How To End This Marriage
Sold to the Duke of the Empire, I still had hopes of a happy marriage in my heart as I'd liked the Duke for a very long time. I wanted to give the Duke my everything, even if it was just a political marriage. I tried my best to fulfill the marriage but Alexavier Agnes, the man I got married to never showed up in our bedroom even once after six months of our marriage. One day while having dinner we had a small quarrel and he dashed out of the room fuming and panting in anger. That was also the night when my screams and cries echoed in pure darkness as I was murdered brutally by some assassins. Why was I killed? Why did my husband hate me so much? Why did he not show up in our bedroom for six months? There's so many questions I didn't know the answers to. I shed tears of blood as I took my last breaths and swore to myself that if I get a next life I'll never marry this man again. ... Turns out God listened to my prayers as I woke up as my younger self... But I failed to stop my marriage with him. And something strange happened as he unexpectedly showed up in our room on our very first night. "I only married you to save the marquis's fortune." I paused before adding, "I'll divorce you in an year." His brows furrowed as he growled, "You can not divorce me." Why? Why does he not want to divorce? He hates me and I hate him back, divorce is the best option for us. Then why? Just what changed this time?
Doubtful Loyalties
"Your Highness, I understand what you're trying to say, but how could I just forget those childhood memories?" Duke said.
"Every time I think of those memories, I can't believe the princess could do such a thing," he added.
"Ha! You are so naive. No one would think you are known as the war hero who slaughtered the enemy without showing any single emotion on the battlefield," Crown Prince Maximus said.
"But let me tell you one thing once more. That she is not what she looks like. She is scheming. She is vicious. She has so many faces you are not aware of, and one of those looks is that she tried to kill me," Crown Prince revealed.
"What? The princess tried to kill you?" Duke gasped.
"Yes!!! She tried to kill me when I was little, so she is. I didn't know something like this could happen to me until one day we were both playing near the riverside," he said.
Flashback starts.
"Max, come here, play with me with mud!!" Vixara called.
