Please Provide Compensation Through Divorce

Chapter 26

"Don't let hatred consume you, Your Majesty."

Quinas had said. Leto, who had been listening intently, clenched his fist.

He already knew the meaning of those words. He had lashed out at the High Priest during the day. How desolate his face had looked when he accidentally saw it afterward.

It was Livia who pulled him out of that abyss. Like a gentle light, she allowed him to breathe again.@@novelbin@@

Quinas had faintly smiled.

"Do not be afraid. Only then will you achieve."

These were Quinas' last words to Leto.

Late at night, Leto sat on his desk. In his hand was an empty necklace box.

Just a single kiss on the neck had made her blush. He recalled how she had covered her neck and stepped back. It had been incredibly endearing, enough to make him smile. But it also unsettled him.

'Right now, she only steps back, but given the chance, she would run away.'

That was what Leto feared the most. Losing Livia completely, and her talk of divorce becoming a reality.

So he tried to match her pace. When she pushed him away, he retreated, and when she refused, he accepted it.

But... even he had his limits.

Snap.

He closed the box firmly.

"I need to drive in the wedge."

The selection process for the vice-captain of the Royal Guard consisted of three stages: document screening, preliminary selection, and final selection.

Shawn almost got eliminated in the document screening due to the collective opposition of the knights. They didn’t want a mage in the Royal Guard.

At that time, the captain of the guard had said,

"Then just beat him in the competition."
