Prologue

"Father..."

I looked up at the man in front of me, my eyes open. I could see his neat eyebrows creeping up. His handsome face flashed a blank look.

"Father?""Ehm..."

I made a slip of tongue again. This mouth of mine! This damn mouth! I changed my words quickly.

"Well...no...Your Majesty""..."

His Majesty who seemed offended did not even answer. Ah, it was wrong of me to keep turning a healthy, unmarried youngman into a father.

I smiled widely. No matter how beautiful this man is in this celestial world, smiling eyes are always considered beautiful.

I said with a big smile that cramped my face."Will you marry me?"

'Just marry me instead of the scary Lady Elard.'

Marriage. Huh?

With his cat-like, red-purple eyes and his shiny silver hair, the young emperor, Euredian Belgoth, immediately looked at me with an absurd face.

"Princess."

"Call me Yerenica."

This man with his absolute defensive iron wall would never do it though. Once again, I looked up at Euredian with my sparkling eyes.He looked a bit embarrassed now.

"I didn't kidnap you to marry you."

"I know that."

"But why?"

I pondered for a moment.Why?Well,Because if we get married,you'll get to live longer. But I can't say that. In the end, I just said something romantic.

"I fell in love with you the first time I met you."

"But I don't love you, princess.."

Eh?

"And you know, I already have a fiancée.." I can barely smile after he finished these two sentences. Just keep calm.

"You said she wasn't your fiancée"

"Well, let's call her my future fiancée then."Look at this. I know for sure that he's lying!

I barely kept my smile without grinding my teeth.

"You're right. Let's say the future is unpredictable.Does Your Majesty love Lady Elard?"

"I can't really say I do..."

"Well,does that mean I have a chance?"

"Why should I give you a chance?" Euredian answered my defiant question lightly.

"Because you like me...?"

I blacked out at his expression. Euredian was laughing loudly. He was so handsome that it was easy enough to fall into frustration.

Again, he rejected me. I can't believe it's too fast!

"Well,I don't think so."

I've put aside my pride because I thought he was friendly, but after all, he's still a suspicious and tall-walled man.

I like you. I love you. Should there be more reasons?

–

You don't love her at all, what are you talking about? I quickly focused back and started to try to appeal to him.

"If you marry me, there will be a lot more to gain than marrying Lady Elard."

"For example?"

"I own a granary in the western valley of Lebovny. You know right? The western valley is the blessed land by the goddess!"

"If it's blessed, Belgoth is full of that."

"A-and! I'm the youngest princess of Lebovny. I have a lot of dowries, thanks to that I own a considerable amount of money..."

"Is the Lebovny Princess worried about Belgoth's treasury?"

I won't give up. How about this one?

"If you marry me, my father will open the Glucaman road!"

The reply was unexpected.

"Even if I don't marry the princess, I think the Glucaman Road will be opened soon."

The horse was bound to mute the honey. My country is a small and powerless kingdom. Which is sad, to say the least. If he knew I was doing this in order to save him, he'd accept our marriage instantly! But I can't spit it out. I screamed out to the gods.

If you marry Lady Elard, you will surely get a terrible ending! She's going to raise your son as the evil black wizard and you're going tobe murdered by him before you get past 40! I'm trying to save you here!

But if I get those words in public, I'll be treated like a crazy person or will be questioned about the source of this information. In the end, I used my last card. I really didn't want to use this!

"Don't you think I'm pretty?"

"Well,I don't know"

To say the least, I was speechless.

Right. Euredian Belgoth was clearly a cold-blooded man with not a trace of remorse. He's setting an iron wall as well. I was bitter. This isnthe first time my beauty isn't working!

Of course, it was not a new enlightenment. This man, even compared to Yerenica, was a good-looking man who would not lose to her.

"Oh. Will you be angry if I answer this? The Lebovny Princess who looks like a cat?" Euredian smiled.

"...."

"This is the first time I've been proposed to, so it's nice. But, I want you to know that I don't want to marry the princess. I don't want a marriage without love as a foundation."

I was so drained that I ended up nasal breathing.

'Hey! Earlier you said you didn't love Lady Elard!'

Euredian shrugged as he read my face like he found somethingfunny.On this windy day, there was a lot of bitterness.

"I'm trying to love her."

"What?"

"As soon as the Glucaman Road opens, I'll send you back to Lebovny."

Oh, this iron wall can't be passed.

He says that he'll try to love that wicked woman just because he doesn't know anything about it yet. That woman will teach your son how to use black magic!

I feel frustrated to death. This isn't just to save the future of Euredian Belgoth, but to save my future too. I must stay close to him like a molasses as long as I'm in this body. I must change this world before the original timeline of the story starts.

"Heh."

I stepped back, swallowing tears of sorrow. First, Indeed to do something. My eyes flashed open.

Do you think I'll give up just because you put up a wall like that?Since I'm then captive of Belgoth, I'm surely going to seduce you!

Euredian went away from me with an amused look. Bad brat!

It has been a year since I fell into the world in the book.Well,about 20 years before the original story began.

My desperate attempt to save us both, the pitiful supporting roles, started off with the rejection of the "villain's father."
