“So, you’re saying, ‘I want you to help me divorce my husband?'” His beloved husband, his only precious friend. But in the face of death, Seriniel realized. It was all a lie. Returning alive, Seriniel vowed revenge. To do so, she needed the monster, Lexion Rosenvester. “Just one year. I’m not asking for a lifelong marriage. The Duke would want a divorce, so I’ll do that too.” It was a deal Lexion had no business losing. Knowing the future, Seriniel would soon amass immense wealth. “Yes, of course. I’ll give you whatever you want. A divorce, of course, and if you want more, that’s fine too.” “Then…” “I’ll enjoy being the center of a dirty scandal about luring a married woman.” Lexion slowly extended his hand. “In return, you have to give me what I want. Certainly.” Then, he quietly stroked Seriniel’s delicate cheek and said, “There are only two things I want.” Seriniel, who did not understand what Lexion meant, looked at him with a flinch… “One. For you to completely abandon that worthless wretch. Two. Forever, to remain married to me.” Lexion slowly lowered his head and whispered in a low voice near her ear. “That means you should switch to me now, Seriniel Berdelet.”
