To Help You Understand – Chapter 8
Winter didn’t answer. He just kept his mouth shut and watched her.
Winter, who was thinking about what to say for a long time, finally opened his mouth and said. “If you want a divorce, I’ll give it to you anytime.”
“Really?”
“But of course, you have to return the money I paid for the marriage.”
Violet paused at his words. Winter continued with a calm face.
“Of course, three years will bring interest. You’ll just have to give me 27 million dollars.”
“……”
“Oh, I’m going to take out the interest because you have worked hard in three years you’ve been my wife. And what else should I do? …Do you want me to pay for rolling on the bed?”
As Winter approached, Violet gradually stepped back. Just before her body touched the wall, Winter inadvertently put his hand between Violet’s head and the wall to cover the back of her head, thinking he should protect the princess.
“I know you lost a lot by marrying me. But isn’t it just a bigger loss to continue a marriage that you don’t want?”
“Whose will…”
“Getting divorced will put me in debt. I know I can’t pay you back on my own. I can die at work. But… that’s in your interest.”
“You’re going to get divorced like that? Why? What the hell is the reason?”
Violet smiled vaguely without even realizing it.
“That’s what I said. I still don’t know why. What the hell are you……why do you hate me so much?”
“… what?”
Winter couldn’t understand why she was saying this. He thought in disbelief, my wife is asking me why I hate her so much.
Winter’s hands trembled. It seemed like a typhoon was blowing in his body. His whole body was being swept with anger and frustration as if blood were boiling all over his body. She was out of her mind, and so was he.
He wanted to hold her. If his thoughts were not dragged in right away and locked up tightly in his mind, they would become a problem for him.
But the only thing that could be done was to give an answer which was much difficult.
“I don’t hate you. I just don’t want to get divorced. No one will help you if I don’t want a divorce anyway. You know that much.”
“… I know.”
“Then don’t bring that up again.”
Winter stepped away from her. Then, he took a deep breath looking into the air for a moment, turned around, and went into the bedroom. At the sound of the door slamming, Violet flinched, she closed her eyes tightly and opened them again.
“I don’t hate you.”
“Lies.”
Violet walked to her room sadly speaking to herself.
***
Her conversation with Winter certainly made her understand. As long as the money was intertwined, it was impossible to get a divorce.
I hated Ash from my heart, but I needed his help. It was Ash who didn’t keep the promise for her husband’s money. Now that he has fully paid off his debts and has started gaining public support, he is now almost the only one with the power to help her.
I wanted a divorce, so I sent Winter to find a way to confer any title. Violet thought that it would not be very impossible to bend the law because he had supporters. She knew there was no reason for the divorce of the two and she would not seek out Ash if there was no money at stake.
A few days later, Violet got on the train leaving the capital. Winter sat opposite her. He seemed determined to pretend he hadn’t heard about the divorce.
He emptied a glass of beer before the train even started. He drank incessantly over the course of seven hours.
Violet, who couldn’t endure him doing this, opened her mouth.
“Don’t you think you are drinking too much?”
“Not at all.” Winter was sarcastic. “Why? I guess it’s so vulgar to drink in the eyes of the princess because she can’t stand it?”
“My father drank a lot, too. I’m just worried. I’m afraid you won’t be able to live long and-”
“And what.”
“I’m not saying you’re a vulgar person.”
Violet said the word and shut her mouth. She thought Winter would be annoyed, but he looked at Violet with a slightly dazed look, he turned his head toward the window and touched his chin with his hand, and said,
“… Good-looking, hah.”
Violet tilted her head a little bit and saw Winter sitting in the opposite direction. The strong wind coming through the open window had tangled his black hair, clinging to the glossy, copper skin, and then dropping again and again. She tried to organize her mind, but she failed to do so because Winter was looking so handsome.
As the house got closer, Violet felt her breath twisting she felt a little sick.
Still, Violet felt refreshed with a short vacation and medicine prescribed by her doctor. In particular, when the medicine was changed, the headache decreased to less than half, so Violet felt like she was flying away.
Seven hours later, Winter arrived at the station and asked Violet who was following him down.
“That’s great. How can you come all the way here being in the same posture all the time?”
While he was sarcastic, Violet smiled for the first time in a while.
“How can you change your posture so many times? I thought I was coming here with a child.”
“The chair is uncomfortable.”
Winter was grumbling sarcastically as if nothing had really happened.
Finally, Winter, who fisted his hands in his two pockets headed to the place where the carriage was waiting, he looked back to see where Violet was because there was no sign of her following him. He saw that Violet was looking at a boy who was standing with a basket of flowers.
Violet slowly turned her head toward Winter and opened her mouth.
“Will you buy me some flowers? In return for the contract.”
Then, Winter replied with intimidation.
“Don’t, you can buy anything later just ask for the right one.”
“I like flowers.”
“Then you can buy them later, besides the flowers in the house are better than that.”
“While we’re talking about it, it’s more comfortable if you buy it for me. The flowers in the house are not gifts. I want to get a flower as a gift. Buy me flowers.”
Winter had no idea what was different between the two flowers, but he didn’t have a reason to refuse anymore and walked to the boy. He looked in the basket of the boy and bought an unbloomed rose and returned to Violet.
“Come on.”
“Thank you.”
Violet took the rose he handed bluntly with both hands. Violet, who had been bitter for a long time and did not to look like a person who liked receiving a gift, smiled with her eyes at Winter.
“It’s pretty.”
“I think I’m laughing at you now for asking for a divorce.”
“I know.”
Violet walked home carefully, protecting the flowers with her hands.
When Violet returned to her bedroom, she brought a vase that had been left in the warehouse and put in the flowers that Winter had given her.
***
Winter stayed for a week and returned to the capital. He was still busy at work and had not talked to Violet, but it was the first time he had been in the mansion for so long.
Violet couldn’t figure out why Winter hated divorce so much.
Without the knowledge, I thought about whether this marriage is economically beneficial to him or not, but there is no way to confirm it now.
Today, 15 days after he left the mansion, there was a birthday party for the Duke of James Blooming.
Winter will be back for his father’s birthday party this evening.
And Violet was going to talk to him more when he came back.
As usual, Violet wore a purplish-black dress for teatime till lunch. When she was ready, the door opened without her permission and Ash Lawrence walked in. Catherine Blooming stood behind him.
Violet picked herself up. She felt uneasy about the stiff look on the faces of the two. Ash said ridiculously.
“A divorce? Why would you want that? Why? What is the reason?”
Violet paused at his angry voice. Then Catherine, who came with him, looked sad. She glanced at Ash and spoke.
“Violet, I really… I did my best. It was over when you lied that you were sick without giving it a single thought.”
Catherine continued in a trembling voice that Violet couldn’t stand anymore.
“I know you felt like Winter’s identity lacking. But didn’t you agree to marry? Violet, you’re in my family now. No matter how much you are a princess, you shouldn’t be so selfish. I know it’s because I didn’t teach you properly, but… I’m really upset.”
Violet thought her heart was breaking down. She remembered Catherine and her friends who had been insulting her for hours.
When she thought about the days when she couldn’t say a word and listened to it all, she felt like she was losing her mind. She couldn’t live like this anymore.
She spoke out.
“I don’t care about my husband’s status. That’s not why I want a divorce. I don’t want to stand around at tea time anymore.”
“Vio- Violet…”
Tears fell from Catherine’s eyes. Violet ignored her and looked at Ash.
“And I don’t know why I have to be told off by people. You’re the one who really lied. But why would I…”
Ash cut her off as if he was afraid, she was full of energy.
“You know that dissolving the royal family was what the people wanted. You heard them protesting in front of the royal castle every day, right? But how can you be so selfish?”
In fact, Ash had a reason to stop the divorce unconditionally.
The Blooming couple, Ash Lawrence and Catherine conspired to take the money that Winter had divided into Violet’s property. Fortunately, Winter did not meddle in Violet’s property at all.
But most of all, he thought that Ash was royal, so he did not know that Ash was helping take Violet’s property without leaving any trace at the bank.
Violet’s divorce soon meant they will lose all the money. Therefore, they had to break Violet’s self-esteem and ensure that she stayed married.
Both Catherine and Ash thought that it was very vulgar to hit their own ((family) with their hands. The nobles never hit their children even if they were wrong. Instead, they chose to lock them in the closet.
Ash asked Catherine politely.
“Mrs. Catherine. I’ll give you permission to correct this child in any way. Please.”
Then Catherine nodded and said,
“Violet, it’s a punishment for you. You understand, right?”
“What’s does that mean…”
Violet was trying to figure out the situation, two of Catherine’s maids grabbed her and pushed her into the closet. The lock was locked with a chain around the door handle. Catherine said in a trembling voice.
“Do you know how my heart hurts every time you do this to me, my daughter? Reflect on yourself here until dinner.”
After a while, the only sound she heard the sound of their feet moving away and the door closing.
It was quiet everywhere.
Violet sat down in a daze.
Her mind, which had been fidgeting with her forehead leaning against the wall for a while, came to think about death.
Then she remembered the day she wanted to die.
On that day, her body changed after she ate all the sleeping pills.
