Please Provide Compensation Through Divorce

Chapter 35

Leto couldn’t hide his surprise.

“How long have you been here?”

“Since the beginning. When you said ‘damn it.’”

He rubbed his face in exasperation.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have said that.”

“Did something happen with the guild master?”

“That bastard demanded an outrageous price for using the ‘Forest of the Wizards.’ That’s why the negotiation took so long.”

“Oh dear. Was the negotiation successful?”

“Barely. I thought he might strangle me halfway through.”

So there was another meeting after the state council. It must have been exhausting. I had no idea where the meeting took place.

He asked, clearly puzzled,

“But why are you here at this hour? And alone?”

“Believe it or not, I was out for a walk.”

“I’ve never seen anyone get stranded during a walk.”

He took off his coat and draped it over my shoulders. It smelled fresh and clean.

“Why are you always lightly dressed when it rains?”

“I have no idea. Thank you.”

I pulled the collar of the coat tighter. I was cold, after all.

Our eyes met.

“……”

“……”

Awkward silence ensued. I looked away from him.

Of course, the events of last night came to mind—the feel of his lips, his touch.

‘…It’s still embarrassing. That’s why I’ve been avoiding him.’

I glanced at him. He seemed to be in a similar state.

Let’s get to the point.

“I heard the meeting went well. There are rumors all over the palace.”

“Calling Farahm was very effective. The proposal was excellent too. It’s all thanks to you.”

“You’ll be busy from now on.”

“Tell me if you need anything. It’ll make things less hectic.”

Another silence.

Do we have to wait like this until Yuton returns? I actually have something to say to him.

I watched the falling raindrops and spoke,

• Please.
