She believed he was a heartless husband and treated him badly. Until he was hunted down as a traitor in order to protect her.

‘My wife. Please be in good health.’

Her heart was torn to pieces as she knelt before his severed arm. Even now. But this time she could see that his body was clearly intact.

“Your highness? Why are you crying all of a sudden?”

She had returned after losing hope. To the first night of their wedding three years ago.

“You must be nervous about your first night. Don’t worry. I didn’t plan to spend the night with your highness anyways.”

“Why? I’m your bride and the wedding is over. Now, let’s take off our clothes and go to bed.”

“…Your highness?”

She tugged at his arm with force.

'I’m not leaving you this time. I will protect you for sure, and I’ll die with you if I fail to do so. Not as Nirisu’s princess but your wife, Agnes Alfred,' she pledged with determination.
