The next morning.
Delmarc’s knights had been contemplating since early morning and were standing in the training ground.
“Argh!”
Their comrade who had never properly retaliated even once dropped his sword and collapsed.
The person standing in front of him was Herdin.
Herdin looked at him with a cold gaze and gestured to one side of the training ground.
There, knights were lined up with their heads held high and their backs straight, waiting in a ready stance.
All of them were those who had never properly retaliated against Herdin in their duels.
“Next.”
At Herdin’s command, the next knight stepped forward with a frightened expression.
The eyes of the other knights watching their comrade were like watching a comrade who was about to jump into a battle. At the same time, they also sent pitiful glances, as if looking at a sinner who had received a death sentence.
They looked at their pitiful comrade and Herdin in front of them with resigned expressions.
A war hero.
Empowered by divine power, the empire’s only Dark Mage.
“Is there really a knight in this empire, no, in this continent, who can defeat him…?”
Especially the knights who had fought against Herdin on the battlefield for a long time knew his abilities well.
If they could just properly retaliate once and face him, they would consider themselves fortunate.
Although they usually blamed the Creator’s fierce favoritism, today, that exceptionally handsome face that they couldn’t help but stare at even when they blamed it as a matter of course, looked like the face of a god of death.
One of the knights who was waiting for his turn to block Herdin’s one-sided attacks, hoping for the best for his comrade, signaled to his colleagues.
“Hey, who is it?”
“What?”
“Who offended His Highness?”
“Offended? I haven’t even properly seen him since he was busy preparing for the wedding and getting married.”
“Then why is the newlywed second groom, who should be enjoying his honeymoon, exhausted here from the morning?”
“If you were forced to marry the enemy’s daughter, would you feel like enjoying your honeymoon?”
I see.
Those who didn’t know the answer shrugged their shoulders. Then, they suddenly looked at the person next to them who seemed to know the answer.
“Do you know, Assistant?”
But Ruth just shook his head and shrugged his shoulders without answering.
So they were all awake and making a fuss without knowing anything.
At that moment, the knights who were standing at the entrance of the training ground started to make noise as they looked in that direction.
As Herdin noticed the atmosphere and at the same time heard a small cough, he immediately turned his head in the direction of the sound. Blair, accompanied by Mason, had entered the training ground.
“Mason, what’s going on here?”
He asked the butler, but in reality, it was a question directed towards Blair.
Blair pretended to listen to Mason’s answer.
“I greeted the servants yesterday, but I couldn’t greet the knights. I had a little free time before going to the palace, so I thought I’d come and say hello.”
But even though she had distracted herself by glancing at her beauty for a moment, no one was taken aback.
“Is she trying to play the role of a hostess with us too?”
Although they had thought of Herdin as someone who would break their spirits just a while ago, they were comrades who had survived together on the battlefield.
The greater their loyalty to Herdin, the greater their resistance to Blair, who was a member of the royal family.
She probably knew that herself, whether she was naive or stubborn.
Herdin, thinking that way, stepped forward to introduce Blair to the knights.
“You’ve probably seen her faces as they passed by, but you haven’t formally greeted them.”
“…….”
“Say hello. She’s the future duchess who will serve you.”
When the master stepped forward, even the knights who had been somewhat wary of Blair made sure to show their respect outwardly.
“Delmarc’s loyal knights formally greet the lady.”
“Nice to meet you too. I came here suddenly, so I appreciate your hospitality. I look forward to working with you.”
Blair smiled faintly, but her gaze carefully scrutinized each of their faces, remaining quietly vigilant.
In truth, Blair had a different purpose for visiting the knights’ training grounds.
In her past life, she had made efforts to be recognized as the mistress, but these were people who despised her.
There was no need to make an effort to impress or gain their recognition. After all, once this contractual marriage was concluded, she wouldn’t see them again.
The real reason she had come to the knights’ training ground was…
‘Maybe the person who killed me is among them.’
As one of the three dukes of Delmarc, the duke’s knights had the skills to match the imperial knights who had fought in battles themselves.
And the assassin who had killed Blair had infiltrated the mansion despite the strict security.
One of the reasons Blair suspected Herdin as the one behind her death was because of this.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
