Chapter 26 Handsome Rosalie
Rosalie stood tall, her poise sharp and striking.
She looked at Micah and said firmly, “Micah, stay home and rest today.”
Micah tried to argue, but Rosalie’s tone left no room for debate. He gave up.
That day, Leon and Cameron joined her.

Cameron was restless on the road. He dashed ahead, then ran back, clinging to Rosalie’s arm and begging for candied fruit.
Rosalie smiled every time and agreed with ease.
Leon remained silent, his cold eyes fixed on their laughter.
Rosalie’s pig stew had built a name for itself. This time, it sold out in half an hour.
Cameron tugged on her arm, begging for candied fruit ebabs. Rosalie looked at Leon and said in a calm but firm voice, “We’re going to the courthouse first.”
Leon’s heart slammed in his chest. A chill of dread spread through him like ice water.
By the time they reached the courthouse, the feeling split his chest open.
Rosalie lifted her chin and smiled at him, her voice soft and bright. “Leon, I’ve saved ten ounces of silver. It’s enough to get you your letter of release.
“You should be happy.”
Her lashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly. Her eyes sparkled with a light that seemed too pure.
Her face tilted up toward him, stubborn and steady. She stared, waiting for him to answer.
“I…”
Leon’s throat locked tight. No sound came out.
Rosalie turned away and walked straight to the counter.
A woman sat there, bored and unmoved. She didn’t eve lift her head. “Divorce costs one ounce of silver. Pay first, then sign.”
Rosalie shook her head. Her tone was sharp and clear. “ot divorce, Letter of release.”
The woman finally looked up, startled. “Girl, that costs an ounces. There’s no need to waste that much money.”
Rosalie shook her head again. She took out eight ounce of silver and poured a handful of copper coins
onto the desk.
“Do the letter of release.”
The clerk looked at her like she was insane, but she still began the process.

Chapter 26 Handsome Rosalie
“Where’s the beastman?”
Rosalie turned around and pulled Leon forward. He stil stood there like a statue. The white fox was nowhere to be seen.
She gripped Leon’s wrist and dragged him to the desk.le’s here. It’s just us. Please start.”
Finished
The woman handed Rosalie a turtle shell etched with the letter of release. All they had to do was carve their
names.
Rosalie held the carving tool and pressed down hard. The scrape of metal against shell echoed in the room. Feels like a divorce for some reason.
She handed the knife to Leon. His fingers trembled as he took it.
The tip hovered over the shell. He didn’t move.
Then came a sharp crack.
The knife broke in his grip. The blade snapped, slicing across his cheek. A streak of blood rolled down his face, slid along his jaw, and disappeared beneath his collar.
