Be Careful When Choosing a Husband

Eloise lives alone in a hut at a monastery after her mother dies and her father takes away their family fortune. When she hears that her father has died, she escapes the monastery and heads to the capital to inherit the estate and title. But to receive what is hers, she needs to get married within a few hours.

“Dear God, could you please send me one person who will become my husband? If possible, right now.”

Did God answer her prayer?

Right then, some man rolls right up in front of Eloise!

Her late mother told her, “Be careful when choosing your husband,” but she has no time for that now. Eloise makes a proposal to the man named Rakshan, who took her money.

“Instead of money, how about repaying me with your body?”

Without dreaming that Rakshan is the emperor’s younger brother and the mercenary king Harkan.

Rakshan looked at Eloise, asleep on his bed.

“How did it end up like this?”

He had only meant to help someone who said they had nowhere to go for a little while.

And while he was at it, he’d receive some help too.

Someday, when she left, he’d send her off with thanks for the time they had shared.

But now Rakshan realized something.

He would never be able to let her go.
