Contractual marriage

“Please marry me, Your Grace.”

“Marriage?”

Kyle raised his eyebrow and expressed his query.
I held both of my hands together, hoping that the quivering hands would calm down.
I thought I just had to say the words that I had put together, but as I’m standing in front of him, my voice trembled from the tension, and I couldn’t even speak properly.
I lowered my line of sight to avoid Kyle’s eyes.

“Yes, marry me, your grace.”

Kyle’s sharp eyes scoured me.
Perhaps it was to find my intentions of proposing a marriage.
How much time passed by, before he took his eyes off me as if he didn’t understand my intentions.
No, precisely speaking it was the eyes that lost interest.

That’s plausible.
There must be countless families sending him proposals.

The Duke of Herace, In the war that ended not long ago, he slashed the enemy’s neck, leading years of war to victory and offered the head of the enemy general to the emperor.
He gained enormous wealth and power for his work, so it was natural that attention was followed.

On top of that, He had a beautiful appearance, so he was a figure coveted by everyone.
Dark hair like ink and grey eyes like dawn clouds.
Only in light did his eyes hold color, shining brightly as a colorful jewel.

Kyle turned his face to me with a shallow breath.
Seeing his face which looked so cold and insensitive, It won’t be an exaggeration to say that he looked as if his enemy was in front of him.

As Kyle lowered his eyelids, a dark shade was cast on his eyes by his eyelashes.
Kyle’s eyes, with their dark light, gradually sank and became murky.
Seeing that he slightly frowned, he seemed to feel uncomfortable and repulsed by the situation.

Yes, his feelings about my absurdity were understandable.
A viscount Young-ae*1 suddenly came to visit him.
Aelle Karena from the family of Viscount ‘Karena’ whose financial condition is unstable and whose name can’t even be found in the political world.

She was the daughter of Viscount Karena, who is addicted to gambling and drinking, and had an older brother, who cut off ties with the family.
In short, her father was no less than a small local aristocrat.

I bet he’s never even heard my name.
I only met him today because, when I heard that the owner of a flower shop I often visit was going to deliver flowers to the Herace family, I came to deliver them instead.

The florist’s owner said the duke was picky about checking the flowers himself, but for me, it was the only chance to meet with him.

It’s absurd that the woman who came to deliver the flowers revealed her identity and asked for such a thing.

Although it was rude, he listened to me with curious eyes.
Of course, it wasn’t long before his interest was cut off, just like a puppet’s string.

Kyle rose calmly from his seat as if he had not an ounce of regret.
Meanwhile, he had a bored look on his face.

“Lady Aelle Karena.
I have no intention of marrying anyone.”

He put a stop as if he was unwilling to have any more
