Once Her Betrothed, Now Her Judge
After Princess Winona Green abandons me at the border's military camp for five years, she finally remembers my existence and decides to bring me home.
When a dozen or so carriages that are laden with wedding gifts arrive at the military camp, Winona's expression is filled with unbridled smugness.
"I did tell you that once I gave birth to Shane's child, I'd marry you, Gideon. See? I didn't lie to you at all. Today, I've personally come to the border just to pick you up."
Then, Winona approaches me haughtily.
"Shane might be a musician, but I've already sired the oldest child with him. It's only reasonable for him to be made an equal consort, just like you, the son of an official."
I merely frown without saying anything. All I do is look at Winona.
She lets out a sigh before walking toward me again.
"I know that you've been hopelessly waiting for me for the past five years, Gideon. That's why I traveled all the way to this barren wasteland just to prove my sincerity to you. In half a month, we shall get married."
The sight of Winona immersed in her own fantasy of fake devotion makes me chuckle coldly.
"Seize them!"
How dare Winona make me, the general of the border, fight with a mere musician over her affections!
Does she really think that my blade is just a decoration?
