Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 43
“It’s not like it’s deceitful… Everyone would feel that way. I don’t think it’s strange at all.”
Orentia also understood well what emotion Dimidius was feeling. It might seem foolish to wish for one’s desires to come true. But humans seemed to have moments of weakness when they simply needed to lean on the gods.
By the way, what could Dimidius’s wish be? She found herself growing more and more curious.
Orentia finally turned her gaze away when the lanterns on the lake became so intermingled that they were indistinguishable from one another. Taking in the entire lake at once was far more enchanting and beautiful; the sight of countless lanterns shimmering with reflected light was truly magnificent.
Dimidius stood up from his seat and offered her his hand.
“Let’s head back. It’s getting late.”
Without hesitation, Orentia took his hand and rose to her feet.
“Alright. I don’t know how Your Highness feels, but I’m glad I got to enjoy the festival today.”
Dimidius regained his smile at Orentia’s words.
“I enjoyed it as well—thanks to being with you, Lady.”
[This is the timeline separator]
It had already been a month since Orentia’s marriage, yet there was no word of divorce. It was truly odd, especially since Saintess Daphne had even claimed to have given a false prophetic dream.
At the gentlemen’s club, Crown Prince Regalis set down his cards mid-game and remarked to his friends,
“Summer’s finally here. I should head north to hunt birds.”
Whenever it grew hot, nobles would travel north to hunt birds; when it turned cold, they’d head south to enjoy surfing.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
What about her cousin Sokor? It might explain his personality changes.
