You Can Keep The Male Lead

be if Rupert fell in love with Chloe and just divorced me.

“Huu, that’s the way it was originally.”

Except for Erin’s death, why wouldn’t Rupert think of abandoning me and getting married?

Anyway, I put the quill on the table and stashed the still empty divorce agreement in the drawer by the bed.

Then I went to the wooden cabinet in the corner of the room, opened the door, and bowed.

When I put my magic stone on the lock, the door of the safe opened with a click—what a convenient system.

Inside the safe was the eight-billion note from Billy Gordon.

I took the envelope in my hand and hid it deep inside my chest.
The envelope was also sealed as before.

Unless an assailant kidnapped and searched me, they wouldn’t know what’s in the chest of a noblewoman.

Anyway, I had to convert this to cash now.

I wore my coat over my dress.
I was terrified because I had a large amount on me, so I tried to go there by myself quickly.

Fortunately, there was a bank right across the road in front of the Imperial Palace, and it was within easy walking distance.

Lia saw me leaving the door and followed quickly.
“Madam, where are you going?”

“Ah, Lia.
Just going out for a moment.”

For some reason, I couldn’t be honest with her.

“Wait, where? Madam, please take at least one knight with you.
I’ll make a request to the Imperial Palace…”

“No, it takes time to put a request in.
I’m not on official duty, I’m going somewhere really close.”

“Nevertheless, Madam.”

When I still refused, Lia paused for a while and said she would accompany me.
In the end, I had no choice but to take her with me.

We passed through the gates of the outer palace and stepped out of the castle gates surrounded by high fences.
It was still early in the morning, so the streets were quiet.

I was about to go straight to the bank right across the street, but Lia suddenly pulled me from behind.

And a carriage passed in front of me.
If Lia didn’t pull me back, I would have been hit by it.

“Madam! Please look before you cross.”

“Ah, right.
Thank you.”

I wanted to hurry, so I guess I rushed on without realizing it.
I slowly looked left and right before crossing the wide road.
Lia followed.

“Ah… Mph!”

When I was almost on the other side of the road, I heard a short scream.
I looked back in surprise, but my vision was suddenly blocked, and I soon felt a great deal of drowsiness.
I was knocked out then.

Eventually, I regained consciousness.

My vision was still dark, and I felt vibrations throughout my body.
Perhaps I was inside a moving carriage.

My hands and feet were tied, and my eyes blindfolded.

“…mph.” I tried to make a sound, but my mouth was also gagged with a cloth.

I was in this situation, but I was more concerned about the envelope I had hidden in my chest.
My eight billion, would it be stolen? I didn’t expect my dream to come true.
