Please Repay Me with Marriage!

Leonard Elpiers, who came up to the capital to gather the money to pay off his debts, receives a little help from a woman he meets for the first time there.

"Thank you for helping me. Is there anything I can do to repay you?"

"Of course. As much as you like."

She asks for an escort as repayment, and Leonard accepts.

He had no idea that her idea of repayment wouldn’t end with the escort.

"This is the man I’ve promised to marry!"

And so he ended up being tied down by her for life.

Irenea Blair lost her parents in an instant, and then her uncle took away the title, territory, wealth, and even her life that her parents had left behind.

And then she came back. To the time before everything was taken from her.

‘I will never be taken from again this time. Not my life, not my parents’ inheritance, not my younger siblings’ future.’

And there was one more thing she had to reclaim.

"Please marry me, Sir Leonard."

"You may not know this, but I was born illegitimate."

"How is that your fault, Sir? No one in this world gets to choose their parents."

"......You truly don’t consider that a flaw?"

"Of course. If you marry me, I’ll make sure you never think that way again."

The promise he broke for the first and last time—the promise that, of all things, he would die before her.

"Not just Sir Leonard, but everyone who made Sir Leonard think that way."

This time, I’ll protect you.
