Glamorous Fraudulent Marriage of The Fake Saintess

ll carry out the request.
And above all else, neither of us should disclose the contents of the contract to the outside.

Failure to do so will result in serious penalties.
Like the immutable contract stone, it was probably a kind of penalty that damages the soul.

“Great.”

Rizello smiled contentedly.

“You have become my regular customer with this.
I’ll do my best to carry out the request.”

“I’ll look forward to it.”

In an empty hallway, a secret deal was made.

*          *          *

From tea time with Cordelia, and even a chance to talk with Rizello.
I became exhausted after finishing two schedules.

‘I have to take a long nap today.’

The pride of having a deal with Rizello eased me a little.

He would not fail.
He will surely meet the promised deadline.
That was the faith of a reader who knew the character of Rizello.

As a reader of the original story, it was a bit regrettable that I didn’t see Rizello’s real face.

Rizello always wears a mask when he wasn’t disguised as Ray Monahan, and there’s a description that his face from beneath is so handsome that even the original heroine admits it.

What? I wasn’t actually disappointed as I was already tired of seeing a handsome face everyday.
My eyes are comfortable, even though it is bad if I start to get used to it.

‘Should I take a bath first?’

Thinking so, I opened the door to my living quarters and I felt relieved to be at home in the familiar space.

It was the moment that I opened the bedroom door when suddenly my body went numb.

“Are you back now?”

“Argh!”

I heard a voice that should not be heard here.

Snap.
I turned to the side where I heard the sound with shock.

I saw Ian was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching me.

“Why are you so surprised? You’re acting like someone who has sinned.”

“Sin… What are you talking about?”

Then I laughed haha as if I heard a bland joke.

‘God damn.
You don’t know anything, do you?’

Dame Joan and Annette were definitely waiting outside the mansion.
No one witnessed the meeting with Rizello.

‘Okay, let’s be calm.
Lee Seoyeon, there’s nothing to be afraid of!’

I looked at Ian and wore a confident expression on my face.

“You broke into a lady’s room without permission, excuse me.”

“You mean between us?”

‘What is the relationship between us!’

…What kind of relationship… We were engaged after someone spread a deep scandal about us.

In the Rehart Empire, there was probably no other couple that had become a topic as hot as we have.

I averted my gaze because I had nothing to say.
Then Ian got up from the sofa and strode towards me.

‘Keep the distance, keep the distance…’

I suppressed my apprehension and took a step back.
As soon as I met his blue eyes, my effort to keep the distance didn’t bear fruit.

I was not at all comfortable to face Ian at the moment since I did something wrong and felt guilty.

“I’m sorry that I came in suddenly, but I received some unpleasant information.”

“Yes, yes?”

My face became pale as if the had blood drained from my face.
I looked up at Ian with an expression saying ‘what are you talking about again this time?’.

A twisted smile hung over Ian’s face.

“There are rumors that you had a private meeting with a stranger.”

‘N-no way.’

My heart was racing.
There was clearly no one in the hallway where Rizello and I were conversing.

If there was, Rizello would have noticed it first and blocked the view.
Besides, he used magic!

As I rolled my head desperately, Ian continued speaking.

“Aden Othello, I believe.”

I was struck by an unexpected name.

“I heard that you had met with him on the terrace for quite some time.”

‘… Oh, that’s what he meant.’

I sighed in relief.
Fortunately, he didn’t find the rumors about the meeting between Rizello and I.

“I didn’t talk much with Aden.
It’s not that nothing happened, but it’s a trivial story.”

It was cumbersome to explain to Ian about the necklace and their coercive selling.
Ian wouldn’t want to hear that either.
So I was going to skip it, but Ian said something and smiled strangely.

“Aden Othello, Lucian told me that he was the winner of ‘Flower of Rehart’ in the male category.”

Flower of Rehart? What was that?

After a while, I exclaimed -ah-.

‘Flower of Rehart’ was a beauty contest that selects the most handsome men and beautiful women of the empire every year.
There was an episode in which the original male lead unexpectedly participated and then won.

“…Really?”

I contemplated Aden’s face again.
He certainly had a beautiful and handsome face.
Although, it wasn’t enough to win the best handsome man award.

I glanced at Ian unconsciously.

‘This person should participate… Um.
He wouldn’t do it.’

Right.
Of course he wouldn’t do it.
I nodded my head, convincing myself.

“You’re right.
That’s right.”

“I think you like pretty ones, Madam.”

I looked at Ian to see what he meant by this again.
He was still looking at me with a subtle smile.

“I’m telling you in case you’re misunderstanding, I just talked to Aden for a few minutes.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.
Of course.
I’m not going to explain it, it’s just that I had nothing to say because it really didn’t matter.”

“Hmm.”

Ian raised the corners of his mouth smoothly.

“No cheating, Madam”

‘Huh?’

This nonsense made me look absurd.

“Me? Cheating? With Aden?”

Pfft. I burst into laughter without realizing it.

There is damn nothing between me and that fucking bastard.
A Saintess? Cheating?

I shook my head furiously.

The relationship between me and Ian is a marriage contract that is worth 10 million Mars.

I was confident enough to say that I wouldn’t be shaken even if the most handsome man tried to seduce me with their soft smile.

“Don’t worry, that man is not my type.
My preference is a man that has broad shoulders and a bit taller…”

And there was an appropriate example right in front of me.
I raised my head and looked at Ian’s height and said,

“He should be like Sir Ian.”

Ian slowly raised one eyebrow.

“Is that so? Am I really tall?”
