Chapter 16: The Divorce Mediation Between Sauvell and Agriel
Translator: Masakibluei
Approximately after Rovel’s audience with the King has finished, Agriel who is unable to come for the meeting is staying in another room with her daughter. Because she can not see Rovel’s audience with the King, she begins to throw a tantrum. Due to the overflow demands of aristocrats to be presented during the audience, there was a restriction that only one representative or the head of family who was allowed to be presented.
Agriel: “Why can’t I be in the same room!!”
‘I am a princess!’ She shouts that out loud every time and begins to find faults at Amiel and the maids.
Agriel: “It’s terrible that I am unable to seek an audience with my Esteem Father!”
She cuddles her daughter who is depressed and yells, ‘Even my daughter is also upset like this!’
Maid in the palace: “I sincerely apologize. Only the head of the family of each house is allowed to go to Lord Rovel’s audience with the King.”
Agriel: “What did you say!? I’m the princess of this country! It’s a natural matter to accompany my husband when he greets the King!”
Both the knight and the maid who are attending Agriel, are getting confuse when Agriel mentioned her husband.
Knight: “………Pardon me. The head of Vankriff house also does not attend the audience. He is waiting in another room.”
Agriel: “What was that!?”
Agriel raises her eyes. She then suspects that because she is still considered as Sauvell’s wife, she could not attend the audience. Thus, she bites her lips in frustration. Before she came here, she went to the Bureau of Justice Enforcement to request for a divorce and threw her fan at someone at the office.
Representatives from the Bureau of Justice Enforcement have been called as well as Agriel who is waiting in another room. All of them gather in Agriel’s waiting room. When they come into the room and see Amiel standing behind her mother, they feel uncomfortable.
“Bringing a child to a place like this………”
Agriel: “What do you mean. It precisely because this is the time! Right, Amiel.”
Amiel: “Yes, Esteem Mother.”
The two representatives from the bureau begin to suspect Agriel who looks overly excited.
Lafissel: “Agriel.”
Agriel: “Lafis older brother!”
Lafissel: “Long time no see, Amiel.”
Amiel: “Yes, uncle.”
Lafissel strokes Amiel’s head. Their interaction makes it seems like they are just doing a family reunion at the moment. At that time, an officer calls Agriel.
Lafissel: “Amiel, Agriel and Sauvell will have an important talk at this place. Therefore, please come over here.”
Amiel: “Yes.”
Looking at Amiel who is obediently following Lafissel’s instruction, it can be concluded that her real nature is an obedient child. The other adults in the room begin to pity her and wonder if she could withstand what is coming ahead of her.
Officer: “I officially start the court.”
As the officer has officially started the court, Sauvel and Agriel start to line up as the involved party. Both of them are mutually glaring at each other. The other who present in the court are starting to feel their divorce as a reality from watching their hostility against each other.
Officer: “This court trial is held as requested by Agriel Vankriff. Is there any discrepancy in this fact?”
Agriel: “No. There is no discrepancy.”
Officer: “Sauvell Vankriff, do you have any objection on this court trial?”
Sauvell: “I don’t.”
Officer: “Very well. Agriel Vankriff is the plaintiff who wishes to divorce her husband, Sauvell Vankriff. According to the report, the reason behind her request is to have a relationship with another man…Is there any mistake about this?”
Agriel: “Fu. It is just as you said. The reason is well justified.”
Agriel who answers confidently and naturally accept the statements makes the officer raise his eyebrows. But Agriel does not realize his perplex reaction. All Agriel’s answers to the officer’s questions are recorded.
Officer: “Agriel Vankriff. You can no longer ask for marriage as a sinner who breaks a vow which you had swore to God. “
Agriel: “What…How can it be!?”
Officer: “You break the vow to support and stay together with your husband. Despite being married to your husband, you keep longing for another man. The evidence of your infidelity is the child. In addition, your excessive spending also violates your marriage vow. “
Agriel: “What are you saying!? I’m just going back to my original fiancé!!”
Officer: “………fiancé?”
Agriel: “My fiancé, Rovel Vankriff!”
With her revelation, the officer does not hide his suspicious expression from his face.
Officer: “Your previous engagement with Lord Rovel had been dissolved. Moreover, I heard that Lord Rovel had never gone back to the human realm for the past 10 years………”
Agriel: “He obviously came back to pick me up!!”
The officer turns his eyes on Agriel’s brazen insistences.
Officer: “…………Lord Rovel, this is……”
Rovel: “I did not come back to pick up Agriel. The first time I knew Agriel was married to my little brother was on the occasion when I came back to my parents’ home.”
Officer: “Ah……”
The rumor about Agriel has been spread all over the country. The officer must have heard the rumors before the trial. After that conversation, the officer changes the way he looks at Agriel.
Agriel: “What did you say! Lord Rovel can’t ever forget his feelings for me! Why can’t you understand this fact!?”
At this point, Agriel’s abnormal behavior has been understood by everyone. Hence, everyone else in the courtroom looks at Rovel and Sauvell with sympathetic eyes. Meanwhile, both Rovel and Sauvell let out a sigh over the whole situation.
Rovel: “Please proceed without worrying.”
Officer: “All right.”
While disregarding Agriel’s insistences, the officer read out the list of Agriel’s offenses one by one. When Agriel hears all those charges against her, her face gradually turns really bad.
Officer: “Consequently, the divorce mediation between Sauvell Vankriff and Agriel Vankriff will be determined base on these facts.”
Agriel: “This is a lie! Wait for a second, what do you mean that I can’t marry Rovel!!”
