FINISHED.
BEFORE GETTING MARRIED, I WROTE MY WILL.
BECAUSE I PLAN TO END MY LIFE AFTER MY WEDDING NIGHT.
HOW DREADFUL AND SHOCKING IT WOULD BE FOR A NEW BRIDE TO KILL HERSELF.
BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.
THE MOST SHAMEFUL AND DISHONORABLE DEATH.
AS THE PRINCESS, I USED TO BELIEVE IT WAS MY DUTY
TO DEVOTE MYSELF TO THE KINGDOM.
BUT I REALIZED THAT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY...
I TRUST YOU'VE PREPARED A SATISFACTORY PRICE.
OF COURSE, YOUR MAJESTY.
ONLY THE BEST IN EXCHANGE FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY'S MOST PRIZED POSSESSION.
I'M NOTHING MORE THAN A MERE COMMODITY.
WHEN THE ROYAL FAMILY ACCEPTED MARGRAVE OBERDE'S PROPOSAL,
I MADE UP MY MIND.
I AM GOING TO SOIL THE CROWN'S
MOST PRIZED POSSESSION.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO GET MY REVENGE.
Prologue
IF I MAY,
YOU'RE A VISION OF BEAUTY.
YOUR HIGHNESS,
ARE YOU TRULY LEAVING TODAY?
DON'T WORRY YOURSELF OVER ME.
I WILL BE FINE.
OH, DEAR...
WHAT ARE WE TO DO?
YOUR HIGHNESS, THE WEDDING PROPOSAL.
LET US BE OFF. WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE.
THE WEATHER IS LOVELY.
YOUR HIGHNESS!
BLAINE.
BLAINE DE ESTIA PRINCE OF ESTIA AND LEAH'S HALF-BROTHER
I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO COME, PRINCE BLAINE.
WATCH YOUR MANNERS, YOU DIRTY SLUT. YOU JUST GOT LUCKY WITH YOUR HUSBAND.
PLEASE STEP AWAY.
WE WON'T BE ABLE TO LEAVE THE CAPITAL TODAY AT THIS RATE.
HOW DARE YOU?!
I NOW...
BELONG TO LORD OBERDE.
ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO DAMAGE HIS POSSESSION?
YOU THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE MARRIED NOW?
AS SOON AS I RISE TO THE THRONE,
I WILL DRAG YOU BACK TO THE CAPITAL.
BY ALL MEANS, BLAINE.
YOU WANT TO DRAG BACK A CORPSE?
BE MY GUEST.
I'M FINALLY LEAVING THIS PLACE.
I'VE LIVED HERE MY ENTIRE LIFE, BUT I HAVE NEITHER REGRET NOR SADNESS ABOUT DEPARTING.
I NEVER BELONGED HERE ANYWAY.
WELL, IF THERE IS ONE THING PULLING ME BACK...
WHY CAN'T I STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM?
HE WAS RUDE,
HEADSTRONG,
AND IMPOSSIBLE TO READ.
THERE'S NO USE IN THINKING ABOUT SOMEONE
WHO'S ALREADY LEFT THE KINGDOM.
BUT...
HE
AND I...
IT'S AN AMBUSH!
IS THAT...?
AAHH!
MAKE HASTE!
MOVE, BEFORE—
NO,
COMPOSE YOURSELF.
STAY CALM...
URGH...
IT'S...
THE KURKAN!
HOW...?
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?
I PROMISED TO RUIN YOUR LIFE.

Having finished her will, she leaves the capital after coldly defying her half-brother Prince Blaine's threats. On the road, haunted by thoughts of a rude man, her carriage is ambushed by the Kurkan.
