor. The gate closed with a bang.
There was no concept of equal divorce in the Kingdom of Thrash. It was a divorce, but it could not proceed through the woman’s will.
It was correct to say, as Baron Yevny did, that a husband could only drive his wife away.
So today, Shannon became a divorcee.
* * *
Several days have passed.
As everyone expected, the social world of the Kingdom of Trash was turned upside down.
When it became known that the carriage had departed from Arkensis Manor, rumors swarmed like bees.
“I heard that she eventually seduced Ferris Archensis?”
“no. “I did something wrong to the eccentric Irina Arkensis and I was hated.”
“Isn’t Irina Arkensis jealous because Shannon Yevny is so beautiful?”
When someone made that inference, everyone nodded in understanding.
It was plausible because people in the Kingdom of Trash thought that women disliked women who were prettier than them.
Irina Arkensis, an ugly woman with burns on her face.
“If you see that she doesn’t show up in social circles, she must have a big inferiority complex about her husband’s appearance.”
In this way, it was established that Shannon Yevny was a woman worth her name and Irina Arkensis was a woman obsessed with entitlement.
Ferris Arkensis and Kachiran Yevny have never been a hot topic.
They were often referred to as pitiful husbands among tired women.

Swish.
The arrow Irina shot flew toward the sky. A bird fell to the floor.
“Mom, five birds!”
Irina looked back at Juliette and smiled.
“This is my first time at the family hunting ground.”
Louise smiled faintly at Mary’s words.
“Come when you’re on the verge of exploding stress.”
Louise could tell that Irina was holding on to something.
Originally, Irina did not bring Juliette to the hunting ground.
However, it has only been a few days since the mansion was flipped due to Ferris’ two-family home.
I didn’t want to leave my daughter at home today.
So I had specially brought Mary, Louise, and some of the escort knights with me.
“You deserve it. Since you are a great nobleman, you have to live with Feris even if you end up like this.”
For Irina, a noblewoman above the count, even an unfair divorce was not easy.
Arkensis, the king’s core loyalist, and Levart, the ruler of the North.
The union of the two families was a clever idea to strengthen the royal authority.
It was by royal order that Irina moved her residence to the capital.
There was also the meaning of holding his daughter hostage to keep Levart in check.
“You could just go north.”
“Count Levart knew everything and gave permission for the marriage. “You must be thinking about its weight.”
“You know. “Why did you do that?”
“I really care about you, Irina. “You know how precious love marriage is in aristocratic society.”
“ah… … .”
Neither he nor Irina, who only wanted happiness for their daughter, could have expected a situation like this.
Louise sighed.
“It’s a situation where everyone will understand even if you throw everything away and run away… … .”
Of course Irina didn’t do that.
She actually acted calmer and more rational than usual.
It was to prevent Juliet and the servants from becoming agitated.
Mary looked at Irina’s back together.
“Louise. “I got caught talking behind my wife and Juliet’s back.”
“what?”
Louise opened her eyes wide. Mary looked sheepishly at the shocked Louise.
“… Don’t look at it that way. “It’s only been a few months, but I’m also in the dark.”
The angry master that day was so scared that his stomach hurt.
“A commoner insulted a great noble, so it would be enough to have his head cut off. Madam Irina forgave me. He said that if you prove your usefulness, he will look at you… … .”
He was a great person who even gave me work and even paid me extra money.
It could be said that it is truly the demeanor of a great nobleman.
Mary was blooming with genuine respect, not just money.
The two maids looked at Irina in silence. Louise walked up to her Irina side.
“miss.”
“Yes, Louise.”
“Juliette, Mary and I will be watching. “Go for a run.”
Irina then looked back at Louise.
“Even Juliette knows everything if you force it. I know that too. “Go for a run.”
“… thank you.”
Irina approached the mat and leaned towards Juliette.
“Baby, Mom, I’ll come over there for a moment. “I’m with Louise and Mary.”
“Mom? Julie wants to go too!”
When Irina looked embarrassed, Mary said quickly.
“Juliette, are you going? Then, it will be just me and Louise who will play the exciting game of ‘catching ants.’”
“Uh, uh. is it so. Mary and I are very, very fun dogs. I’m going to play catch. Juliette, I don’t think you can do it. “Ho, ho, ho.”
Mary’s nostrils flared at Louise’s footwork.
“uh… I don’t want to go! “Julie wants to catch ants too!”
Fortunately, Juliette was successfully fooled.
Mary and Louise looked at Irina with relief.
With bright eyes, they encouraged me to come home quickly.
Irina said thank you to them with her mouth and then got on the horse.
“Hey!”
She rode her horse roughly deep into the forest.
The wind was so fast that it felt like it was tearing my face, and I was completely out of breath.
Irina ran for quite some time.
After running for a while, my frustration seemed to subside a little, so I turned back to where I had originally come from.
By the time they became visible again from a distance. She realized that her group had become noisy.
As we narrowed the distance, it was clearly visible. Juliette was crying with Ferris holding her shoulder.
“Dad, I’m scared. Hehe… … .”
“Where is mom! “Can’t you hear Dad?!”
“Ferris, please. “The lady is scared.”
“Somewhere, a maid interrupted the master while he was talking. shut up!”
A spark flashed in Irina’s eyes.
“Ferris Archensis!”
Killing intent erupted from Irina’s entire body. Her roar echoed throughout the hunting ground.
Ferris turned to look at her.
She jumped off the horse without even slowing down enough.
I snatched Juliette from her husband’s hands and hugged her.
“Mom. Wow!”
Juliette, held in Irina’s arms, eventually burst into tears.
“Julie, are you surprised? are you okay. “Mom is here.”
Irina patted Juliette, who was crying bitterly.
“Irina, if you were going to come to the hunting ground, you should have told me. Why do you go out without saying anything and make people anxious? At least he ran away from home… … !”
Ferris, who was whining and trying to get angry, kept his mouth shut.
This is because Irina, who was holding Juliette in her arms, was glaring at him as if she were going to kill him at any moment.
She gritted her teeth as she held Juliette tightly in her arms, as if covering her ears.
Irina finally said those words.
