I’ll Just Be Friends With My Ex-Husband - Chapter 67-1

Gerald leaned his arm against the carriage.

“I can’t stay still.” Gerald swept his hair back. The banquet hall glistened splendidly from the outside.

He followed his father to an important meeting this afternoon. Unlike the regular meetings held once a week, it was a quarterly meeting held by the private council, so it ended late at night.

Originally, the Crown Prince was expected to attend the meeting of that specific council, but he was unable to attend because of the banquet.

Thanks to him, it ended earlier than usual. While he was at it, he visited Louella’s house and heard the news.

Gerald sighed.

[You can solve it quickly so that she doesn’t have to do this. That’s what we have already discussed?]

“I’m looking for the easiest way to access people.” Gerald muttered.

One of Gerald’s ideas was a fairy tale book. Children learn new myths in the form of fairy tales. And through Billiers, scholars were invited to compile the book.

The title was ‘Mythology from a Twisted Perspective’. Everything was written in a different way than what everyone knew. The way to get access to it is to mobilize everyone.

Radical books are likely to be labeled as forbidden books with censorship by the Imperial Family, as they were always looking for ways to avoid that impression from the public.

[It may be fate that you were born at this age. Maybe the fate of this world is trying to lean on me.]

“I’m not the only one who dies if I fail.”

[Of course. Don’t forget that her life is also at stake]

That was why Gerald had no choice but to do his best.

[And don’t forget that White Uroboros brought her to this fate] Black Uroboros smiled.

[By the way, what if the Crown Prince in there helped my brother’s work? What if he helped put a curse on her in the form of the illness?]

Gerald’s gaze hardened. He was brainwashed with the words uttered by the Black Uroburos.

“He will have to pay for it.” The snake roared with laughter

[It’s been a while since I’ve had so much fun. Are you going to turn this world upside down for a woman?]

Gerald remained silent. There is no way that the black snake did not know about it. It was as if he already confirmed it with the way he answered.

It was a real wake-up call. Pleasure filled the black snake.

Ernst was distracted by the fluttering scarlet dress.

When Louella made a gesture of tilting her head, he had an immediate illusion of someone that made his heart pound. It was as if Phillia had come back alive. Louella had her familiar scent as well.

[Do you want her?]

The sunset-like eyes of Philia produced a smile in Ernst.

“Your Highness,” Louella spoke softly, “Crown Prince.”

Ernst said in a low voice. “My name is Ernst.. Please call me that.”

Louella opened her eyes wide. Then, she laughed again.

“Ernst.” In a friendly voice, Louella whispered his name.

“Philia…”

Maybe it’s a gift from her for Ernst, who lost Philia and was extremely sad and felt lost.

[If you want her that much, you can take her. Aren’t you the Crown Prince?] White Uroboros whispered.

Ernst’s eyes shook. Ernst knew that Louella had some kind of relationship with Gerald. The photo of the two kissing at the side of the road resonated within the people of the society.

People talked about how good they looked as a pair. A perfect couple. Some speculated that the two would soon skip their engagement and get married in an instant. He knew that there was no room for him to step in.

“Why on earth would you show up here…?”

“I’m just attending the banquet because I found it interesting.” Louella whispered in a playful voice. “Not everyone here will be the Queen. right?”

Ernst smiled with a tearful face.

“I might not become the Queen right?” The beating of his heart was heard in his ears.

“Don’t let your guard down, your Grace. What if I leave you and meet another man?” Ernst’s eyelids quivered.

At first, he couldn’t overcome the pressure of the White Uroboros and the Emperor. And secondly, seeing how her smile drawn has him, who extremely looked like Philia,

And now… “You’re not into me, are you?” Ernst stopped breathing.

“You’re not into me, are you, Your Grace? I shouldn’t have done that already.”

He was completely possessed now. Louella, who looked like Philia.

Still, Ernst was living in his imagination.
