When I Announced A Divorce, The Obsessive Maniac Went Crazy

 Chapter 128 “Inspect the mansion?”While playing with Cherry, I tilted my head curiously at Cesare’s instructions given by Sir Joseph.Sir Joseph answered with a smile.“Yes, you’re right. We have to check the mansion of the Burstoad Townhouse near the Imperial Palace, not this temporary cottage. I hope you’re not too busy, madam.”“No. Not really….”I trailed off.I had just been playing with Cherry.I couldn’t be busy.More like bored.Ever since the day the Marquis Gallard kidnapped me, Cesare had been what you might call overprotective. ‘Is there no pain anywhere? Did you take the medicine?’ He had personally taken care of my medicines, even though he was busy.He also had a maid report to him to make sure I was resting properly and not complaining of any pain. ‘Never wander outside alone, Daphne. Work? You’re not even fully healed yet.’ When I went out of the mansion to go out for a walk because I was bored, he keeps saying that I must be accompany with the knights.I was bored of being still, and when I tried to do the Duchess duties, he would snatch away the papers I was looking at.But Cesare, who had done so, suddenly asked me to inspect the mansion through Sir Joseph.I was happy to have something to do while I was bored, but I also had doubts.“By the way, aren’t we going to return to the Burstoad estate soon anyway? Is it really necessary to inspect the mansion? … And as far as I can remember, Cesare saw it once when he came up to the capital.”“Your Excellency said that if you go down to the territory this time, you will not come up for at least 10 years, so you need to check it one last time.”“Aha.”We won’t come for 10 years.Our Cesare. The capital is really shaking now, isn’t it?Looking back on the events that happened after he ascended to the capital at the order of Emperor, his feelings for the capital’s imperial family and aristocrats could only drop.A trial is held and he is framed, imprisoned in the imperial dungeon, and divorced from his wife.It was an eventful time for him.Cesare was not the only one who suffered.I also went through a lot of hardship.I was deceived by Gabriel and imprisoned in a house.I didn’t want to divorce, but I had to divorce Cesare.After leaving Gabriel’s residence, I had to deal with the Empress and the Marquis of Gallard.In the end, though, we overcame all the hardships and resolved them well.“But does that mean I don’t have to show my face in the capital for ten years? I’m still a Duchess…”“I have no power to alter your resolve, Duchess.”Joseph gave his a tired look.After all, Cesare is a man who, once he makes a decision, has to stick with it.Who wins over that stubbornness?I gave Joseph a compassionate smile.“You worked hard, sir.”“Thank you.”“Well, Cesare has his mind made up, so I suppose that’s what he decided.”It is said that the Emperor told Cesare to be his strength until the moment Gabriel became Emperor.Cesare agreed to the contract in exchange for my return.In the meantime, I doubted whether Cesare would be able to stay in the estate at will, but it wasn’t something I had to worry about.Cesare is not a thoughtless person.He would have taken care of everything.“And I prefer Burstoad than Capital, too.”Although it is less glamorous, it smells nice and, above all, feels like my home.“His Excellency says he’s too busy dealing with the Bariol victims, but he would like you to handle it yourself.”It was also true that Cesare was busy.Now that the enemy was no longer a threat, an overwhelming amount of work had replaced it.Recently, Cesare has been living a life of going out looking at the stars at dawn and returning with the night sky.When her husband works so hard, she can’t just sit around and play.It must have been upset that I had not been able to show my side as a Duchess in the past, so I gladly agreed.“I see. Then what should I do?”“You just need to make sure that the possessions recorded in the books are actually being kept. In fact, most of the things have been checked by the butler, and I think madam will only need to check the valuables kept in the townhouse.”I received the ledger from Joseph.It is a ledger that records only valuables, but it was still quite thick.That’s why I want to be able to do it all within today.I decided to go straight to the townhouse because I thought it would be better to do it quickly so that I can get rid of the horns at once.“Shannet. Do I need to dress up like this?”“Madam. It’s been a while since you’ve been out. Just leave it to me.”I’m just going to work, but Shannet decorated me with all her heart and soul.I thought I was overdressed for work, but I was excited to look pretty after a long time.After finishing work, should I call Cesare and go out on a date?Until now, for various reasons, I couldn’t even go on a proper date with Cesare, so it seemed like a good idea.While planning a date with Cesare, the carriage arrived at the townhouse.The door to the townhouse opened.“Huh?”The first thing that greeted me was the strong scent of flowers.As soon as I saw the flower decorations filling the mansion, I stopped.Pink roses are decorated throughout the mansion.I felt like I could throw a ball in this townhouse right now.At the same time, I began to hear sweet music coming from somewhere.Suddenly, I remembered a wish I’d expressed to Cesare at the party held to get Princess Eilish out. ‘There has to be sweet music, and there has to be the scent of flowers, and I must hear you ask me to be your wife and live with you for the rest of your life.’ That request to propose to me again when everything is over.Cesare is now fulfilling that request.“Daphne.”I turned to where the voice was coming from.Cesare was standing where my eyes could reach.His hair was neatly pulled back, and his clothes were neatly put on.And in his arms was a large bouquet of red roses.Thump-My heart started beating.I felt excited and nervous at the same time.I felt my voice catch in my throat, and I whispered.“Cesare. What is this…”“The things you asked me to do.”Cesare approached me and gave me a bouquet of flowers.The bouquet was so large that I felt like being buried in it.There was a strong scent of roses.The scent was so strong that I couldn’t feel any other scents.For some reason, I thought that my cheeks might be redder than the rose.I held the bouquet tighter in my arms and covered my face.Cesare asked me what I thought.“Do you like it?”“I…….”He asked me if I liked it after organizing a proposal event.It was like a student getting his homework checked by a teacher, but it was also very CesareIn the first place, Cesare wasn’t the type of man to prepare for such an event.Because all the necklaces that were handed me at the Burstoad Festival were just ideas from Sir Joseph.However, at my whispered words asking that such a man to propose again, he decorated the mansion with flowers, sang an orchestra, and prepared a large bouquet of roses.I didn’t want to hide the feelings I was feeling right now.I answered Cesare honestly.“I really like it.”“I’m glad.”Cesare laughed softly.He stood right in front of me.Cesare looked a little nervous.The red eyes shining under the eyelashes were serious.With a trembling heart, I received without avoiding his gaze.He slowly knelt down in front of me.“Daphne.”Click, a small box opens.It is a wedding ring that will be a token of our vow of love.He looked up at me and whispered.“Will you please be my companion?”At that moment, I felt completely included in this world.My short life was left to me as a faded landscape painting.It was old and shabby, and no one cared about it.Even I, the owner, turned my back on my life.But here, I found a new path.Using the experiences I had with Cesare, I painted over my past life and drew a new picture.There were good things and bad things.The paintings, which were mixed with dark colors as well as bright colors, were blotchy and had a somewhat ugly appearance.But the newly painted picture is more lively and brighter than before.And I liked the new drawing I drew.“Yes, I do.”A soft laugh flowed out.Cesare slipped the ring on my finger.It was a simple, clean diamond ring, just as I had asked him.I marveled at how he’d done exactly as I’d asked.I giggled adorably at his effort, and Cesare stroked my cheek.Our lips touched and my eyes closed.From now on, I will live by Cesare’s side as his wife and under the name of Daphne Burstoad.With him, forever. The End—Thank you so much for reading my translation.
