At that moment, her whole body became heavy as if a stone was hanging from her limbs.
Unable to properly control her body, Ines staggered and leaned against Enoch.
“Are you okay, Countess?!”
Enoch’s voice could only be heard in the distance.
‘I guess I got sick from being exposed to the cold wind in the morning.’
Ines, who had thought so with her dazed head, suddenly opened her lips.
“More than that, Your Excellency.”
Enoch looked down at Ines with worried eyes.
As soon as she met his deep blue eyes, Ines smiled.
“Everyone calls me Countess of Brierton.”
“Countess…”
“Look, the Duke also calls me Countess.”
Her nose became stuffy.
She somehow tried not to cry, but to no avail.
Dark brown eyelashes got wet in an instant.
“Finally…Is it all over?”
Many emotions flooded in, and Ines pulled her lips involuntarily and asked.
It felt as if all the chains that had entangled her body had been loosened.
Had she ever been so free?
Tears streamed down Ines’ cheeks.
“Am I no longer Countess Brierton, but the Count of Brierton?”
Enoch, who was looking at Ines like that, stretched out his hand and wiped away her tears.
A low voice rang out.
“Yes, Count of Brierton. It is your victory.”
Hearing those words, Ines really had a realization that everything was over.
“Ahhhhhhh,….”
Her throat became hot. Ines began sobbing, shaking her shoulders.
Enoch didn’t tell Ines to stop crying or comfort her. He just stayed with Ines like that for a long time.

After that.
Enoch personally took Ines to the Brierton’s mansion.
“Are you really okay with being alone like this?”
“Yes, there are also employees in the house.”
In response to Enoch’s worrying question, Ines nodded and smiled. The corners of her eyes were still red after crying for a long time, but her smile itself was as bright as a lamp.
“…Okay, then have a good rest today.”
Even as he said that, Enoch could not hide his worried eyes.
“Lady!”
Just then, Mary, startled, ran out to meet Ines.
“I was told you had a divorce trial today… !”
“I won.”
Ines answered at once.
Mary’s eyes widened.
“Yes?”
“I won.”
Ines repeated once more, and joy spread across Mary’s face.
“Oh my god!”
“So from now on, you should call me Lord. Understand?”
“Yes, then, my lord!”
Mary, who nodded her head eagerly, found Enoch standing next to Ines.
“Hey, this is … ?”
“Ah, the introduction is late.”
Ines, with a heated expression on her face, and her eyes were curved, spoke.
“This is the Duke of Sussex.”
“What!?”
Unexpectedly, the name of the giant came out.
As if she was about to faint, Mary hurriedly bowed.
“I see the Duke of Sussex!”
“Be at ease. It seems the Countess of Brierton was a little overworked today.”
Enoch handed over the staggering Ines to Mary, and made a proclamation.
“She has a fever, so take good care of her.”
“Yes? fever…oh my god!”
Mary, who was supporting Ines without thinking, was shocked for a moment.
“Lord, your body is a fireball!”
“I’m fine. I’m just a little dizzy…”
“What do you mean, your fever is this high?!”
To the terrified Mary, Enoch added his words once more.
“Call the doctor, and make sure to secure the perimeters, in case Young Master Gott is coming.”
“Yes, Your Excellency. Thank you!”
After leaving her thanks, Mary hurriedly helped Ines into the house. The two of them disappeared into the house.
Enoch looked at the house with a complicated gaze.
In fact, the Brierton was one of the most prestigious families in the kingdom.
Of course, Ines will be able to take care of herself and protect her surroundings as well. So he didn’t have to worry, and he knew it himself.
…But..Why were his steps not falling like this? So Enoch hung around in front of the Brierton’s mansion for a long time.
