broken engagement

“Yesterday, I heard something quite unusual.”

Jeong Ijun, the second grandson of Chairman Jeong of Baekya Food, the 16th-generation descendant of the Seorae family.
And Kim Siyeon, who had spent 25 years as the fiancée of Jeong Gwihyeon, Chairman Jeong’s eldest grandson.

“Although I occasionally inherited useful things like clothes or items my brother used when I was young, inheriting the woman my brother had been with all along is just too much.”

He knew exactly where to prod to make Siyeon feel uncomfortable, and he was making full use of that knowledge.

“So, you just need to come to terms with the fact that you can’t marry the man you’ve always thought of as a younger brother, and take him as your husband for a lifetime.”

He picked up his coffee cup with a relaxed demeanor.

“…I understand what you mean.”
“I’m glad you understand.”
“You’re basically telling me how could a woman who had always been with the older brother end up marrying the younger brother instead.”

His gaze, which had been fixed on the coffee cup, slowly lifted.

“Exactly.”

It was a neatly delivered response.

“Nothing happened. Whether you agree or not, that’s how I will see it.”

She loved Ansel, the grandson of the Earl of Huntington, a summer guest at Longfield.
They had been childhood friends, but drifted apart due to their difference in status. Yet, she kept him in her heart until he became the fiancé of her only sister.
Eloise pulled her hand from his. Then she turned her gaze to the distant night street she had to walk, she replied. Though tears were streaming down her face, she spoke each word firmly so as not to appear any weaker…

“Let’s live as if nothing happened. As if we could forget by closing our eyes. As if we never loved each other.”
“……”
“You can do that.”

With those words, she turned and left. Having no more words to say, she desperately hoped he wouldn’t hold her back with every trembling step.

Why did I come to love you? After the wedding, when I see my sister standing beside you as your wife, will I really be able to accept everything then?

It was a night that felt as if her life had shattered into pieces. The days when she believed in love felt impossibly distant.

“I love a woman other than you. So let’s break off our engagement, Reubellina.”

For ten years, Reubellina has stood by the side of the powerless Second Prince.
But her love was cruelly trampled on the day of their supposed wedding announcement.

Worse, this shameful incident was discovered by someone.
Tartenon Speraum, the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke of the North!

Reubellina begs him to keep it a secret, but he offers her one condition.
A 3-year contract marriage.

And so she went to the North, cultivated the barren land, fixed the chaotic internal affairs, and dealt with the corrupt nobles.
She did everything she could. She thought all she just had to do was leave now.

“Divorce? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Our contract period is not over yet.”
“There’s one day left. I wanted to tell you in advance… … .”
“I’m sorry, Reubellina. I had no intention of letting you go from the beginning.”

[What? Did I hear wrong?]

“Don’t even think about running away. You’re already mine.”

[Excuse me, Grand Duke. Why are you obsessed with me?]

『The man Seia Aden falls in love with becomes the Emperor of the Hellis Empire.』

She was born for Trisltan Hellis.

A miserable life, confined in a tower, unable to contact anyone.

“When I become Emperor, I will set you free.”

She joins hands with Kyle Hellis, Tristan’s brother.
Now, they must use each other to gain the greatest benefit.
Even if it means shedding blood.

“Can I be the first to have your kiss? Before your husband?”
“Do you desire me?”

Meanwhile, Crown Prince Tristan, who senses the subtle tension between the two,
