Lucien, puzzled, took it over, but his face changed drastically after briefly glancing at it, questioning,

“What does this imply?”

Count Schultz calmly turned around, took a sip of the coffee from the table, and said indifferently, “Just as the paper implies, I want a divorce.”

Lucien tightly clutched the divorce papers in his hand, a cruel light flashing in his eyes, his tone freezing cold:

“Why?”

Avoiding Lucien’s seemingly cannibalistic gaze, Count Schultz replied lightly, “Because I can no longer tolerate your continued mistakes, the glory of the Schultz Family shouldn’t be tarnished by you!”

Lucien gave a cold laugh, mocking, “Is this all my fault? It was clearly a decision we both made in the beginning. Now you want to back out, aren’t you being too absurd!”

But Count Schultz slowly shook her head: “No, Lucien, in the beginning, you forced me into this decision. You were deceived by others, you tolerated Archbishop John’s abduction and murder. It was you who broke Viscount Angler’s limbs and attempted to imprison him in the basement.

Each of these sins should be borne by you!”

Lucien burst into laughter, as though he’d heard a great joke. After a while, he slowly approached Count Schultz, one step at a time, murmuring,

“You want to pin all these crimes on me? Hehe, do you really believe I will let you frame me?”

Having said this, Lucien had already approached Count Schultz, grabbing her chin, staring into her eyes, he asked, “What happened while I was gone these few days? Speak!”

Count Schultz fearlessly met the gaze of Lucien, who was on the brink of exploding, her tone still indifferent, “Lucien, for the sake of our past relationship as husband and wife, I’m leaving you a way out,

Sign the divorce papers and flee immediately.”

“Flee?” Lucien sneered again, “If I were to just leave as such, wouldn’t I be confirming the crimes you accused me of? By then, wouldn’t I become the true culprit behind Archbishop John’s murder and Viscount Angler’s imprisonment?”

Seeing that her plot was exposed, a flash of panic crossed Count Schultz’s eyes. However, she quickly regained composure, stating confidently,

“What can you do? Kill me? That will only drag you into an irreversible abyss!”

Gradually strengthening his grip on Count Schultz’s chin, the sound of cracking echoed. The killing intent in Lucien’s eyes was undisguised as he threatened,

“You want to ruin me? Do you really think I’ll surrender without a fight?”

Although her face showed signs of pain, Count Schultz still held the same resolute gaze. Laughing coldly, she stated, “Lucien, even if you’re a sixth-rank warrior, you’re just a commoner. Who would believe your defense?

As an Empire countess, with Viscount Angler and the Northern Archbishop as witnesses, who do you think these crimes will be pinned on?

Hence, your only way out now is to get out of Swan City and never return to the North Territory!”

Lucien found it hard to believe that the woman he had been living with for over twenty years could so easily betray him.

His gaze grew more volatile, his breathing heavier, his grip tighter, as though he was on the verge of crushing Count Schultz’s skull to pieces.

However, despite facing such a palpable threat of death, Count Schultz showed no signs of backing off. Her gaze, fixed on her husband, was as if she was looking at a corpse.

After an intense standoff, Lucien eventually backed down.

He simply stated, “Tell me, what exactly happened?”

Count Schultz’s eyes were clouded as she devoutly said, “I saw the Lord of Glory and was moved by Him. Thus, I made the firm decision to entirely dissociate myself from past sins.”

“Bullshit!” Lucien retorted, finding it hard to believe such a tale, “You have to understand that I am your biggest backing!

Anger me, and you can only be toyed with by Colin. Regardless of what promises he made to you, what can assure you that he won’t break his word?

Consider the Uman Clan and the Dawson Family. That’s right, although these two clans seem to have avoided punishment, with both their nobility and territories intact, what about Count Uman and Marquis Dawson?

Don’t you know what happened to them?

Don’t let Colin fool you. He’s not the benevolent savior he seems to be on the surface, instead, he’s an ambitious, ruthless man!”

However, these words didn’t bring enlightenment to Count Schultz. She still looked at her husband coldly, retorting lightly,

“Sign the divorce papers, I’ll let you go. You can take Solon with you.”

Upon hearing his son’s name, Lucien’s anger once again surged uncontrollably. He growled, “Where’s Colin? Doesn’t he dare to see me?”

“Who said I wouldn’t dare see you.”

The moment his words fell, Colin entered the room, pushed in his wheelchair by Archbishop Agani.

Lucien’s eyes instantly turned blood-red at the sight of his nemesis.

Facing the man who resembled a ravenous tiger ready to pounce, Colin seemed to feel no threat at all. In fact, he poured oil on the fire by saying:

“Sir Lucien, I advise you to just surrender, it’s futile to resist.”

Lucien released Count Schultz, turned to Colin, showed a bloodthirsty grin, and said, “Do you really think I wouldn’t dare kill you?”

“Well, what are you waiting for?” Colin remained nonchalantly, “I warned you back in the basement, you should have killed me, or else, I will make you wish you were dead!”

After hearing what Colin said, Archbishop Agani furrowed her brows, worrying that Lucien might lose his senses, and quickly tried to mediate:

“Sir Lucien, violence can’t solve anything. If you kill Viscount Angler, you’ll only make yourself a public enemy in the North Territory, an enemy of the nobility. Even if you manage to escape by force now, you’ll have to skulk in the shadows for the rest of your life.

Your best choice right now is to surrender, admit your sins, and our Lord is merciful, He is willing to give everyone who sincerely confesses their sins a chance for atonement.”

Lucien’s mouth burst into a sneer of mockery. He was about to speak again when suddenly his face changed.

Because he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Apparently, a large number of Schultz family guards were converging here!

Seeing this, Colin again took the opportunity to provoke. “Lucien, give up your resistance. You’re just a Level-6 warrior. Just because you married a countess, you think you own Swan City?

Look now, you’re the enemy of this city!

You think you’re so great with your exceptional martial skills, right?

Why don’t you kill everyone here then….”

“Killing you alone will be enough!” Lucien growled, transformed into a bolt of lightning, and dashed to Colin in a blink of an eye.

One hand gripping Colin’s collar, he lifted him out of the wheelchair, preparing to utter some mockery, but he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

A silver light flashed in Colin’s hand, like a viper lunging at Lucien’s heart!

Unfortunately, Lucien, aware of the danger at the last moment, forcefully twisted his body and dodged the fatal attack.

Shick!

The dagger plunged in flush with the hilt.

But it didn’t strike the heart.

Lucien looked at Colin in terror. He never expected that Colin, whose limbs were crushed by him just three days ago, would recover so quickly!

Even the healing magic of the Archbishop of the North Territory couldn’t have produced such an effect.

“Fell for it, didn’t you?” Colin broke into a smug grin.

Lucien’s eyes flashed with anger, he roared, and swung a punch with his right hand!

Bang!

Colin was thrown back like a ragdoll, blood spewed uncontrollably from his mouth.

At that moment, the guards rushed in, the swords in their hands pointed directly at once the master of this castle, Lucien.

Seeing this, Lucien didn’t have enough time to check whether Colin was still alive or not. He immediately ran to the window and leaped out from it.

“Quick! Don’t let him escape!” Count Schultz shouted loudly.

“He won’t.” Colin staggering to his feet.

His chest was deeply dented, but such a terrifying injury seemed to barely affect him. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then he also jumped out the window.

The guards followed and poured out of the room.

Agani didn’t follow, instead she was observing Count Schultz with a curious gaze and then said after a long while,

“Countess, your performance today was truly astonishing!”

Count Schultz smiled faintly and said, “What, Archbishop, do you think I didn’t have the courage to face Lucien?”

“No, I just think, not all women are like you, capable of resolutely severing ties with their husband for the sake of justice.”

“Under the guidance of our Lord, I fear nothing!”

Looking at Countess Schultz, who wore an expression of devout conviction, Agani couldn’t help but wonder — What kind of promise did Colin give Count Schultz to make her betray Lucien?

Even when facing death threats, this Countess was determined to sever her ties with Lucien?

What secret was she hiding?
