My Vampire Fiancé Refused to Lend Me Money, So I Married the Northern Lord
For years, no vampire noble and no human had been willing to marry into it, and the Northern Lord remained unwed, so he'd dug out that old contract, only to give his people some kind of answer.
My father and his wife could never bear to send away Vicky, the daughter my stepmother had borne him.
So they turned their eyes to me.
For nine years after my mother died, my father hadn't spared me a thought.
Now there was a disaster that needed someone to absorb it, and suddenly he remembered that I, too, was a daughter of the Valerie family.
When I didn't answer, my father sighed.
"This is for your own good. No matter how long you wait, young Master Adrian will never marry you."
