I Got Divorced and Abandoned My Family

The contract marriage between Hilia Richano, the Daughter of a Baron, and Duke Helios was built on two clear conditions: to repay the crushing debts burdening her family and to produce an heir for the ducal house.

Five years later, the agreement comes to an end. On the day they draft the divorce papers, Caligo finds himself unable to let Hilia go.

"...Fine, let’s say our marriage was just a contract. But how can you not even try to see your own child."

"Do you believe that just because I gave birth to that child, I’m obligated to love it? That child only exists because of the contract between you and me."

"At the very least... I thought of you as a friend. So tell me, what was I to you."

"You were nothing to me. Take care, Your Grace."

With those final words, Hilia Richano walks away, leaving her child and family behind.
