Having woken up from a long reverie, Ivonne gently stroked the head of the fox that was still looking at her.
“After that day, Blitzen never came to see me. Even when he heard about the lingering effects of the poison that surfaced late and how I was in critical condition, he didn’t call for a doctor or prescribe any medicine. And above all else…”
A faint smirk appeared on Ivonne’s lips.
“Even when he carried her, he called her Lady Cyand, but from the next day onwards, he kept calling her ‘Celestia.’ Even on that day I miraculously recovered, they had a picnic in the early spring garden.”
Could anyone not know? That his heart was directed towards Lady Cyand.
Ivonne spoke as if she were talking about someone else, with a dry and nonchalant tone. In fact, there was no reason not to be dry.
‘It’s been almost a month since he brought Lady Cyand who poisoned me. Hmm, I even started to hope that he might inform me of the break up soon. I never thought the wind could change so suddenly.’
The surprise at Blitzen’s confession was not because she was hurt by his actions, but because of the thought, ‘The protagonist can truly cheat with the villainess.’
After all, since her possession, Ivonne had been contemplating getting a break up every day. It was more amusing that she was now shocked by Blitzen’s betrayal.
However, the fox, oblivious to these facts, patted her hand as if sensing Ivonne’s mood. In response, Ivonne let out a short laugh.
“You’re truly amazing. It’s like you understand every word people say.”
Though she thought it was unlikely, this place was a world from a romance ‘fantasy’ novel, so it was unknown.
“Is that so? There’s something that keeps making me talk to you.”
“…”
“You don’t have to worry too much, be cautious, or anything like that. I’m really okay. I told you, didn’t I? I knew it would be like this.”
The fox gazed at her with its purple eyes, mysteriously enchanting.
‘Purple… eyes.’
Since purple dye could only be obtained from lapis lazuli, it used to be a very rare color in the past. Based on such historical authenticity, in <Childhood Husband>, purple was the symbol of the imperial family, and those with the ‘purple eyes’ were considered the emperor’s heirs.
‘In the original, the person with purple was the crown prince, right?’
He was a lunatic who killed the crown prince, his half-brother, in front of the emperor, threatening to name himself the crown prince and inciting numerous wars of conquest. There weren’t many scenes in the original that dealt with him, but the shocking setting left a strong impression.
‘To think of such a cruel person while looking at this affectionate fox.’
She felt apologetic. Her affectionate fox was still only concerned about her. Look at it now. As Ivonne gently stroked the space between its eyes with her thumb, the fox closed its eyes as if smiling and purred contentedly.
However, if Ivonne’s touch slowed even slightly, the fox would open its eyes and meet her gaze. It wasn’t bad as if the fox was gauging Ivonne’s mood.
“You’re such a warm and caring child. How did you survive in the wild?”
As she stroked the bridge of the fox’s nose, its calm response, savoring the touch, seemed unexpectedly gentle. As she conversed with the fox, the discomfort of recalling her ex-boyfriend due to the fickle Blitzen gradually dissipated.
‘Is this animal therapy?’
Thinking that it was quite effective, Ivonne embraced the fox and lay down completely.
“Mm, it’s soft….”
As Ivonne kissed the fox’s forehead, its tail swelled with a “poof!” but it didn’t flee from her embrace.

The day after receiving the notice of the breakup from Blitzen.
Early in the morning, Blitzen invited Ivonne to breakfast. Apart from having breakfast with Blitzen, it had been a while since she had a proper meal, so Ivonne accepted Blitzen’s meal invitation without hesitation. However, before the meal could properly begin, Blitzen brought up the main point.
“You don’t really need to read it. It’s just the obvious stuff. You just need to sign at the bottom of the last page.”
That was a request to sign the break up request to be submitted to the temple. But even this, Ivonne had secretly expected it, so she wasn’t surprised or hesitant.
“You can’t do that. You should read every contract carefully.”
With her thin fingers, which had become parched from the month of suffering from the poisoning because of Celestia, she slowly flipped through about ten sheets of documents.
Blitzen seemed a little displeased, but he didn’t say anything more, seeing Ivonne’s behavior indicating she would readily agree to the break up.
As the warmth on the surface of the bread cooled and a film formed on the soup with milk, Ivonne signed at the bottom of the last page of the break up request. Unavoidable satisfaction flickered across Blitzen’s face as he observed her do so.
He cleared his throat and said.
“I feel sorry for the sudden divorce. So, I’ll really give you the Azolt copper mine and 500,000 gold, as you requested.”
It was the break up condition that Ivonne had presented while reviewing the documents a little earlier.
– I’m a commoner. I’ve been living here for the past 10 years, so there’s no appropriate match for me. I hope you’ll show me this last consideration. It wouldn’t hurt your reputation, would it?
