chapter 86
86 – Excommunication-5
“Ha, think about it again. We weren’t really meant to break up like this, were we?”
Perhaps realizing his own situation, Logan approached Iris with an uncharacteristically servile voice.
She glared at the maid next to her. She expressed her feelings with her whole body that she didn’t even want to meet her eyes with him.
“I think I told you that I would never meet this person.”
“Ha, but Logan-sama spoke so strongly…”
“This is the last time.”
It was not very pleasant for her to show her cold face to the maid she knew.
However, it was inevitable in order to achieve her goal.
A friendly smile was a somewhat effective attitude, but it did not work in all situations.
A person who will eventually smile and move on if you sincerely apologize even if your feelings are a little offended, and a person who has suffered from evil who will destroy the other person at any cost.
Even if the former was the preferred one, a powerless woman like a maid had no choice but to be afraid of the latter.
Make it easy for her to choose.
“I’m sorry! Next time I’ll definitely…”
“No, that’s not important right now! I’m here, why are you saying something different!”
Perhaps even a moment of patience was too much for him, and Logan quickly got angry and ran at it.
However, he couldn’t touch Iris’ body. It was something I had tried once, and I knew that it would end badly.
“Because I have nothing to say. Our relationship is over. From now on, we will live each other’s lives. That’s all.”
“But… You know my situation, right? I was kicked out of Selam, and I have no place to go at this rate!”
“Let’s ask the official in charge of the task.”
Of course, if you take the men of Selam as a standard, you won’t be able to live a very prosperous life.
He is the man the princess abandoned. Even now, countless speculations and rumors were spreading like wildfire as to why Iris gave up on Logan.
If you are a person of moderate wealth and status, even if you are afraid of Iris, you will not be able to take him with you.
“What, what are you talking about. My life. What about my youth, which was tied up because of you!”
Even so, there was no way that a woman of noble status who would not be intimidated by Iris would take Logan.
Iris and her political rivals already had lovers of their own, and her young ladies felt uneasy about Logan’s age.
, I couldn’t meet decent girls in Selam, and I couldn’t live comfortably.
“I don’t think you’ve got a lot of money. I won’t take away even a present. I’ll think of it as a reward for my… Fault.”
Bags and carriages, villas and beautiful robes.
In order to win his heart, Iris would buy and offer her expensive things beyond her imagination.
Even if you sell it at a reasonable price, ordinary citizens will get money that they can’t even imagine.
Even if that is not the case, in the end, the state cannot leave men unattended. As in Selam, he may not get the best goods and services, but at least he won’t let him starve to death.
“That, how are you going to make a living with it? Besides, what are you going to sell!”
“Why can’t I sell it?”
“It’s… A gift from you.”
Those words were unexpected for Iris. She carefully looked into his eyes, but in the end, she couldn’t help but be disappointed.
His eyes were still burning with greed and tenacity.
In the first place, she was really a ‘precious gift from her lover’, so if I wanted to keep it, I would have done a little better for her alive.
Just that, it was a ‘precious item’. It was clear that the money that went into buying the item and the sincerity of Iris who handed it over had already been forgotten.
It was disgustingly thick and creepy-deep greed.
“I have to join the party, and that… If you don’t accept me, I will have no choice but to lean on another girl!”
I knew that he was already dating another woman. He is much younger than Iris, and younger, Oksana. Or she is a woman younger than herself.
However, they were women who met to obtain physical pleasure in the end.
He might have the minimum qualifications, but he wasn’t wealthy enough to satisfy Logan’s luxury.
“Do it yourself.”
But, when you think about how hard and painful life is.
No matter how much Logan suffers, he will live a ridiculously comfortable and comfortable life compared to Evan.
“Are you really going to come out like this? The secret you’re hiding. Do you want me to tell you everything?”
“Please do so.”
Logan gritted his teeth at Iris’ confident attitude.
“You, the other day, you blamed the Blue Hawk Knights for your mistake. What will people think when they find out about that?”
“…That incident. You must have done the wrong thing.”
“It’s not like I need people’s support. I’ve gone as far as I can go anyway. But aren’t you?”
Logan’s guilt was not weak, and Iris, who became a lover once, had to cover up that fault instead.
He thought he couldn’t help it. I thought about what I should do.
Because they considered it a betrayal to sever a relationship with a person once formed.
I didn’t even think about running away or fighting head-on. Iris, she was bonded to Logan even though she knew it wasn’t right for her.
“That’s right.”
“…What?”
She had no intention of denying that past.
“However, you will have to choose wisely. I would like to be a man without any relationship with you, but…”
Iris’s eyes became sharp. She hadn’t shown it in her days with Logan, but she had no reason not to threaten him now.
“If you fight really ugly and pitifully without being afraid of hurting each other… You will realize that the worst life you thought was actually like heaven.”
“Hee, hee…”
No matter how much Logan is a man, his attitude was excessive. Iris was the princess, and Logan’s insult to the imperial family and the princess was punishable enough.
The reason I was able to do that casually was because of my baseless pride.
‘Even if I do this, this relationship will not be broken.’ The same lame and naive self-awareness.
Within Logan, that perception was broken, albeit a little. He was filled with fear.
Iris turned her head to her cold eyes. Being her man, she was just putting on the rarity of being a member of the royal family, a culprit she wasn’t even worth looking her in the eye with.
“To prevent this from happening again. The meeting follows the formal legal process.”
Iris looked at her frozen maid and gave her one last warning.
“I don’t want to imagine if it’s not respected… I, don’t want our relationship to break up, okay?”
“Okay!”
As if to make up for her mistake, the maid roughly pushed Logan away from clinging to Iris.
“You, what are you doing! Where are you touching! Do you want to go to jail?”
“Wow, it’s the princess’ order! It can’t be helped!”
Iris walked away from Logan without giving her a glance.

“Wait. Divorce… So, you broke up with Logan?”
“Yes. We have officially ended our relationship. He and I are now just strangers with no relationship whatsoever.”
Although she said that Iris helped me, she honestly didn’t have high expectations.
They were gladiators who were not very interested in conversations about politics, but if they were a tycoon at the level of the princess, it was a person who couldn’t help but talk about it.
Those who criticize her and her criticize her, as well as her lover.
“Are you disappointed?”
“No. Well, it’s a personal matter… To be honest, it’s kind of fortunate.”
Having met him in person, I couldn’t give a good evaluation even with empty words.
I was not a proper person. No matter how rude and selfish the men in this world are, he crossed the line.
“I’m glad… Is it?”
“Because he wasn’t a good person.”
For some reason, her eyes seemed to sparkle.
“So, for the time being, I think I can focus on protecting you. There are also quite a few complaints about the Pungi Guard… There will be conflicts, but we will be able to resolve them soon.”
This was good news. It’s just that they’re not making a fuss in front of the Colosseum, because the other gladiators were criticizing them without even trying.
“But, are you sure you’re okay?”
“Of course. From the beginning, it was just a lack of courage.”
“Courage…”
If you think of common sense in this world, you will not be able to perform the great task of dumping a man without a fair amount of courage.
“I’m glad it’s not a bad thing.”
“…That courage. It was an honor to receive it.”
Iris came a little closer. She held my hand carefully, as if touching a child.
“Yes?”
When I saw her briefly in her ward, she was thinking of her just in case.
However, I didn’t expect it to be this much.
“That, under the terms of the contract. The royal woman who likes you too much.”
“No way…”
“Yes. It was me.”
Iris had a fresh and pure smile, as if she was forcibly trying to look bewitching.
