Honey, Why Can’t We Get a Divorce?

Chapter 146

Chapter 146

Largo was in high spirits.

Because he thought Ophelia would be dead.

He wasn't sure from the start that Theo would stick to them. He was a boy, and he was always shaken.

So that's why he cleverly changed the magic circle's formula. Not to the monster forest, but to the northern snowy mountains.

Noticing this, Sylvester released the knights, but it would be too late anyway. Ophelia will die, and it will be difficult to find her body.

Thinking about this, Largo naturally laughed. The pleasure came as if the sick tooth had fallen out.

The reason why Largo tried to kill Ophelia was, of course, because she provoked him, but not only that. 

Because Ophelia was a living witness.

Because she was a person who knew for sure that he had a magic circle and used it directly.

It is currently illegal to collect magic circles.

If accused in the temple, the Prince's position may be at stake. It's because it's a crime.

So Largo was trying to get rid of Ophelia, the witness and the evidence.

The result is successful.

It was clear to see Sylvester entering the court with a weak step.

Largo stroked his left cheek, which had been beaten by Sylvester earlier.

When he was hit, he was also angry and vowed to kill Sylvester, but when he thought about it, he didn't have to do anything.

Anyway, Sylvester is a rascal who used violence against the Prince of the Empire. Imperial law will punish him on its own.

It would be nice if he could give it a little more breath. 

If he does, Sylvester's position will also be narrowed.

Everything was going as Largo wanted.

So Largo grinned and said to Sylvester, who was approaching him.

"Did you find the dead body?"

Sylvester's eyebrows twitched. Largo raises his lips even more.

"You couldn't find it. The monsters would have chewed her up into pieces."

He whistled like he was teasing Sylvester.

"It's really sad. How can I understand the feeling of losing the wife you love?" 

Then he puts his hand on Sylvester's shoulder.

"Now, the only thing left for you is to be punished, right?"

Sylvester glanced at Largo's hand on his shoulder, then slapped his hand. 

"Why am I being punished?"

Then he speaks in an arrogant manner.

"I was just chasing sinners."

"What?"

Largo's eyes turned sour.

"Did you tell me I'm a sinner now?" 

"Then, who else is going to be a sinner here beside Your Highness?"

"Ha!"

Largo let out an exhaled breath. This guy must be really crazy. It's not enough to hit him in the face, to insult the royal family like this! Largo shouted, grunting his teeth. 

"It's an insult to the royal family. I'm gonna have to punish you with contempt. What are you doing? Get him now!"

It was then. 

Isnt that also applicable when you are a member of the Imperial Family? 

Largo's eyes grew bigger. Because it was none other than Ophelia who came into the courtroom!

Largo looked at Ophelia in disbelief.

"Hello, Your Highness?"

Ophelia smiled and greeted him lightly.

"I'm alive."

As soon as Ophelia finished speaking, not only the people in the audience but also the high priest in charge of the judge jumped up.

"Ophelia Ryzen!"

"Duchess!"

They take a look at Ophelia's behavior.

Her dress is torn in places. In addition, there is a bandage wrapped around the left shoulder. It was clear that it was a serious wound. 

Did she get caught up in the magic circle and have a big problem?

People responded with bewilderment.

Ophelia slowly opened her mouth to those people.

"I have been in great danger by falling into the tricks of the 2nd Prince."

Everyone's eyes are on Largo. Largo looked at Ophelia with a white face. Ophelia beckoned to the man standing behind her. 

As a witness, I will present Theo, the knight of our family, who was asked to activate the magic circle by the 2nd Prince.

Following Ophelia's gesture, Theo appeared. Largo's face was now so pale that it looked like had no blood at all, and Ophelia smirked at him. 

"We've won."

******

It was revealed at the same time that Largo had illegally used the magic circle to commit murder, and that he had been illegally gathering the magic circle. 

As a result, it was not Ophelia who was punished in the temple trial.

Largo was immediately ordered not to enter the temple, which was a serious punishment for not receiving the blessings of the temple at the ceremony of succession to the throne.

In addition, a huge amount of fine at the temple, and further, an official letter was sent to the Imperial family that if the 2nd Prince inherited the throne, the relationship with the temple would be completely ended. 

This happened in just a few days.

Ophelia, who heard that Largo was running wild because he couldn't admit his defeat, laughed giggling in her bed.

"I, it's hurt."

Then, she grabbed the injured left shoulder and frowned slightly.

Then Sylvester hurried up.

"The doctor said to never do that, why are you laughing so hard? I told you to stay still. Stay still."

He said as he put the ruffled blanket over Ophelia again. Ophelia was still holding her smile until then. 

"But aren't you happy? Now the 2nd Prince has completely lost his position!"

Ophelia gave a happy cry.

"I'm happy but"

But Sylvester's expression was mysterious. He looked at Ophelia with a slightly disapproving face. And sit on the bed.

"But how about this?"

"Yes? About what?"

Ophelia tilted her head. 

"Largo is now disqualified as a Prince, so he won't be able to ascend to the throne. With this, we've taken everything Largo wanted, isn't it enough?"

That's true.

She might be satisfied with having stolen everything Largo had.

But. 

"It's not for me."

It wasn't for Sylvester. 

He raised himself with a clenched fist.

Ophelia tilted her head again.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go out for a while."

He grinned as he gathered Ophelia's disheveled hair and brushed it behind her ears.

"Go rest."

Then he kissed her cheek briefly.

"And take the medicine."

Ophelia wondered where Sylvester was going, but she thought it wouldn't be a big deal, so she passed it.

Anyway, it's time to focus on recovery.

*****

"Damn it!"

Clank! 

Largo shouted, sweeping everything off the table at once.

"Argggh!"

He stamped his feet. However, his anger did not go away. No, he couldn't get rid of this anger.

He had no choice but to do that. Because now Largo had lost everything he had!

He was stripped of his position as Prince. The reason was simple.

You shouldn't have been caught if you did something stupid behind the scenes.

You fool. 

As the emperor said, it was because he was stupid. Because he was caught! 

"Uggh!"

Largo buried his face in his hands and bit his cheek inside.

All of this is because of Ophelia, that crazy woman.

Had it not been for that girl, he would have been able to inherit the throne safely. That means he would have succeeded to the throne after killing Callian using the magic circle he had gathered and killing all who opposed him!

"K, kill, I will kill her!"

He had to kill Ophelia. Only then would this person be freed.

Largo ran hurriedly and drew a sword hanging on the wall.

He will screw that bitch who would run to the Duke family like this right now! 

"Y, Your Highness, Duke Ryzen is here"

"What?"

Largo looked back in surprise. Then he saw the door open. Largo walked towards the door with a sword in his hand. Just then.

"Ugh!"

Largo fell down. This is because he saw his servant lying down bleeding. And Sylvester, who's trampling on his servant. 

"Y, you, what did you do!"

Largo shouted, pointing his finger. Sylvester looked down at Largo and smirked. 

"Why, were you thinking of killing my wife with that sword?"

He said while looking at the sword Largo was holding. Every time Sylvester walks by, the sword he is holding is dragged to the floor.

The only people I know of here are Your Highness and the servant.

"Y, you!"

"But the servant is dead."

Sylvester lifted his sword over his shoulder. The blood on the blade drips.

"Then the only witness left is Your Highness"

He looked down at Largo with a cold stare.

"What should I do?"

"Y, you punk!"

Only then did Largo, who came to his senses, scrambled to his feet.

"Do you think you can beat me!"

Largo is a Prince who has been active on the battlefield for a long time. He is a man of ability who is recognized by the Empire.

But. 

"Is there anything else that I can't win?"

Sylvester is half human and half demon. 

He unlocked his magic.

"No, I can't not win."

"Ugh!"

"I'm here to avenge my wife."

The magical energy that flowed from Sylvester's fingertips grabbed Largo's back and lifted him into the air. Sylvester slowly walked towards him. 

"Ughh!"

"You must die, Largo."

Then he reached out to the back of Largo's head and pulled his hair.

"You can't touch me and hope you're still alive."

Sylvester held the sword straight, and Largo fell to the ground without even letting out a desperate scream.
