The Imperial Princess, Life as a Divorce Lawyer

After two months of not writing, I came back and reread my story. Noticing that I pigeon hold myself into a dead end in some chapters. I unintentionally burned down bridges that make it hard for both myself and Bethel to move forward. So I'm going to work on redoing the chapters into a different writing style with them being 1k each. Because I want people to actually read it and enjoy it. Not just leave a comment to 'offer in making it better' without reading it. For now it currently a short pause. ◇◇◇ In a kingdom where matrimony beliefs stood at the pinnacle of everyday life. Bethel Green dares to open "The Cleaved Knot Legal Services," offering escape from brutal and broken marriages. But her radical mission stirs dangerous opposition, threatening her precarious new life. Bethel is no ordinary divorce lawyer; she's Princess Ophelia, the youngest imperial child from the powerful, distant Emeraldleaf Empire. Born into an ancient lineage founded by a magical clover that transformed a wasteland, Ophelia fled a nine-year marriage that brought her to the brink. Now, she fights for others' freedom, offering a chance where neither societal stigma nor the church would. Her desire is to change traditional laws, to reveal the harsh reality of marriage, and to spread this hope like wildfire across vast seas. One little problem... the type of cases Bethel will take on will more be than she could handle. A client request, no matter what status they uphold, will be a head twisting difficulty. As threats mount and her meager funds dwindle, Bethel must take a desperate gamble: hire Rupert, a disgraced former Sword Master and Knights Captain. Stripped of his hard-earned wealth and status after his sword aura was contaminated and his unit perished battling a shadow beast, Rupert—a survivor from a childhood of poverty and loss—is exactly the kind of desperate, skilled individual who might accept such an offer. He's a man willing to risk everything for a pittance and a roof over his head. After falling from two different heights in the world. Can this former princess and disgraced mercenary cleave the bonds of injustice without unraveling themselves in the process? ______________ Client 1: Please help me divorce from my dead husband! He been haunting our home for months! Bethel: Apologies, but I'm a divorce lawyer for the living... not a exorcist. Client 2: My wife has been writing letters to a nobleman, help me find out who he is. So I can challenge him to a duel! Bethel: If you have no interest in dissolving your marriage, please leave my office. Client 3: I need to stop my father remarriage! That woman is a snake! Bethel: ...Should I just start upping my fee for these ridiculous case... ______________
