My Dream Is to Be a Good Wife and Wise Mother, But…

Kali, a muscular mercenary standing 175 centimeters tall, dreams of getting married.

She ends up entering the Crown Prince’s “Consort Selection Tournament” and, to her surprise, is chosen as one of the prospective consorts.

Crown Prince Cliff initially picks Kali because she seems sturdy enough to act as a shield for the woman he truly loves. However, he finds himself increasingly drawn to her.

“Your clothes look too tight. Honestly, it might be better if you just take them all off.”

“…Should I? I’ve been feeling suffocated anyway.”

Kali’s face brightened at Cliff’s remark, but the Empress slammed her hand on the table in front of her.

“How dare you! This is the sacred imperial palace! Such words are unacceptable, even from the Crown Prince!”

Cliff locked eyes with the Empress.

“For all we know, a woman like her might have tattoos on her body—or even scars. Shouldn’t I check if the woman who could become my wife has any defects? Isn’t that the whole point of this tournament?”
