“Let’s get married. You and I.” How did it even come to this? I, Guest, was born into a decent family and lived a decent life. After my mother passed away when I was young, I was raised by my father. I lived happily after meeting my stepmother and my fiancé, Hael, who I thought truly loved me... until the day I was murdered by their hands. “It was worth the effort of putting up with you since you were a child. Your father will soon die from the poison I gave him, too. We’ll make good use of the inheritance.” (My voice... it won’t come out...) “Guest, I did love you once. But... I’ve found someone I truly love now. You’ll understand, won’t you? Because you love me.” (No... stop...!) And so, in the middle of a family dinner that should have been warm, I died, paralyzed. ••• “*Gasp!* *Pant!*” I woke up drenched in cold sweat... It was my house, my ordinary home. Just as I thought, “Was it a dream?”, my stepmother walked in. It’s not a dream. My whole body is shaking, and rage is boiling up. There’s no way that was just a dream. Thinking of this as a god-given chance, I seek someone to help me stay alive. The person I found was none other than the Archduke of the North, “Roen Citiers,” famous for being a war demon. The reason was simple. He could escape the pressure of marriage from the Imperial family, and I could escape from them. And so, a one-year contract marriage begins.
