To the Wolf Who Swallowed Me

Eda has always been defined by others as a useless hated daughter, a beast-like illegitimate child, and a sham grand duchess.

She has always been pointed at by others.

Even by her husband.

That husband died.

The returnee inherited everything from his brother—including his brother’s wife.

Life was never kind to Eda.

So she had no expectations for this second marriage.

Even when her husband’s younger brother held her tightly, served delicious food, and provided beautiful clothes.

But Astaldo was always relentless,

and in the end, he swallowed her up.

***

“Was my brother a good man?”

A good man? It was not something she could joke about.

“Did my brother do this? Tell me, Eda.”

“…….”

“My brother probably liked your neck.”

Eda could not say a word. He wore a face tangled with all kinds of emotions, and she could not tell what those emotions were.

***

“I…… meant to say I was sorry for being untrustworthy.”

“Did I ever say anything like that even once?! My wife is perfect!”

Astaldo shouted loudly.

Eda, who had always been gloomy, suddenly heard herself being called perfect.

It was a word she had never heard before. She swore she had never received such ecstatic praise.

“W-wait…….”

Could she have heard wrong? No, that wasn’t it. Eda’s mind exploded once again.

“Say it again? My wife is perfec…….”

“D-don’t say it!”

Her heart feels like it’s about to burst.
