Chapter 22 Contract Marriage for Atilenta’s Revenge The insurance I had was woefully insufficient compared to what Henryk possessed. The ring imbued with the Black Dragon's magic was not enough. That was, after all, a magic I neither knew nor had ever experienced. Then, relying on someone other than Henryk? That too seemed like a foolish thought. I knew the truth. Only I myself could protect me. Even my approach to Henryk, whom I barely knew, had been the result of the magic I…- 1.2 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 21 Contract Marriage for Atilenta’s Revenge The fact that I was not ordinary—I had known that ever since I followed Antony to the battlefield. No, from the very beginning, I was never an ordinary princess. For better or for worse. I understood that I appeared that way to Henryk as well, so I offered no further comment. "I've rarely seen someone who has been on a battlefield and can also lead a banquet." Generally, in Francia, banquets held under a family's name were hosted by…

- Chapter 20 Contract Marriage for Atilenta’s Revenge I looked around at the envoys, including Herson, who maintained his polite expression, and slowly opened my mouth. Behind me, Henryk's low voice followed. "I understand you, but that is an excessive worry. My consort has already adapted well to the culture here. It would be truly wonderful if you could convey that positive news upon your return to your homeland." Henryk spoke as if he were someone unconcerned with how he was rumored…

- Chapter 19 Contract Marriage for Atilenta’s Revenge In the Kingdom of Francia, there was no such custom as a wife sitting side by side with her husband. Even between a married couple, it was usual for the man to take the seat of honor. Henryk, having enjoyed Frankish banquets, would surely know this fact as well. Even if he hadn't known, it didn't matter. He was faithfully carrying out our arrangement. Come to think of it, Henryk had done the same for me at the first banquet I experienced upon…

- Chapter 09 Contract Marriage for Atilenta's Revenge But that doesn't necessarily mean I am exactly Your Highness's type, does it? That was how I had read it—I was just about to respond when— Henryk, who was sitting right next to me, grabbed my wrist and naturally pulled me closer by my back. "Your, Your Highness." Without hesitation, he pressed his lips to my nape. "Ah……." The quiet room began to fill with strange breathing sounds and rising heat. This was exactly what I…

- Chapter 10 Contract Marriage for Atilenta's Revenge In order to handle that rite of passage, I needed a great deal of information. I had no intention of wasting mealtimes here either. Through these times, I planned to gather various information from Henryk and the head chef here for hosting an appropriate banquet. "Yes, leave it to me, Your Highness." "The matter of the delegation is indeed your responsibility." I glanced down at my plate. Even the cucumber salad on this plate right now…

- Chapter 08 Contract Marriage for Atilenta's Revenge First, I needed traces that we had spent the night together. Until now, I had been taught that a lady should maintain a clean, noble body and mind. Though I didn't know for certain, the atmosphere in the Bwendowska Kingdom likely felt similar. However, I was in a position where I was abandoned by the Duke and immediately followed a foreign prince. Thus, there was no need to discuss a lady's virtue. I knew he didn't consider me his type, but that…

- Chapter 07 Contract Marriage for Atilenta's Revenge “The Prince of Bwendowska is asking for you. Conduct yourself with dignity as a princess of the Kingdom of Francia. For the peace of our two nations.” The next evening, a brief message sent by the King arrived via a servant. In that moment, I let out a loud exclamation of relief. “Ah, finally!” The opportunity has come, Atilenta. The stepping stone for my future is set. As I smiled broadly, the servant who delivered the letter stared at…

- Chapter 06 Contract Marriage for Atilenta's Revenge Henryk leaned back comfortably on the sofa again, a languid expression taking over his features. The momentarily cold and tense atmosphere seemed to unravel in an instant. “You are making a misconception. I cannot make such a deal with a woman who has not even reached adulthood.” “Your Highness…” I blurted out a swift sigh. Though I had no intention of being rude, I couldn't help it. “I am twenty-two years old this year.” In that…

- Chapter 05 Contract Marriage for Atilenta's Revenge “What do you mean by that?” While pointing out that I was mistaken, Henryk still maintained a relaxed demeanor. In truth, the words I had brought up were meant to overturn the intentions of a party that had arrived under the flag of peace. Without hesitation, I brought out the words I had prepared: “Because the royal family has abandoned me.” This was because Henryk had not kicked me out right away and was listening to my words, without…
