Express Contract Marriage

I dreamed that my sister, about to enter a political marriage, died.

To prevent it, Aracella chose to marry Damian — the younger brother of her sister's fiancé.

The problem? She's a mage, he's a knight, and the two are fierce rivals…

"Was the lady I so innocently brought along the one the knights defeated in last year's subjugation?"

"Do you know that if I hadn't helped you, you'd be in a coffin right now?"

Moments before she grabbed him by the collar, the two agreed to a contract marriage.

'I don't believe in romantic feelings.'

The time when we might have seen each other as man and woman has passed, never to return.

……Or so I said.

'Why is this woman so delicate?'

'I keep worrying about him for no reason.'

Why does this man insist on doing everything alone?

"I can help too."

This person keeps getting under my skin.
