The divorce of Shananet and Vestian in their previous lives was quite a scandal.

Especially because Lombardy's internal affairs were always a good gossip and divorce was not so common among nobles.

But despite being such a hot topic, no exact reason for their divorce has been determined.

Of course, the rumors ran rampant.

From the rumor that Vestian had another woman and Shananet knew where the woman lived, which led her to kick Vestian out.

All sorts of squabble followed together.

"Is it really a matter of infidelity...”

To be honest, I didn't think so.

Although Vestian Schultz is said to be good-looking and have a likable appearance, that's really all.

Even the Schultz family was not treated very well among the nobles.

No, their existence itself was indistinct.

After getting married, the Schultz family was on the track to becoming a central aristocrat.

Among the nobles are Shananet and Vestian, who had a rare marriage of love.

I thought he was a nice guy, but I don't think that he is anymore.

On the other hand, how about Shananet?

She’s beautiful, elegant, and sweet.

She is the eldest daughter of Lombardy too.

Before marriage, Shananet was in charge of all the family affairs.

Some even said that she would become the next Lombardy matriarch

But somehow after marriage, Shananet started to lay low and now she's really doing the bare minimum.

Acting like someone who wants to be small and invisible.

Her abilities were wasted.

"Yeah, something's not right."

In retrospect, Shananet and Vestian's divorce was full of incoherent things.

"Why didn't they fight?"

It is common for couples to fight for custody of their children, no matter what the problem is between them.

But Shananet did not put up a fight.

Like someone who got divorced because it was her fault.

After handing over the twins and substantial alimony to Vestian, she went down to the rest house.

Malley is Lombardy's rest house, it's quite far and takes more than three weeks by carriage.

Shananet locked herself up there.

That made rumors in society that the reason for their divorce must have been Shananet's doing.

Shananet knew about the rumors but neither explained nor gave a precise reason.

There was nothing but silence.

Before long, Vestian remarried a woman from Schultz's estate.

"As if he had been waiting."1

Suspicious

Maybe it was because they came from the same estate so they understood each other.

"Hmmm……."

While so lost in thought, Clerivan opened the door to the office and came in.

“You came, Clerivan?”

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"You've been very busy lately. It's natural for me to wait”

With the diamond boom throughout the empire, Clerivan was really running around to the point of fire on the soles of his feet. [1]

In particular, the requests from the nobles were pouring in.

It would be nice to just take orders on a first-come, first-served basis, but that's stupid.

The aristocrats who are bent on receiving diamonds before others are easy to handle.

But I told Clerivan not to be bribed by the nobles.

You don't need to ask for a favor to reduce the waiting period just to get a few more pennies.

Needless to say, it is much more profitable to make them indebted.

Of course, Clerivan was doing a very good job.

"Who were you with today?"

"I'm on my way back from Pentwood, Wallen, and Lombardy."

“Was grandpa present?”

“Yes, we were talking about Mrs. Shananet’s necklace….”

There was a necklace Shananet cherished.

It was a keepsake of Natalia, the mother of Shananet and my grandmother.

"It's a simple sapphire necklace, so diamonds would look good on her. Say you'll do it in a month or two."

“Yes, Miss Florentia”

I looked a little closer at the face of the nodding Clerivan.

“What’s wrong?”

“You were too busy these days that I thought you wouldn’t look that well. But now that I look at you, you actually look better?”

"It's because I'm cut out for work. The business is going well and booming, so I have no choice but to be energetic."

Clerivan even showed me that his skin is much smoother than before.

It's really milky and glossy like a peeled hardboiled egg.
