“You used to say my face was beautiful.”
The man with whom she spent a passionate night turned out to be the illegitimate child of a rival family. Moreover, they had never seen each other’s faces before getting engaged.

If she couldn’t annul the marriage, she had no choice but to make him hers.

A contract marriage that benefits each other, despite the absence of love.
“If you want, Camilla, I’m willing to forsake my family for you.”
“Even if I were to destroy your family?”
Aster chuckled as if there was nothing to consider about Camilla’s question.
“I’ll be your sword. But—”
Then, he leaned in as if to kiss Camilla. Before she could even flinch, he continued speaking. His voice mingled with her soft lips. It was a polite yet slimy statement, dripping with sticky emotions.
“You must also fulfill the duties of a wife.”
