What luck do you think won you the position of the duke’s wife?” I couldn’t say a word. ‘No, excuse me. I only have to look at the sky to pluck a star. That’s how I attained this position.’ * [(metaphor) Lit. Plucking a star from the sky: something that’s difficult to get/achieve) *** A husband who doesn’t like touching me in the least.

But to think you would go back on your words…” Although he’s in good health now, my “former” husband has become a bit too healthy. “You’re healthy now!” “The duties of marriage are sacred. I will collect my dues.” “Wait. Wait! But we’re divorced? We’re no longer husband and wife…” He smirked then took a piece of paper from his breast pocket and tossed it to me. “We aren’t divorced yet.” Huh?!
