My Ex-Husband Became The Male Lead

to kill her, but if Kyrian saw Ashia, he wouldn’t be able to hurt her in the meantime.

“Why don’t you answer me?”

“…You don’t need to know.”

Theros turned his back and started walking through the garden.

Raising his eyebrows, Kyrian closely followed behind him, “Is it because of that woman earlier?”

Theros’ steps stopped.
“You saw?”

“No.”

“…”

“I only saw the Grand Duke hugging her.
As I said before, I was in a hurry.”

“…”

“But are you really going to fight His Grace the Grand Duke just because of that woman? That would be absolutely crazy, man.” His cheerful smile was like a child in front of a fire show.

’If he was a man who hated women, then I would say that woman was someone he loved.
I only saw a little bit of her, but I think the Grand Duchess candidate Redin was talking about was that woman.’

“Theros, she will be Her Grace the Grand Duchess.”

Theros’ forehead that had returned to its usual indifferent look was crumpled roughly.
“Who says?”

“His Grace the Grand Duke.”

’You stupid guy, you don’t even know who that person was, and I’m telling you, that was your Grand Duchess to be.’

He wanted to tell him that and correct the fact that it would be impossible to happen, but Theros held himself back.

Like most of the survivors of that village, Kyrian also lost his parents and siblings that day.
The story behind that incident wouldn’t be important to the victims—the only thing that mattered was the person who was responsible for the fire that day, which took the lives of many villagers.
Kyrian’s and the other survivor’s resentment were only directed toward Ashia.
He couldn’t tell that in front of Kyrian when he was blinded by his own jealousy.

“We should wait and see for that to happen.”

“Even if we are from the Grand Duchy, we won’t condone those who will interfere.”

“…”

“I think it’s an opportunity that will never come again.”

Once again, he murmured in his heart towards, ’stupid guy.’

“Oh, so? Who was that person?”

The two of them, who had been reunited for the first time in a few years with a sword, began bickering.
No, most of them were Kyrian’s one-sided questions.

The white moon disappeared behind the gray clouds.
Staring at the sky outside the window with her arms folded, Aileen slowly opened her mouth.

“So, you’re saying you asked the Crown Prince to arrange for Grand Duke Kaligo and me to meet?”

“…Yes.”

“And?”

Aileen turned and looked at Lisa, who was lying on the bed.
Lisa barely got up and sat down.

“And… what’s next?”

“Another story—another story you tried to deal with on your own without telling me.”

“…”

“Lisa.”

“…The Grand Duke had accepted Your Highness’ proposal… and spread rumors that there will be an engagement ceremony soon…”

“Haa….”
