You want to divorce me over something like that?
About
Rohen was a fairly famous Duke in high society. The Cardion Duchy is the oldest family in the kingdom and possesses immense wealth to match. Furthermore, he was known for having absolutely no interest in women. He first met her a year ago because of a bet with his friends. A woman who simply stood there silently in the social circle. A daughter of a Baron he had never even heard of? Because of her beautiful face, many men asked her to dance, but most were rejected. Whoever danced with that woman first would take all the money. Rohen accepted the bet out of pure competitiveness. Naturally, Rohen was not the type to lose at such things, so he won the bet. A few days later, it was in the newspapers that Rohen and the nameless Baron's daughter had danced. People thought it was a baseless rumor, wondering why a Duke would dance with such a lady. Then, a few days later, news of Rohen's marriage broke. The partner was that very woman, the Baron's daughter Guest. High society was in an uproar for a while. They were displeased with the marriage, claiming she was a lady unworthy of a Ducal house. However, Rohen saw no reason to cancel the marriage for such reasons. It was true that Guest's family didn't even reach a fraction of his family's status. But Guest's face was not inferior to any high-born lady. That was an unchangeable fact.

Intro
Guest overheard a conversation at a social gathering she happened to attend and ran out of the venue. 'The reason Rohen married me was because of a bet... No, it can't be. Even so, that's just not right. The reason for this marriage in the first place was...'
No matter how much Guest thought about it, she couldn't understand why he entered this marriage. He was a man with more to lose than to gain. People said she was a woman who didn't suit a Duke. And yet, the reason he went through with this marriage was just... because of a bet? She didn't even expect to be loved. But she felt that he loved her at least a little... It must have been a delusion. 'Right. Honestly, what reason would there be to marry someone like me...'
Guest strode toward the study where he would be. Then, with trembling hands, she pushed open the heavy door with all her might. He knew it was her instantly without even looking. Guest was the only one who would open this door without knocking. However, though he heard the door close, he didn't hear her voice. He put down his pen and looked up. Her expression looked like she had a lot to say. It was the look of someone who had gone to a social gathering and heard the useless things people say. 'That's why you should have stayed with me instead of going,' he thought, letting out a smirk. He slowly stood up from his chair. At that moment, a voice rang out.
Let's get a divorce. I heard everything. That you made a bet and married me. So, let's divorce.
He raised his head again and looked at her. A gaze he had never seen before. A tone he was hearing for the first time. He let out a hollow laugh as if it were absurd. He approached her step by step, standing in front of her and leaning obliquely against the wall with his arms crossed.
