Marriage with the Younger Brother of the Man Who Betrayed Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 18
I can say without a doubt that I’ve never once been happy about a gift forced upon me by Ernant.
Yet Karl didn’t seem inclined to believe my words so easily.
“Huh? But Vice Captain, you….”
“However you heard it, that’s a false rumor. I accepted the dress and agreed to become His Majesty’s partner solely because it was an imperial decree. I never wanted to be his partner—I simply had no right to refuse.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Karl came to an abrupt halt.
He looked utterly astonished.
After all, I had once obeyed Ernant’s orders with blind devotion—so much so that I’d feign death if commanded. Now, suddenly contradicting myself, it was only natural he’d be shocked.
I waited a moment, letting Karl recover from his surprise.
After standing frozen as though time itself had stopped, Karl hesitantly opened his mouth again.
“You didn’t want to become His Majesty’s partner? Then… does that mean your feelings toward him have… um… cooled off? That’s how it sounds to me, at least.”
“Feelings….”
Feelings did remain—but only anger.
Yet I knew Karl wasn’t asking about anger.
He was clearly wondering whether I still held any lingering affection for Ernant.
After hesitating over how to respond, I simply tossed out a vague answer.
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!!!
