“I missed you.”
“I longed to see you, Yedi. Every single day for the past two years.”
Two years ago.
“I have a young lady to introduce to you, Baron,” the Emperor said.
Navy officer Edward was startled, inhaling sharply at the Emperor’s words. After granting him a title as a reward for winning the war, now the Emperor was even matching him with a fiancée? And she was none other than a young lady from a grand duchy family, and the Emperor’s own niece at that!
“Your Majesty, perhaps you should reconsider this marriage.”
At their first meeting, Edward politely attempted to decline the Emperor’s proposal. But…
“Does he not want to be engaged to me?”
Yelodia, whose talents included horseback riding and whose hobby was running away, seemed deeply disappointed in her betrothed. Outgoing and genuine, Yelodia gradually came to realize her own feelings.
“I think I like Edward—or rather, Baron.”
Edward, however, found himself flustered by his fiancée’s sudden confession, especially as she was six years his junior.
“It’s just that Yelodia is… well…”
“Well, what?”
“Aren’t you… a bit too young?”
With barely a month left until she reached adulthood, life felt particularly unfair to Yelodia. Like a puppy, she was charming and lovable, and Edward, who was usually so composed, found himself helplessly led around by her.
“Please, don’t cry. If you cry, Yelodia, I won’t know what to do.”
Can these two make it through their arranged marriage unscathed?
