Elleanor’s Very Ordinary Escape

“Can you bear being my lover and giving birth to a child before marriage?”

“What will you give me?”

A soft arc formed in the man’s eyes.

It was impossible to tell whether what lingered there was a smile or mockery.

But the words that left his mouth were sweet.

“Your land will be freed from famine. I promise.”

For Elenia Yelsberg, Dominic Nothav's proposal was tempting.

The Teuton region, where her family’s estate lay, was suffering from three years of drought.

Elenia forced herself to stop thinking and nodded.

“The man is full of things he hides, and he lies very well.”

The imperial princess who was to marry Dominic visits Teuton and leaves behind a meaningful remark.

As Elenia gradually falls for Dominic's gentleness, suspicion begins to spread faintly in her heart.

People who knew the contents of the contract start disappearing or losing their lives.

“The fewer people who know, the better. Human lips are hard to trust.”

Elenia realizes the meaning behind Dominic's out-of-context words.

Now all that remains for Elenia is to run away.
