A marriage between the Marshals, the Dukes of Ballazit and the Marquis of Winterfell.

Will the two families be able to reconcile with this historic marriage?

Most of the people said yes.

Now that we have become relatives, we will put aside our old feelings of evil.

But if they had been able to see the scene of this reception, they would immediately realize that my thinking was firmly erroneous.

A party venue to celebrate the birth of the newlyweds. The place that was supposed to be friendly was filled with only a cold chill.

And the cause of the chill was neither the outside air nor the ice, but a single human being.

"... ... New room?"

The groom, who had had a troubled expression throughout the reception, raised his eyebrows.

Even though he only spit out two letters, his voice was full of anger. 

He asked the butler in an astonishing tone.

"Did you just say it was a new room? Do you want to join us?"

"Yes, now that you have a wedding, you are a true couple... ... ."

"Are you telling me to share a bed with a woman who might have come to assassinate me?"

"Ah, an assassination!"

The bride shrugged her shoulders at the unexpected words and raised her voice.

A well-dressed face quickly turns into tears. The pale complexion could not be covered with makeup.

But in the eyes of Glenn, the groom who didn't trust her at all, it was just an abominable performance.

He burst into laughter as if it was ridiculous, and continued.

"Then, Nadia Balajit, I have a question for you. Why did you decide to marry me? spy? Or trying to forge a treason mock document? Are you planning to bring treason against our family?"

"that... ... ."

"Speak right. There is no one here to protect you."

The voice that spoke like that was really full of life.

The frightened bride's body begins to tremble.

She rolled her eyes for a long while and then finally opened her mouth.

"Because I have admired the Marquis for a long time... ... ."

"gibberish!"

fast. This grinding sound came out.

"Are you telling me to believe such a lie?"

"I really am! Please believe me. The first time I saw you, I fell in love at first sight."

The priest, Nadia, answered with her eyes down sadly.

My trembling eyelids look like they are about to burst into tears at any moment.

It was such a realistic performance that if it weren't for the enemy's daughter, the woman would be deceived. Maybe it could be that heinous too.

'It must have been my father did.'

Including the nonsense that you love yourself.

Glenn wasn't foolish enough to believe that the enemy's daughter, coincidentally, fell in love with him at first sight.

All of this is nothing more than Duke Balajit's attempt to plant a spy in the territory of the stillness.

It was evident from the fact that the king, the puppet of the duke, actively promoted this marriage.

"Have you spoken to me before? Do you believe in the saying that I fell in love with a man who never said a word and followed him all the way to the North?"

"Do you need a reason to fall in love?"

"It's crazy... ... ."

"I love you, Marquis! Please accept my heart!"

"... ... ."

He gritted his teeth as he stared at Nadia, who still pretended to be pitiful and was shaking her shoulders.

I am very suspicious of my intention to walk into Winterfell Street, but I cannot harshly interrogate the Duke's daughter, the priest.

I can't harm her right now.

The clenched fist was trembling slightly. Glenn had to be patient again and again to avoid acting impulsively.

'After all, in an enemy where there are no allies, there are very few things that a weak woman can do.'

In particular, if a wife does not receive the approval of her husband, the scope of action is even more limited.

So, if you think about it rationally, you don't need to throw her out right away.

It was not too late to get rid of the unwanted wife even after dealing with the stillness.

Avoid the suspicion that the North is seeking independence, and until the day when it develops its own power.

He said clenching his teeth.

"great. Let's see how long I can lie that I love you."

"... ... !"

Nadia's expression brightened when she said that she would accept my existence immediately. But for a while... ... .

"But it would be better not to even dream of being recognized as my wife. I will never see an heir from the daughter of Balajit."

"I, I am not a spy! How could you doubt my sincerity....?"

At Glenn's subsequent warning, she immediately cried.

Ugh, Nadia buried her face in her palms and covered her mouth as if in despair.

It was because I almost thought I was thinking the same thing.

'Take care of those words, you marquise.'

It was a car he was worried about again that it was his wife's duty and that he would ask for bed.

But if you come out like that, you have no choice but to welcome it with open arms.

Tock, tock.

With the sound of shoes hitting the marble floor, life as if piercing the skin fades away.

Even the sound of users rushing after Glenn could be heard in my ears.

It seems he has left the place.

Nadia asked with her head bowed, pretending to be heartbroken.

"For the Marquis... ... Did you go?"

"That, that... ... ."

The maids are restless and start looking at each other.

One of the maids, pushed back in the silent battle, answered with a cautious voice.

"Yes... ... I think so."

Hurray! The voice in her heart was cheering.

I can't stop talking because I've declared that I won't sleep with myself in a place where there are a lot of people looking like this.

Isn't it the virtue of men of this age to not say two words with one mouth?

never come I'm going to use a large bed by myself.

* * *

The story of Nadia Balajit's sudden marriage to a hostile family was very long.

How long is it, to the extent that she has to go back and explain her first life.

Born as a daughter of a duke, Nadia's life seemed to be off to a smooth start.

Although it was a child who was not an enemy, it was not a big problem.

Because Nadia never crossed the line set by me, and the Duchess wanted to play the role of a lover who even embraced her husband's illegitimate child.

Even though my half-brother of the same age quarreled over and over again, it was within the bounds of patience.

It was well worth it, considering it traded a bit of annoyance for a comfortable life.

And, like most maidens of other families, she was used as a long term word for arranged marriages after she became an adult.

To a place where it's too much to give a daughter a bad boy, but a waste to not get married.

The day before the engagement ceremony, the voice that my half-brother had visited and scolded me is still vivid.

'What would you do if you were a hero from another world? I do not know the origin or origin! What do you know I must have been a genius in my hometown? If it were me, I wouldn't be able to live with a man like that.'

Yes, you must have made fun of me for saying that... ... .

Nadia said, holding back a laugh.

"Have you come to feel sorry for the man now? When did you say that you're a lowly and hateful man?"

"Watch your mouth. You must be the mean girl."

In the place where Nadia's gaze was directed, a blonde woman in fine fur was standing tall with the hem of a gorgeous dress draped.

The look on his face was filled with a sense of victory and superiority.

It was Karen, the only enemy of the Balajit family and half-brother.

She giggled with a happy face.

"You're talking about messing around with other men over your fiancée."

"Your head is dirtier for coming up with the idea of ​​framing me like that."

"Oh! How many eyewitnesses are there, yet they are still missing?"

It happened at the masquerade.

Due to the nature of the Masquerade, the atmosphere was more free than other banquets, and there were many people who suggested alcohol to Nadia.

It is absurd to attend such an event without knowing how much I drink.

The number of cups he drank that day obviously did not even reach half the amount of alcohol.

Nevertheless, he lost consciousness at some point, and when he barely came to his senses, everything had already happened.

When she woke up to the sound of people murmuring, Nadia, half naked, was lying on the sofa in the common room with a stranger.

Worst of all, there were countless people who witnessed the scene.

Rumors spread in an instant that she had slept with an affair with an engaged body.

Even Chollima couldn't be faster than that.

'The woman's mother also seduced the Duke and changed her life.'

'I can't live without a man. Oh yeah... ... Her mother said that she was the daughter, and she said, 'Tttttttttttttttttt'.

'By the way, what did Duke Ballazit say? Since the Seochul girl has tarnished the family's honor, there would be nothing to say if she kicked him out naked.'

'I was generously ordered to be in prison in the annex.'

'Oh, be merciful too.'

Nadia was not stupid enough to think that her father loved her and would not have let her go.

As a person who values ​​face, he probably just didn't want to be called a heartless father.

As you can see from the fact that they were locked up in the basement rather than the bedroom of the annex.

It's so frustrating and absurd that I burst into laughter.

I would do this to the point of betraying the honor I cherished so much.

"I asked who the hell came up with this ridiculous screenplay... ... After all, it was you and your father, Karen."

"Me and my father?"
