《Legacy: Lord Alba》Chapter 48: It can not end like this!
Advertisement
After Audrey was done with her, the Elder spat blood while regret crossed her mind, thinking if only she had stayed quiet when she was told to but who can she blame she was the one who instigated this as she did not expect the other party to take any action towards her in fear of her being an Elder of the Sea Palace being one of the six sects closest to the Alba Kingdom.
The Elder stayed quiet while feeling all the Qi that she has accumulated over the years slowly escape her body while everyone else in the office stood still, it's not that they didn't want to stop Audrey from attacking the elder, it's just that it was too fast for them to even register what had just happened and by the time they came to be the deed was already been done, it can't be helped it's just that the difference between the realms was huge.
Alexander's grandparents did not even speak but they just watched as third parties. At first, they wanted to speak in favor of the ninth because they thought that they had to defend her from their son's absurd actions. But they realized that it was the other way around as even an Elder of the Sea Palace has failed to defend Lewis. As for talking on behalf of their son, it did not even cross their mind because this time they were very disappointed by their son's actions, So they decided to only observe how the situation would progress from here on, as they believed that the ninth would not kill their son.
Lewis's confidence totally collapsed when he saw the Elder in that pitiful state, She was his surety, with whom he could have secured his place on the throne and now it all came down crumbling leaving him no way out of this situation while in his desperation he was thinking about his escape but before he could even act, a furious voice reached his ears: "Now You answer me, Who did you call a criminal?"

Lewis focused his eyes back on the angry woman in front of him, This time he knew he f****d up big time, he could only sigh, "I will withdraw the order to arrest you,....." but before he can finish his sentence Anna pressed her foot on his head while saying " You seriously think it's this easy for you to get out of this, If I didn't possess enough strength I would have been in jail"
by now Lewis knew that he was not in a position to negotiate so he resigned and asked: "What do you want?"
Anna without any hesitation replied: "I want a divorce, I'm sick of you."
"What? Impossible, Where would my face be, If I do that," Lewis was furious, he could not believe that she asked for a divorce so he flared up and as soon as he finished what he said he felt that the pressure on his head increase.
"That's your problem why do I need to care about your face, You should have thought about it before you moved against me, how do you think people will see you when you just ordered an arrest warrant against your own wife, Are you an idiot or what? You've already lost your face when you sent guards to arrest me" said Anna while looking coldly at Lewis thinking (This useless man, how could he be manipulated by someone so easily.)
"Now I'm going to put it like this, either you give me a divorce or I break your legs, you have until I count to one to decide," said Anna.
Lewis was angry when he heard Anna talk to him this way, he could not believe the situation he was in right now, he did not imagine that today When he signed the arrest warrant he also involuntary signed his grave, (I definitely would not have done it if I knew it would end up like this.) thought Lewis.
"It is not necessary for you to count, Miss Anna," saying so an Elder entered the king's office, unlike the last time, This old man entered normally, neither very fast nor slow, This Elder was the former Prime Minister of the Alba Kingdom, Frey. when he saw the physical state of the king he could not help sighing, but he knew that the king truly deserved it as this time he had openly helped the third to frame the ninth which goes against the behavior and doctrine a king should live by. coming to terms with this Frey looked towards Anna and extended his hand, in it there was a vellum made of demonic beast skin: "This is the marriage certificate between you and the king, feel free to do what you want with it" saying so Frey left the vellum to Anna.

Seeing this Anna assuredly gave the order, "Audrey, destroy that vellum, just thinking that I'm still married to this garbage man makes me nauseous," Normally essential documents are made from demonic beast skin, Because this material was very durable, It is said that the durability of the skin increases according to the cultivation of the demonic beast, the scroll made of the weakest demonic skin can last centuries before beginning to decompose.
hearing Anna's order Audrey was very happy as her mistress can finally be free, so she just nodded to express her acknowledgment then went in front of Frey and broke the vellum in two. Against the predictions of the king, his parents did not even try to oppose this matter, because they knew that this relationship was over and Nobody could change that. Besides, with the current strength of Anna and her servant, no one in the kingdom could do anything to her. Besides, although she was not the wife of his son anymore, Alexander was still their grandson and their relationship with Anna does not change. Her divorce was more than justified.
Lewis could only watch Audrey breaking the vellum in two, incapable of doing anything.
Anna, after seeing the broken vellum finally calmed down, So she stopped stepping on the head of her ex-husband, and gave the order to Audrey, "Bring Alexander with you and start packing, we're going out of this palace as soon as we're done"
Frey thinking that they had nowhere to stay, went ahead and said: "Miss Anna if you do not have anywhere to go, you can stay at my house until you can find a place to stay."
"Thank you, Mr. Frey, it would be very helpful if we could stay at your house for some time, we promise not to be a nuisance" For Anna, Frey was one of the few people worth respecting inside the palace, He always treated her very well during the time she spent here, so she gladly accepted his good intentions.
"Haha, It's nothing, you do not have to be so polite", seeing how the other party treated him, he could not help but smile, for him, it was not much of a hassle to do this.
After saying that, Anna turned her head to see her ex-husband, and with a cold look she said, "I warn you if you interrupt my business once again, I won't just stop with breaking a vellum"
After that, Anna exchanged some words of apology and courteous with Alexander's grandparents ignoring the king, not long after they left the office leaving the king alone with the old lady of the Sea Palace who was badly wounded.
After being alone for an unknown time, the king got up from the ground, He did not say a word and just approached the old woman and gave her a medicine pill and then he took a sheet of paper and started writing, After he finished writing he placed it inside an envelope, calling one of his guards he ordered "Take this envelope and send it through the pigeon that has the symbol of the sea palace"
The guard nodded, he took the envelope and left. Meanwhile, the king fell to the ground and could only murmur: "This can not stay like this"

Neophyte: Common Route
A story about self-discovery, interpersonal relationships, magic and magical creatures-- and a silent war. Marsha is about seven years past adulthood and still feels like a scared child in her parents' home. This is exacerbated when she discovers her father has apparently keyed up his destructive, sadistic habits-- leading to a mad dash out of the house with precious cargo in tow and only one idea where to go. This begins her journey, leading to a discovery that will change her life forever. And she never wants to go back. (Warnings: Lots of descriptions of abusive, sadistic and otherwise traumatizing and triggering behavior that a parent perpetuated toward a child or multiple children. Descriptions of violence, a main character with emotional issues that will be dealt with, and a whole lot of the 'aftermath' of battles in a war. Even a few descriptions of some of those battles. Things of that nature. If you can't handle one of those, please do not read.) {I had this idea to write a 'common route' and then 'romance routes' like they do in otomes? Book 1 is the common route, and then at book 2, you choose your love interest. Each of which is encased in their own book.}
