번식 결혼

“The eyes should be like Reizen’s, the nose like yours… and the lips like mine – that’s the grandchild you shall bear.”

Three years ago, Melissa was a young lady of a fallen duke’s family.

She chose to be branded a mu*derer rather than be sold into marriage after marriage, but the Emperor, who was known for his obsession with beauty, wanted her to breed with his bloodline.

“One is a mu*derer, and the other tried to kill their partner. So wouldn’t it be safer to bind them together with ‘marriage vows’?”

Through this marriage, the woman who most wanted to die gained life.

“Your Highness, if you agree to this marriage, your future political life will become difficult.”

The illegitimate prince who pursued power had his wings clipped.

Melissa felt guilty towards the man who was suddenly forced to marry her.

‘He must despise me.’

Once, she even begged him to kill her.

But the man’s answer was cruel yet kind.

“I’ll give you a new punishment.”

“……”

“Live. That’s what you must do from now on.”
