Chloe’s legs gave way as soon as she returned to the room. Sliding down the door’s wall, she finally collapsed.
The feeling of suffocation.
Chloe was choking, clutching at her throat. The more she struggled to breathe, the more rapid her breath became.
Transparent liquid poured from her eyes, nose, and mouth. Only when she had given up even the will to breathe did her body regain its calm.
‘……How on earth.’
She could not forget.
The man’s face, who had been babbling about love since then, was clear.
‘You know, too. How much I love Helena. I’ve been pretending to be your husband without any hitches for the past year, now let me live my life.’
He should have shown some sign of regret.
If he had, Chloe could have understood the man without hesitation.
Callis’s arrogant behavior, claiming to have done his duty as a husband, was disgusting.
Could he truly not remember the actions he had committed over the last six months?
‘After that incident,’ Callis treated Chloe as if she were nonexistent in the mansion. He went so far as to join the townspeople and the members of the ducal family.
She was barely treated as a human being at social gatherings. If she hadn’t had power, she would have been reduced to a bug.
Moreover, Callis vacated the mansion for several weeks and refused to reunite. Afterward, the room she was given was even worse than an attic.
Was that all? He ignored her when she was severely ill from the unfamiliar cold of the north, when she was attacked by a monster that had invaded the mansion and had seen blood.
But the reason Chloe had not resisted at all was because of the guilt she felt towards him.
She had endured his character assassination because she wanted to alleviate his anger.
Hoping that their strained relationship would eventually be okay. Hoping that the angry him would someday forgive her.
‘It was all in vain.’
But what came back, nullifying all her efforts, was another insult.
(This is the time separator.)
There were many reasons Chloe and Callis got married.
The important fact was that neither of them wanted the marriage.
It all began three years ago when war broke out with the Empire.
A sudden proposal came before the Balront Kingdom, which had been keeping the peace.
To integrate with the Empire and become part of it as well.
If the kingdom refused to integrate, war would be declared, making it essentially a threat.
They had to accept the proposal. They had to reject it. Amidst many divided opinions, the king finally chose to reject.
‘We may be able to contribute to the development of both countries by joining the Empire, but we cannot betray our homeland. The Balront Kingdom refuses to become a subject of the Freehid Empire.’
As expected, the Empire declared war upon hearing the king’s opinion.
The war began at the barren wasteland of the Lian River, dividing their borders, in an effort to minimize casualties.
Compared to the Empire, the kingdom was a minor country. The kingdom’s knights fought hard, sensing defeat.
To protect their families, friends, lovers, and homeland.
Among them was the princess of the royal family, Chloe.
Born weak, she couldn’t wield force like the knights. Instead, she volunteered to nurse the knights without the knowledge of the royal family, caring for them day and night.
But their sweat and tears could not overturn the cruel reality.
Soon the number of knights who could participate in the war hit rock bottom.
In the end, the kingdom’s knight order decided to use their last bastion. They decided to send a member of the knight order to the Empire.
The knights in the sickbed were sent to the Empire’s fortress. Their mission was one of two things.
To assassinate the king of the Empire, or to succeed in negotiations with him.
A nearly impossible mission. It would be fortunate if the knights dispatched for the mission did not die.
Ten days after the absurd mission began, thirtyone knights had been sent, twenty of whom did not return.
“The Empire successfully negotiated, ultimately declaring an armistice…….”
When the twentyfirst knight returned to the imperial camp, the war had ended.
It was a surprising success in negotiations with the Emperor.
“Who was the knight that succeeded in negotiations?”
The twentysecond knight to save the kingdom was none other than Callis Argen.
Everyone was surprised by the unfamiliar name they had never heard before. How could someone with such mediocre intellect and swordsmanship save the kingdom?
Moreover, wasn’t the Argen family of counts gradually declining due to the pile of debt left behind by their ancestors?
“‘Callis Argen,’ the hero who saved the kingdom!”
But such a thing of the past vanished cleanly through Callis’s brilliant achievements.
Callis Argen! Our hero!
His name spread throughout the kingdom. Receiving the glorious spotlight, he became a true god whom the kingdom served.
At first, the royal family highly praised Argen’s achievements, bestowing not only wealth but also a title upon him.
