Although Ollentia described it as pain, it was no different from asking her to endure a situation that could turn her into a complete demon.
So, hoping that Ollentia would stay with him might be an arrogant thought.
What decision would Ollentia make?
Demidius closed his tired eyes, thinking he would have to wait for her decision.
“Miss, are you okay?”
Bobby, who had been watching Ollentia frozen the whole time, asked with a worried expression. Bobby looked perplexed.
Ollentia felt overwhelmed with thoughts, as if her head was about to explode. She grabbed Bobby’s platinum hair and spoke to him.
“Bobby, if there’s someone who really needs you, and if you’re not there, it could be a big problem! But what if you don’t feel like it, what would you do?”
Although Demidius hadn’t directly appealed for Bobby to join them, the situation was almost the same.
She had no intention of having a wedding or becoming the one to supply divine power to Demidius.
‘Everything’s terrible. What on earth does he want me to do?’
However, after thinking for a long time, Bobby spoke to Ollentia.
“If you don’t feel like it, I think you should ask that person first. What can you offer me? Listen to it and if you like it, you can be with them. If not, you can refuse.”
Ollentia clapped her hands, not realizing she was doing it. She felt like she had heard a very important piece of advice.
Clap! Clap!
“That’s right. It’s not just about what I can give, but the other person should have something to offer me too. That’s how a contractual relationship is established!”
It was a point she hadn’t thought of before. Even though they had married in the dream, if it was a contractual relationship, the story would change.
Ollentia hugged Bobby tightly and swallowed her saliva.
‘What can Duke Bellial offer me…’
She couldn’t understand why Kikozellia’s words suddenly came to mind. Kikozellia had confidently told her.
‘Ask others. Miss. See if there’s any family in the Bonus Empire that can match the Armeniaca viscount family except for the Bellial Duke’s family.’
If it were Duke Bellial, he was the most suitable candidate to be married to instead of Viscount Luxe. The prestige of the Bellial Duchy was so great that Luxe Viscount, who was almost certain to lose his bride, wouldn’t say a word, and even Count Sokor would have to return the dowry.
Once again, it seemed to her how great his position within the empire was.
However, Ollentia had not given up on canceling the wedding.
So she didn’t say a word to Demidius.
Finally, the day Ankedo had promised arrived.
Ollentia went to Morin’s room and then took a carriage to Ankedo’s estate after hearing various stories.
She even made a contract with mercenaries to find the location of the secret place. She had secretly asked them to follow her when she moved by carriage, but she couldn’t predict what would happen.
A little later, she arrived at Ankedo’s estate.
After catching her breath, she entered a brown wooden building. Two men approached Ollentia.
“You’ll have to change carriages, and from then on, you’ll have to cover your eyes.”
“Are you okay with that?”
In any case, they had all agreed to this.
Ollentia nodded her head, and they guided her to a carriage behind the mansion. When she got on the carriage, black cloth was placed over her eyes. It felt strange not being able to see, but she endured it.
To catch the culprit, save Morin, and be of help to Archbishop Werbu, she needed to be bolder.
‘I have to resolve things on my own and stop the marriage with Luxe Viscount. That’s the only way.’
With a firm determination, she felt the carriage moving smoothly. It felt like she had been riding for quite some time.
How much time had passed?
When the black cloth on her eyes started to feel stuffy, the carriage came to a stop.
Squeak!
Ollentia, who was about to lurch forward, grabbed her chest with one hand and swallowed her breath.
Had the mercenaries followed her carefully?
Fortunately, it seemed they hadn’t been discovered yet.
The men who had been riding with her removed the black cloth covering Ollentia’s eyes. Only then did Ollentia tidy her disheveled hair and blink her eyes.
“You have arrived. Please exit.”
Approached by one of the men, Ollentia got off the carriage and found herself on a wide grassy field. Ankedo, with silver hair spread out, was seen in front of a brown wooden building. He neatly gathered his two hands and smiled. There were deep wrinkles next to his mouth, and his eyebrows were raised.
He was clearly smiling brightly, but why did she feel so uncomfortable? Did she know what kind of man he was?
Ollentia swallowed her dry saliva.
“It’s a great pleasure for such a distinguished guest to visit.”
Approaching the somewhat stiff Ollentia, Ankedo greeted her. He seemed as relaxed as usual. The only difference was that he wore more extravagant accessories than when he was at the Odor Cathedral.
Ollentia nodded her head and followed him across the grassy field. In front of the grassy field, there was a circular domed building. It shone whiter in the sunlight. It felt like she had entered a temple.
Moreover, in front of the circular domed building, there was a golden tiger statue, and Ollentia felt as if she were entering a tiger’s den.
“I was very surprised to hear from you. Why do you need a magic item that changes your gender?”
In response to Ankedo’s question, Ollentia spoke as naturally as possible.
“That’s a secret. I think you’ll keep the customer’s secret, but I also have a private life.”
Ankedo nodded as if understanding.
“I see. I’ve prepared a magic item for gender transformation, so don’t worry.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
