I’m Ready for Divorce!

Chapter 69

Translator: Latte Editor: Sasha

Elody checked the memo she wrote.

The area where ​​the Peropesia herb was produced…

‘It’s near Baron Vendos and Baron Bernard’s mansion… They were in front of me the whole time!’

Speaking of the two barons, it suddenly occurred to her that they had requested Elody to forgive them for their past mistakes.

“It would be great to test their loyalty.”

It was a great opportunity to listen to their requests while checking the efficacy and side effects of the drug she was about to market.

After experimenting with the two barons, if a successful result came out, she shall properly promote the two barons.

Thus, Elody went straight to Caville.

* * *

“I was also planning to send them to the Forest of Death, why?” Caville replied casually.

“Will there be a problem if we don’t send them away?” Elody asked.

“Well, it doesn’t really matter, but….”

He didn’t want to forgive them.

Reading Caville’s expression, Elody slowly persuaded him saying, “Actually, I wanted to ask you about something…”

“What is it?! I’ll listen to any of my wife’s requests!” Caville said in an ambitious voice.

“Um… not you. You won’t be able to do it.”

Elody looked at Caville’s hair.

His hair is too luscious…

“…Why not? I want to help my wife too.”

“Yeah, but…”

Elody then explained to him about the research she was going to do. She was going to study hair loss treatment, and she wanted to use two people as experimental subjects.

“Alright. I’ll do whatever my wife wants. I hope there are no side effects.”

“……”

Elody laughed awkwardly at Caville’s innocent answer.

It seemed that Caville still loathed the two barons.

‘But still… they fought alongside each other on the battlefield… ‘

Caville said that Elody was a lot more precious to him than they were.

Elody, who left Caville’s office and returned to the lab, suddenly remembered his confession yesterday.

“I love you.”

“I’m in love with you.”

“There’s no one in this world that could make me feel the way I feel about you.”

“I will do my best so that your feelings for me will change. Just wait because I will put in all of my efforts to make you mine. But… if even until then you still want a divorce, then I will have no choice but to accept.”

Caville confessed to her with such confidence and passion.

Elody shook her head.

‘It can’t be.’

She couldn’t believe Caville’s confession at all. She could only think of it as an obsession from a young child.

Suddenly…

“Ah….”

Elody touched her forehead as it throbbed painfully.

“Madame! Are you okay?” Anna said as she supported Elody’s back.

But Elody couldn’t hear a single word.

Because another loud voice echoed inside her ear.

‘He doesn’t love you, his love is fake. You can’t accept it!’

Someone was shouting inside her head.

It felt like someone was using magic to control her. But she had never heard of such magic.

Elody paused for a moment and took a deep breath, clutching her throbbing head.

* * *

The next day, Elody called Baron Vendos and Baron Bernard.

“Thank you, madame.”

“Thank you…!”

When Elody told them that they didn’t have to go to the Forest of Death, the two barons hugged and shed tears of emotion.

The two barons had long thrown away their pride. They truly didn’t want to leave their family.

Because of that, the two Barons thought of the duchess as their benefactor.

“I have something to request from you.”

Elody carefully spoke to them who were delighted to have escaped from death.

“Anything! We’ll do anything! Please tell us!”

“That’s right! We’ll do anything!”

Elody pulled out a small bottle from the drawer. The bottle was full of small pills.

“This is a hair loss treatment that I developed.”

“Then…!”

It was a medicine that they had never heard of.

Baron Vendos and Baron Bernard had their eyes widened and alternated between Elody and the medicine.

“This is…”

“Hair loss…”

Hair loss was one of the two’s biggest concerns. If it weren’t for their hair, They would have looked 10 years younger…

On the battlefield, there was a time when they gently asked the priest if it was possible to fix their hair loss with divine magic?

They thought it might be possible because the root of divine magic was healing. But the priest said that it was impossible.

The two were disappointed. There were also some priests who were bald…

They thought that it couldn’t be helped and decided to accept it.

But now…

“There may be side effects though…”

At Elody’s words, the two barons’ faces suddenly darkened.

“Side effects…”

“Don’t worry, it won’t hurt nor will it kill you.”

“Um… Is Your Grace sure?”

Baron Bernard was suspicious.

‘Was she actually planning to kill us all along?!’

“If I wanted to kill you, I would have just sent you to the forest. It’s really nothing more than hair loss treatment.”

She wasn’t wrong. After all, the two of them were old people who didn’t have long to live.

Baron Vendos spoke, “If so, then what are the side effects…?”

“Well, that’s your job. To find out the side effects,” Elody smiled.

“……”

”……”

Baron Vendos and Baron Bernard stared at each other’s faces.

They were happy that they did not have to go to the Forest of Death after receiving forgiveness from the duchess…

They could even solve their problem for hair loss, which had long been their dream! There was no reason to reject her request!

The two grinned. As long as it wasn’t dying, they could endure any kind of side effects.

Elody kindly explained the dosage to the two happy people.

And when she was about to see the two off…

“Ah! Madame, do you have a brother with pink hair like yours? Does Count McClaire have a son?”

“And why do you want to know about that?”

“That’s… Actually, the man Iris fell in love with when she was younger was said to have the same pink hair as Your Grace. She insisted on searching for him…”

Elody recalled her memory.

The memories of her childhood before she turned 13 were faint…

Count McClaire had many children.

Among them, two children, including Elody, were born with the same pink hair as her. But she wasn’t sure.

“I think there was one brother with pink hair among my other siblings, but… I don’t remember in detail.”

“I see, I see.”

“Yes, then come to me when you feel any side effects.”

Elody laughed and waved her hand at the two barons who were leaving.

It is a medicine made using mana, so the medicinal effect will appear soon. Side effects will also appear…

Based on the results of the experiment with the two, Elody thought to compensate them for the trouble she forced upon them.

She also asked the two barons to bring more herbs as ingredients for the medicine.

* * *

After the guests left, Elody left a bit of her time to have lunch with Caville.

And after eating, they drank tea and talked.

“……”

Caville glanced at Elody.

After his passionate love confession to Elody, Caville was working on a way to win her heart.

And Ifrit was helping him.

Caville read a variety of love books, including essential liberal arts books for teenagers, brought by none other than the Almighty Ifrit from the library.

「The Unstoppable Duke」

「The Crown Prince’s Secret! 101 Ways to Seduce the Crown Princess」

「One Seduction per Day, Simple Dating Skills 365!」

「Twenty Years old? Start Dating right now!」

「The Lord of Courtship」

「My Duke is Different」

「I’m Ready to Seduce ♥」

The titles were… certainly unique.

Caville thought that most of the book was filled with bullsh*t, but one or two of them were okay.

And what he read yesterday was one of the things he thought pretty useful.

Give the lady a flower!

Do women really like flowers?

“Would she really like it?” Caville asked.

“…Of course!” Ifrit answered.

Thus, Caville decided to go with the idea.

He glanced at Elody after recalling yesterday’s conversation.

“Ahem! My wife,” Caville called her in a low voice, trying his best to sound sexy.

“Huh?”

Elody turned to Caville and saw that her husband had brought a pink rose for her.

“These flowers are beautiful, aren’t they? I brought them for you, my wife.”

“……”

Caville looked confident.

When giving flowers, he said the point was to hand only one flower.

But Elody’s expression wasn’t very good.

‘Could it be? Does she hate flowers? Or is she disappointed because I only brought one?”

Caville carefully looked at Elody’s eyes. Elody hesitated and opened her mouth.

“The flower belongs to Iris…”

“…?”

“I’m sorry, but that flower is owned by Iris.”

‘What is she saying?’

Caville didn’t understand and only blinked.

Who was Iris?

He hadn’t got a clue.

Elody looked troubled. She almost forgot that she had promised Iris to give all the pink roses to her.

‘I have to pick out all the roses from the garden tomorrow, too.’

Elody smiled as he looked at Caville with a blank expression. And accepted the rose.

“Thank you, Caville.”

“……”

Only then did Caville’s mouth draw a pretty smile.

‘But why are you giving me this flower?’

Elody looked at the pink rose and thought.

Caville doesn’t know yet, but Elody was a person who had zero intellect regarding love.

She was far worse than Caville.

Elody put the flowers down in wonder.

Caville chuckled, thinking that maybe, the feelings in his heart had reached her.

“…Ha.”

And Marie, watching the two dense souls, shook her head in exasperation.

Caville had been endlessly courting Elody for days. Unfortunately, the latter still had no idea at all.

Since then, the servants of the castle have been very sorry for the duke.

* * *

A few days later, the two Barons arrived with Peroa and Persiak herbs.

Their bald heads were no longer there.

Instead, they had full, luscious hair, as if they were wearing a wig.

Indeed, the effect was great.

“Wow! It’s perfectly splendid!”

Elody clapped her hands when she saw the two barons’ hair.

The expressions of the two barons were also bright.

“But, madame…”

“We did find a few side effects…”

“What is it?”

Elody waited nervously for the next word.

The two barons lifted their bangs.

“…..!”

“The efficacy of the drug is enormous and my hair started growing. But….”

“The day after that, our eyebrows disappeared.”

“Yes. It disappeared… without a trace.”

“……”

Thus, the two barons ended up looking like the male version of Mona Lisa with their seemingly bald eyebrows.
