Summary
Aelpfrida, living under her family’s neglect and abuse, one day helps someone in trouble and meets a man named Kyle. Unaware of his true identity as ‘Calron Ash,’ the richest man on the continent, she is increasingly drawn to him, who recognizes and cares for her abilities. Then, one day, Aelpfrida discovers her father has arranged to sell her off cheaply as a bride. She intended to give up her feelings and marry, but to escape the brutality of the man who came to buy her, she flees to Calron. Eventually, he reveals his identity to everyone to protect her… The two, having confirmed their feelings for each other, thought only happy days lay ahead. They should have. “One child. That’s all I want from you.” Aelpfrida shivered at his emotionless voice. “Until you give me that, you must come to me every week as my wife. That’s the entirety of our deal.” The man who once whispered hot love now spoke coldly of a transaction.
