The Real Reason We’re Arranging a Marriage

“I missed you.” “...I wanted to see you, Yedie. Every single day for the past two years.” Two years ago. “There is a young lady I would like to introduce to you, Baron.” At the emperor’s words, naval officer Edward gasped in surprise. The emperor had bestowed a title on him as a reward for leading the war to victory, and now he was even arranging a fiancée for him. And she was the daughter of a grand duke’s family, and the emperor’s niece? “Your Majesty, might I ask you to reconsider this marriage?” At his first meeting with Yolodia, Edward politely refused the emperor’s proposal. However. 'It seems he doesn’t want to be engaged to me.' Yolodia, who is good at horseback riding and loves running away from home, looks very upset with her betrothed. The eccentric yet honest Yolodia gradually comes to understand her own feelings. 'I think I like Edward—no, Baron Edward.' Edward is troubled by the sudden confession of his fiancée, who is six years younger than him. 'Only, Yolodia is just too...' 'Too?' 'Too young, isn’t she?' With just over a month left until she comes of age, Yolodia’s life feels unbearably bitter. In front of the adorable, puppy-like Yolodia, Edward, who is especially flustered only around her, is helplessly dragged along. 'Please don’t cry. If Yolodia cries, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.' Can the two of them safely go through with this political marriage?
