Didn’t Plan to Become a Companion (Completed Main Story)

“I’ll make sure you never regret our engagement.”

Countess Liènne, who once tasted death, dreams of being burned at the stake in the distant future for pretending to be the consort of a duke.

Believing she could change the future by raising Duke Ricardo, still young and confined in the earldom, and sending him to his true consort, she inadvertently awakens his powers during a fencing lesson.

The problem?

Only a consort can trigger such an awakening.

‘Oh no, I’m doomed. Absolutely doomed.’

Fearing a fiery end as a false consort, she decides to flee to a remote village and live in hiding.

However, her tranquil rural life is disrupted when an adult Ricardo finds her, declaring she’s his consort and taking her to the capital…

“You’re taking me because I helped trigger your awakening?”

“Yes. So, you are mine.”

“What? What do you mean by that…”

“As my awakener, you could also be my consort, right?”
