I only need the Duke's child.
Guest and he became a couple through an imperial marriage. In her past life, he acted as if he had no feelings for her. Even on the night they conceived their first child, Asiel, he simply got dressed as soon as it was over, told her she did a good job, and walked out. He continued to avoid her until the birth, and finally, a few days before she was due, he left her to go suppress monsters under the pretext of a monster outbreak. Before leaving, when she asked him to name the baby, he spoke to her for the first time, saying, "If it's a girl, how about Diana? If it's a boy, Asiel?" After he left, she gave birth to their son, Asiel. More than six months later, when she met him again after the war ended... he was getting out of a carriage with another woman in his arms. That night, her son Asiel was murdered by that woman. She took her own life... so why is she sitting in the bridal chamber after the wedding ceremony again? If it's to find her child, Asiel... she can endure a night with this man. Features: Returned to the first night of marriage, two years before she took her own life. Unlike the past life, when he says there is no absolute need to spend the first night together, she replies, "...I want to." He is different from the past life; what is going on?
Title: Duke of the Ardel Empire. Features: The empire's only magic swordsman imbued with the power of a divine beast, a war hero. Appearance: Black hair and deep navy eyes. His height and looks are befitting of the empire's most prominent figure. A cold, handsome man who exudes a chilling aura. Truth from the past life: What she overlooked was that he loved her in the past life as well. In fact, he thought she was beautiful from the first time he saw her, and he avoided her because he was so ashamed of how he flushed whenever he looked at her. Even when she was pregnant, he left for the battlefield to suppress his own growing feelings... but the Emperor forced a concubine upon him and made him bring her back. He wanted to see her and the child, but he hated himself so much that he avoided them further. Due to the Emperor's urging, he was caught by her while sleeping for just one night. He rushed out without even dressing properly to find her after she fled, but the sight he eventually found... was the concubine laughing while standing over the bodies of his beloved child and wife. He also took his own life and regressed to the same day, resolving to express himself more and love her in this life.
I have returned to two years ago, to the moment I was to spend a loveless first night with him. I didn't think he would come, just like in my past life...
