Chapter 304 – 27. Men of Noblesse
+++
“It shouldn’t be this way. We must fight.”
The men got back together.
The divorce rate, which started with Hasori’s divorce, meant that the number of male victims increased rapidly.
Of course, there were also many men who regarded this as liberation. Arranged marriage means, in other words, a marriage that neither side wants emotionally. There was no way he would have welcomed it just because he was a man.
However, there were those who, after living together for at least a few decades or at most a thousand years, had a lot of affection or even completely loved their spouses, so they gathered here like now.
Kyung-sik, who was Hasori’s ex-wife and lived like a half-dead man for several days, stood in front of the men again. Now that the methods we have been preparing for have failed, now is the time to use the last resort.
“It seems that ignorant people are now excited about these acts as liberation and all, but to have another member of the opposite sex in mind while having a spouse is a reprehensible immorality! How dare they enact this into a law and mediate family affairs in courts!”
“You’re right! I can’t stay still like this!”
“Ryu Si-hwan… At least he must be punished!!”
The men shouted as if cheering at Gyeong-sik’s words. A minority of people divorced because of their affair with Si-hwan, and the rest were divorced purely because they disliked arranged marriages, but the atmosphere flowed as if everything was because of Ryu Si-hwan.
“Even though we are married of convenience, we have lived together for at least hundreds of years! But now, does it make sense to ask for a divorce without any affection? No human can do that. If you are in a state where normal thinking is possible, there is no way you would commit such denial!”
Gyeongsik agitated the men even though he already knew deep in his heart.
It’s all because of Ryu Si-hwan.
They argued that this kind of Satan occurred because he seduced women with clear self-reason and sensibility in a special way and urged them to divorce, and that if he punished the women and set them free, everything would return to normal.
Normally, no one would have played with such a stupid move.
However, for those who love their spouse, divorce is the pain of being torn apart. Those who endured such a terrible thing cannot be sane.
“Well, but what kind of method are you going to use… ?”
When the atmosphere calmed down to some extent, a man raised his hand and asked a question.
Now that you’ve decided on a rough goal, the important thing is how to do it. I have to somehow feed Ryu Si-hwan and bring his power and honor him to the bottom.
“As I said before, it is immoral and illegal to have sex with another man even though you have a husband. And vice versa. We have to formally bet on this and fall.”
“It is, but… Isn’t that almost a private law?”
Legal struggle?
It’s easy to say. Even though she has a husband, she had an affair with another man, so it is punishable by law.
However, this is a law that is rarely enforced, and in reality, it is common for not only women but also men to bring in maids or women from lower races.
Besides, they are the ones who have already signed the divorce papers. If there was such a problem between the couple, it should have been mediated before divorce or dealt with in detail during the divorce process, but it was not.
By the end of the story, the big bread of the Ministry of Justice, who is in charge of enacting and enforcing the law, is Yoo Na-na, the wife of Ryu Si-hwan. For her, winning by the law meant that there was virtually no hope.
“Even if it is a private law, it is a law that clearly exists. This means that once we point this out, we can never ignore it. Besides, it is also an expression of our will.”
But he didn’t give up.
It is not possible to withdraw just because the possibility is small. And, as he said, it was also a means to express his will.
“As soon as we file a complaint with the court, we will protest everywhere in the spotlight. It is to enlighten them that the reality of this divorce, which is considered liberation, is in the end an ugly immoral act.”
Since it is an unwanted marriage, sympathy votes may be focused on them. However, if you take a step back and look at it objectively, it does not change that it is an act of immorality. He intended to fraternize that point.
“It will be a long and hard fight. But if he doesn’t give up, he can get his wife back.”
He had already made a firm resolution, recalling the sad image of Ha So-ri.

“Under… I just can’t understand it.”
“….”
Continental Council Supreme Council.
This meeting, which can be said to be the end of the current politics, is attended by only three people, and usually has a meeting about matters of high importance across the continent.
But today’s agenda was a bit different.
“No, you even signed all the fucking autographs and now you’re shivering with this shit? Either hit it sooner or later.”
Sori puffed out a cigarette and vented his anger on the document, none other than the divorced men’s complaint.
If it was just a complaint, I would have just snorted, but they were protesting all over New Seoul and major cities, mentioning a few people.
Since it’s a tackle about a spouse’s affair, of course the targets included Ha So-ri and Yoo Tae-hee, and Ryu Si-hwan couldn’t escape, so it’s quite noisy.
“Actually…There is nothing moral to say…?”
Taehee lowered her head.
She was branded as the scum of the world for devouring her granddaughter’s husband, and her image of her is barely recovering. She could have taken it apart, but she thought it was her own business her.
“Nothing is missing. I have a lot to say. They only think they are righteous.”
Of course, there was nothing like that. What she now feels for her is disgust and anger. And it’s like
She still had a bittersweet feeling about her being her husband her and a little bit of apologetic attitude towards him, but she blew it all away with this incident.
“Tsk tsk tsk. If a crow follows a stork, the crotch will be torn. I don’t know much about fountains.”
Sihwan shook his head.
How dare you do this to his woman Even if the punishment is given, it is not enough.
“How will we do it? There is an easy way to deal with it.”
“Anyway, isn’t that too much? Let’s resolve it as peacefully as possible.”
When Sihwan let go of his rhyme, Taehee reflexively said, Sihwan looked at her.
“Is that it? I haven’t said anything yet.”
“Yes?”
“Taehee, even if you look like this, it’s fucking shady. He must have thought it was a murderer or something.”
“Who…! Who says it’s shady!”
“It’s too much to be a murderer. I didn’t see it that way, so it’s disappointing.”
“Oh, no, not that….”
Tae-hee fluttered, waving her arms.
Ha So-ri receives disappointing glances from Si-hwan, her second child. Of course, it was her prank her, but for her her, who was in the middle of her relationship, even that made her heart pound.
“It’s a joke. Actually, that’s right.”
“That is the easiest.”
“….”
Taehee, her face reddened, sat down quietly.
“But how can you be so cold towards your ex? I’m saying this because I don’t care, but you’re not.”
“What did you say. Who did it? It’s just that it’s the simplest when you look at it objectively.”
“Aha.”
“No matter how much I kill my ex-husband. Of course, I want to lose, but… And if you do that, the headwind hits just right.”
Thinking what, she shook her head.
“It’s a miracle that the old friends are as quiet as they are now. If it was like before, I would have had a seizure if I only brought out the letter ㅇ of divorce.”
“Do you care about that?”
“Don’t write. But it’s annoying when you come and yell at me.”
She lit her new cigarette and tore the paper she was reading in half.
“Whatever… Should I do something strong? Once this complaint is dismissed. And let’s pass an emergency bill to make it illegal to protest now.”
“It’s fucking cool.”
“If you twist it, they will be the president.”
She crumpled up her torn papers and set them on fire with a lighter.
“It seems that Kyungsik has lived with me for a long time and forgot about the fountain. I have to bring it back to life. As everyone.”
“They’re from the same family, but weren’t they relatives or cousins?”
“You sick. That’s the surname you got when you married me. Originally, it was a family without a name. What did he say… ? I don’t even remember.”
“Why did you marry a family with no dick?”
“There was a piece of land my family needed, but that family owned it. You’re holding out not to sell. So he sold me to get the land. Fuck, but if that was the case, would you have had it for a long time? It wasn’t long before they sold it because the price of the land had gone up. In the end, it was sold for pennies.”
Saying that, she recalled her bad memories of her, and she blew out the smoke from her cigarette with a deep sigh.
“Fuck you all of a sudden. Should I just kill them all?”
“… Calm down.”
“Can we do it? Huh? Even if you make a law and kill your ex-husband, there is no problem if it is legal.”
“Does that make sense… And if you do that, you’ll be beaten back?”
“Write… It sucks, really.”
She crushed a cigarette on the table as if she didn’t like it.
“… Anyway, they said it was an arranged marriage, and everyone said it was a fucking reason. You’ll be appreciative of just living with patience until now. If Ji is attached to me, should I accept him unconditionally? Fucking bastards.”
“Okay. Then, do you deliver it to Yuna as you said?”
“Uh. In the meantime, let’s create something like a ban on arranged marriages. To be applied retrospectively. Kick kick. Try blowing it up properly.”
“….”
Sihwan conveyed her childlike sound requirements to Inna as they were.
And after a few days
Even after the complaint was dismissed and the special law was enforced, Gyeong-sik and his group who continued to protest were arrested, and the divorce rate began to increase even more with the enactment of the Law on Prohibition of Arranged Marriage (Retroactive Application ).
