Please Provide Compensation Through Divorce

Chapter 13

‘What if Leto hadn’t appeared then?’

I wasn’t entirely speechless. I had a plan too.

“I intended to publicize the authenticity of the ‘Goddess’s Snowflake.’ By then, Your Majesty would have found evidence that it was fake, just as you did today.”

“The plan is sound, but you knew it would put you in danger.”

“That’s something I had to be prepared for. Not everything in the world resolves peacefully and safely.”

“It shouldn’t be that way.”

Leto spoke firmly.

“Whatever happens, the priority must be safety. Especially in front of the High Priestess. There’s no room for compromise on that point.”

I pondered his words. No matter how much I thought about it, the same conclusion emerged. I asked cautiously.

“Were you worried?”

“…What else could I have been but worried?”

“Maybe… scolding?”

For a moment, Leto seemed at a loss for words. He let out a shallow sigh and muttered.

“It’s frustrating.”@@novelbin@@

Even if he felt frustrated, what could I do? His usual expression was as cold as ice.

Perhaps aware of my thoughts, he spoke in a softer tone.

“Please, don’t put yourself in such situations anymore. I don’t want to see you in danger.”

I could feel it. He was genuinely worried about me. I felt a pang of guilt.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to cause you worry.”

“Alright. It’s a relief that you know now. By the way, are you always this brave?”

I’m not exactly timid. But what gave me the courage today was…

“I also believed in Your Majesty.”
