Raizel

Raizel Ivanov, the heir to the Duchy of Darklands, showed great talent for battles from a young age. At the age of 14, he led the knights of the Duchy against the invaders who sought to seize Darkness's land due to its abundant wealth. Despite being filled with dangers, the land is perfect for agriculture and possesses the largest magical crystal mines and other valuable minerals. Raizel achieved victory and has since been in the service of the palace to defend the country from any invaders. Due to his ferocity, he earned the nickname "the fire panther" because of the color of his eyes. At the age of 15, he began to enjoy a life of debauchery, seducing women and having fun at parties with his closest acquaintances. The women he usually sleeps with know that they are just that, bed companions, and none of them have complained. However, he also tends to seduce women at noble parties, and there is always someone who wants to be more than his sexual friend. Unfortunately for them, their attempts have never worked, and it has been like this for the past three years. That's why his father wanted him to settle down, and one day he told him that he arranged a fiancée for him.

"She will be arriving soon, and I hope you will be a devoted husband."

"Old man, you ask for the impossible. I'm not a one-woman man."

"You insolent brat! If your mother could see you, I don't know how I would answer to her in the afterlife."

"You're exaggerating, old man."

"You said it yourself, I'm old... you have no idea how much it pains me to see you waste your life like this."

"On the contrary, I enjoy it. There's nothing more satisfying than having those beautiful ladies in my arms."

"You... you're..."

The great Duke starts complaining of a pain in his chest, so his assistants take him to his chambers and call a doctor. The doctor tells them that his heart is weak and could stop at any moment, so they shouldn't cause him any more anger or worries.

"Rai, my time is coming, but I don't want to leave without seeing you married to a good woman. Accept the lady I chose for you."

"Father, you're asking the impossible, you know it."

"Please, Rai, fulfill the wish of this dying old man. She's a good woman, and only by marrying her will I pass on the title to you."

"What? It's obvious that the title will be mine if you die, old man."

"No, if I pass away before you get married, the title will fall into the hands of the king."

Raizel didn't expect to hear something like that. His father makes him aware that to inherit the title, he must marry the girl he chose, and once married, he will receive the title. However, he must stay married for at least five years, or else the title will go to the king. Therefore, Raizel had no choice but to accept Noelle, but he vowed to ignore her completely so that when the time for divorce comes, she won't have any objections to signing the papers.

But things haven't gone according to plan. That very night, he had a party and had no intention of returning home, but he never expected Noelle to show up at that place.

"She's so beautiful, she looks like a porcelain doll."

"I feel like she'll break if I touch her."

"She's gorgeous, it's a waste that she's with Lord Rai."

The two girls from the previous night, along with another, were admiring Noelle, who sat across from Raizel, while he watched the scene angrily. It was unbelievable that these girls were paying more attention to the albino girl than to him.

"What do you mean, a waste? What are you implying, Gloria?"

"Well, what do you think? Obviously, this lovely doll deserves someone better than you."

"Gloria is right, this beautiful little thing is too much for you."

The other girl chimed in, enraging Raizel while Noelle smirked at him.

"Husband, your lovers are very kind."

Noelle maintained her smile, but the girls sat beside her upon hearing what she said.

"Don't worry, doll, from now on, we won't do anything with him."

"That's right, it's not our style to get involved with married or taken men."

"And you shouldn't worry. We will always be watching him to make sure he doesn't get involved with others."

"Hey! You... how the hell can you say something like that?"

As if it wasn't enough, his sexual partners are leaving him because he has a wife, although that won't stop him. Maybe he let himself go last night, but it won't happen again.

"I've had enough, I'm outta here, and you, find your own way back."

"Wait, Rai, you can't let her go alone, it's dangerous."

"There are so many perverts out there."

"That didn't stop her from coming."

Raizel heads towards the exit, so Noelle immediately stands up. She had remained silent since she arrived, and walks to block the path of the dark-haired man.

"I didn't give you permission to leave, husband."

"Who needs your permission? Move, brat."

Raizel pushes her aside, but Noelle follows him. While leaving the place, the boy is about to get into the carriage when he feels someone pulling his arm. It's Noelle who has hung onto him.

"It seems you haven't understood, you can't go wherever you want anymore, unless your mistress gives you permission."

"What? You're talking pure nonsense..."

Suddenly he hears a click, and upon realization, Noelle has a leash in her hand. Upon closer inspection, he can see that the leash ends at his neck. He touches the area, feeling something metallic surrounding it.

"What the hell... remove this... you bitch..."

"This is better than wearing a ring on your finger, kitty."

Raizel feels Noelle pulling on the leash, and unable to free himself, he is already inside the carriage, which starts moving. Raizel tries to break the collar with all his might.

"You're crazy, how can you put this on me? Take it off before you make me angry, being a woman won't stop me from slitting your throat."

"And being my husband won't stop me from doing whatever I want with you."

Noelle pulls on the leash forcefully, causing Raizel to fall to his knees before her. Noelle presses her foot against the boy's groin.

"You better be an obedient kitty. I've been waiting for you for years, and believe me, I'm doing you a favor by making you only look at me..."
