But when his fame surpassed the royal family, the king realized the gravity of the situation.
It was clear that the dignity of the royal family was at risk. Furthermore, the possibility of Callis’s rebellion could not be completely ruled out.
Seeking a way to restrain Callis, King Balront XV soon came up with a solution.
Marrying his daughter to Callis and tying the hero’s feet to the royal family.
Accepting him as a member of the royal family would grant boundless benefits, but also make it impossible to usurp the king’s throne.
The suitable candidate to be the hero’s wife was the third princess, Chloe.
The older princesses were already engaged, and the younger ones were too young to lead a marriage, which would have been immoral.
Chloe was supposed to marry the most noble man. Though there were voices opposing him as unfit to be a prince’s spouse, it wasn’t a bad bet to tie down the hero of the century.
Balront unilaterally informed his daughter that her match had been decided, but he did not disclose that the subject was Callis, in case of any possible circumstances.
The hero of the century, Callis, surprisingly accepted Balront’s proposal cleanly.
The rank of a duke and a vast land he could govern. Plus, the monthly support from the royal family. He could not ignore these tremendous rewards.
In fact, Callis had never intended to think about troublesome and headacheinducing things like rebellion, so this became an unexpected windfall.
On the muchawaited wedding day, Chloe faced the man who would be her husband.
The man who received the proposal before her, who would be her future husband, was surprisingly the hero of the century.
She had heard from her father that the man had fallen in love with her at first sight and asked for her hand.
Was it possible that the hero who saved the kingdom, even my peace, fell in love with me?
“The hero has asked for my hand in marriage.”
A proposal from the warrior who saved the world. There could be nothing more fantastical.
It was inevitable that Chloe, who had always admired the hero, would fall in love.
Their newlywed life was fine, even if Callis, who had proposed to her, seemed strange for not actively showing affection.
“You are a really smart woman. Because of you, the ducal house has grown this big. My wife, you are also my benefactor.”
She believed that trusting and supporting each other was also a type of love.
The members of the ducal house, and even the commoners, were kind to her. Thanks to that, Chloe, who had always lived in the royal palace, quickly adapted to her married life.
The peaceful days seemed to continue.
Until that incident happened.
Half a year after their marriage, a massive scandal that shook the kingdom erupted.
“The Unfortunate Cinderella”
The largest newspaper, Million Paper, featured an article about Callis’s old lover.
A woman who had always been selfless to him, but was miserably abandoned as soon as the man became a hero.
Chloe had never heard this story before.
The man who had fallen for her and proposed, had a woman he’d been dating for a long time?
But Callis had left the mansion in a hurry as soon as the article broke, and she had no chance to question him.
She learned of his response the next day, through an article published by the same newspaper.
“An Unfortunate Hero Following the Unfortunate Cinderella?”
The content of the article read as follows:
‘Before he went to war, and even afterward, it is true that he had a longstanding lover with whom he was intimate.
But I never intentionally turned my back on my lover, and this is all the doing of the royal family.
The royal family forced the marriage with the princess, and this was a matter he, no different from a citizen of the kingdom, could not refuse.’
‘What is this… Didn’t Father say that Your Highness proposed to me?’
Chloe, reading the newspaper, couldn’t hide her confusion.
But that was just the beginning.
Million Paper, the leading newspaper company in the kingdom, was a place that didn’t heed the royal family’s wishes. They spread the scandal of the ducal family even further.
Callis Argen also continued to expose it without stopping.
It was clearly stated in the contract, and he did not violate the prohibition against disclosing the contents of the contract, so there was no reason for the royal support to be cut off in principle.
Adding insult to injury, sympathetic public opinion arose following the subsequent article by Duke Argen. Criticisms rained down on the royal side, saying that the hero of the century was sold to the royal family as if he was sold to a brothel.
‘How could the Duke possibly do such a thing…!’
Meanwhile, at the ducal house, Chloe became the target of criticism.
‘Darling. Let’s talk a little…’
‘Darling?’
‘…’
‘Do you not know how disgusting it was for me to be with you for the past six months? Do not call me that way now. Chloe Balront.’
Callis Argen, who had been getting along well with her for half a year, also chastised her.
Seeing her husband say that their married life had been horrible, Chloe couldn’t even ask if he didn’t love her.
It was only much later that she realized that everything she knew was a lie.
In the end, all that remained was the love that she had nurtured on her own.
