“Let us hold our wedding in a fortnight.”
‘Lachesis Deate,’ now in her eighth year of living as a presence-less extra so as not to interfere with the original story.
The day after the wedding of the heroine and the male lead—the final scene of the original work—Lachesis receives a mysterious marriage proposal from ‘Kadenic Marutia’, the sub-male lead who is said to secretly love the heroine.
From that day onward, thanks to Kadenic’s schemes, forced daily meetings with him begin to occur….
‘Now that the heroine is marrying the male lead, has Kadenic lost his mind?’
Lachesis, who now plans to live a free life unbound by the original story, immediately rejects Kadenic’s rude, almost commanding proposal.
“What I desire from our marriage is merely a portion of your day, nothing more. If you wish, you may even keep a lover, Miss Lachesis Deate.”
“I’ll give you my answer to your proposal right now.”
“There is no need to respond so hastily. You will end up retracting it later.”
“My feelings are firm and will not change.”
“I’ll hear it next time. We have tomorrow. Then…….”
But at some point,
Kadenic, once the pure and devoted sub-male lead, suddenly transforms into a man obsessed.
“You say you have resolved to marry me—how far, then, does that permit me? Is this acceptable?”
Casting aside the mask of a sleek gentleman, he soon begins trying to bind Lachesis’s nights.
“Chessie, I wish for you to grant yourself to me—and to me alone.”
