Chapter 13 "I'm going to die! I'm seriously going to die!" "Hey." Squeeze. Every time Lucy panicked and wrapped her arms around Edward's head, something soft pressed and rubbed against the side of his face. ...It was surprisingly soft. Far softer than he would have expected from someone so skinny. Edward felt strangely unsettled. 'I thought she was nothing but skin and bones.' And shamelessly enough... She was practically burying herself against him so much that she blocked his…-

Chapter 12 "I can do everything... I can do everything... I can do everything..." Lucy's words echoed through the forest. Edward's smile slowly deepened. A chill ran down Tepe and Gorgo's backs. They exchanged glances. 'His Grace is really going to teach her a lesson.' No one knew better than they did what happened to people Edward singled out. No matter how suspicious she seemed... She looked far too small and fragile to endure it. 'She's really unlucky.' The anger and…-

Chapter 11 Flap. Flap. The temple's banner waved in the distance. Lucy stared at it with her mouth hanging open. 'Already?!' She was shocked. 'Even if the temple guards saw the duke taking me away...' Edward had driven the carriage incredibly fast. They had even avoided the main roads by taking mountain paths. Yet somehow... The temple had already found them. 'Did they put some kind of tracking spell on me?' The thought was so believable that it sent chills down her…-

Chapter 10 Sizzle... A whole wild boar slowly roasted over the fire, filling the air with a delicious aroma. But only one person was actually eating it. Munch... munch... 'I think I'm going to choke.' Even so, Lucy didn't stop eating. She secretly glanced around. The two knights and Edward had been exchanging looks for quite a while now. 'Please don't let them be silently deciding to get rid of me.' A little earlier... The sword that flew toward Lucy hadn't belonged to…-

Chapter 9 "Huh?" "What exactly is this clause?" Edward's beautiful eyes narrowed in annoyance. He was still smiling... But now it looked like a slightly sulky smile. 'He's ridiculously handsome even when he's frowning.' But instead of feeling flustered by his looks... Lucy only wanted to get out of his grasp. To everyone else, his face was one worthy of admiration and worship. But Lucy knew what he was really like. To her, Edward's beauty was nothing more than a ticking time…-

Chapter 8 On the road from the temple to the North. It was the beginning of a bright, pleasant day, with cool breezes and clear skies. "I'll fetch some water while the coachman is sleeping, Your Grace." "I'll go hunting..." "Forget it. There's no need to prepare such a grand meal." "...One of our companions looks like she'll starve to death if she doesn't eat something soon." Tepe and Gorgo glanced at Lucy, who was still sleeping on Edward's lap, then looked toward him. Only after…-

Chapter 7 "That's true." Tepe let out a sigh and cautiously glanced at Edward. The truth was, House Tesseron wasn't completely unaware of the temple's schemes. In fact, they had already begun their own investigation because the temple had recently become suspiciously determined to push Sepina toward the duke. Edward's observation that Sepina's holy power fluctuated greatly had only strengthened their suspicions. "Lately, the temple has been referring to Lady Sepina as 'Your Grace's…-

Chapter 6 "...Pardon?" What is he talking about? Lucy couldn't understand how the conversation had taken such a turn. Without another word, Edward simply continued walking. Huh? 'That's it?' She had just revealed something incredibly important. That Saintess Sepina was a fake. That the temple had falsely presented her as his destined mate. 'And he's just... accepting that?' This should have been a huge revelation for Edward, who had practically been forced into intimate…-

Chapter 5 The stunned guard stood there with his mouth hanging open. Lucy was just as surprised. 'He's really this blunt and rude?' Well, it was true that he only treated the heroine kindly and was cold to everyone else. But seeing it in person made his personality feel even more intense. 'Still... this situation looks suspicious even to me.' 'So why is he helping me?' Knowing how awful the male lead's personality was only made her more nervous. Just as Lucy clenched her fists…-

Chapter 4 '...Of course he isn't okay!' A moment later, Lucy finally realized what position she was in and screamed internally. She was currently being carried in a princess carry by a man radiating a terrifying aura. The hard, burning thing she had touched earlier... ...turned out to be his chest. 'Well, technically his breastplate.' His chest was so broad that the breastplate seemed ridiculously large. 'Would you be okay if you were him, Lucy?' A woman had just fallen out of the…-
