Chapter 7 A shocking notice was posted all across the Empire. Not only in city squares, but on bulletin boards along every street where large numbers of people were likely to pass, notices appeared one after another, drawing crowds. And the contents were even more shocking. [Recruitment is now open for the husband of Countess Riat Pshikia. Eligibility: Someone who knows how to love. Requirements: Unmarried applicants preferred; applicants aged 32 or younger given…- 610.1 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 6 Riat, who had suddenly found herself in the position of having been scammed by a god, calmly ate dinner. The fact that she was alive and breathing, sitting here and eating, was itself proof that she had received the god’s help. But she found the aide’s gaze, which regarded her as though she were an idiot, rather amusing, so she deliberately refrained from explaining the whole story. For now, Riat had lost both the means to repay the god and the means to fulfill the bargain the god had…

- Chapter 5 “Fortunately,” Riat did not die that day. To be honest, when she had said those words, she had been half-prepared to die all over again. But the Emperor merely let out an exasperated sigh, as though he found her words utterly absurd, and released her wrist. He did not immediately throw her into prison. However, perhaps he had felt somewhat humiliated by her words about preferring a “younger partner,” because his eyes had widened. Yet rather than being angry at Riat’s…

- Chapter 4 Five days. At long last, five days had passed. In other words, Riat had finally made it past the “one month” mark where she had always met her death, and was now facing a brand-new day. Riat’s eyes flew open first thing in the morning. The moment she saw the lavish canopy above her, she immediately raised her hands to check whether her body was still intact—and even slapped herself hard across the cheek. Even as the sting of pain spread across her skin, Riat laughed like a woman…

- Chapter 3 I’m Looking for a New Husband A week later, on the final day of the celebration, the Imperial Palace decided to host the succession ceremony for Count Pshikia. Although it was technically a ceremony to inherit the position of family head, it was practically equivalent to the Emperor personally granting the countship, which was why it was to be held at the Imperial Palace itself. The favor being shown to Riat for punishing a traitor carried enormous significance. But Riat, in truth,…

- Chapter 2 I’m Looking for a New Husband The Emperor, having greatly praised Riat for her service in punishing a traitor, held a celebration in her honor. The head of the man who had once been a count was displayed in the square as a clear warning to the nobles. The celebration was to last for an entire week, and every noble in the Empire was summoned to attend. Even nobles from the provinces were scrambling to make their way to the capital. Eyal X, the Emperor of the Irmak Empire, had recently…

- Chapter 1 I’m Looking for a New Husband Her husband died. Riat Pshikia was the youngest daughter of the insignificant Viscount Pshikia family. Her mother died of an epidemic three years after giving birth to her, and although she had two older brothers, Riat did not consider them family. The Viscount believed that his sons would establish the family’s future, but unfortunately, they had no talent. The only thing that truly shone in the family was Riat’s beauty. Foolishly believing that his…

- Chapter 2 “Come on. We need to go to my house first.” Violet looked at the hand the man abruptly held out toward her. Violet had no desire to put on airs and act like some haughty noble lady in this situation. Still, perhaps because she had retained some pride as a noble's daughter, there was something about his manner of speaking that rubbed her the wrong way. He's speaking informally? In Illore, even serfs of a fief were expected to use polite speech between husband and wife. She…

- Chapter 1 Prologue “Violet, you’re getting married. This month.” She was twenty years old, and her father had found her a husband. “He’s a junior knight who’s about to be sent to war against Aslan. Apparently, he hasn’t been allowed to depart because he hasn’t married yet.” Of all the marriage prospects he could have found, he had somehow managed to find one that was utterly wretched. “I’ve agreed to a generous dowry.” That, in the end, was the real point. In…

Chapter 5 The fact that Mother disappeared from time to time meant that I had to be left on my own. That was why Mother used every bit of knowledge she possessed to arm me with everything I needed to survive. “Lucy, the moment the crown prince ascends the throne, you need to run. You could even infiltrate a group of pirates. They’re always looking for good cooks.” “Lucy, there will be a typhoon in the South Sea when you turn ten, and the price of sugar will skyrocket when you turn eleven.…- 376.6 K • Ongoing
