[We propose the betrothal between Aranes, the third of the Rudwig family, and Sarovan of the Leigro family.]

A marriage contract bound by the King’s decree.

It was nothing more than a high wall, taking away the things I loved and attempting to steal a handful of freedom.

The man outside the fence just laughed. The phrase I most frequently heard from him was: ‘Don’t do it.’

“You are so annoying.”

“Show some respect, Nes. I am your fiánce.”

My freedom may eventually become yours, but my true love has been pledged to my sword.

I’ve dreamed of things women aren’t allowed to desire. To tear down the walls that confine me and to see his smug face filled with dismay.

But as I became a woman, and he became a man, Sarovan Leigro started to act a bit strange.

“Stop there, Nes. Let’s talk before you go.”

“No, why should I? I don’t like you.”

“To think you’ll have to veil your face and face a man you don’t like. How pitiful.”

His presence still inflamed my anger to the point that it was going to burst.

“If you love the sword so much, then duel with me.”

“…What?”

“A sword duel, that thrilling feeling.”

Is he acknowledging my freedom, or is this another trap?

I’m not too kind to trust you, and you were too vile to let me go.

As time passed, I grew more afraid of you.

The strange heat in your gaze. The scolding in your tender voice. The cool honesty you shared only with me, everything.

For fear that I might no longer be able to hate you.

Lest I lose the strength to break through his cunning walls.

This is such a well written novel omg. The story is also quite capturing. And translation is also seamless. If you're doubting whether you should read it or not, just go for it! Trust me. You won't regret it!!

I really love the writing of this story (the translations are also clear and able to keep its essence). The story is usually in the POV of the FL, who is, to me, kinda naive (?) or have a single-track mind (she's only interested in swordmanship and isn't interested at all in girlish pursuits), but I find her lovable. On the outside, she might seems rather uninterested, because she keeps in a lot of her thoughts, a reason due to having to behave in a ladylike manner due to her... more>> position as a noble, and also due to her own personal pride. But she's adorable to people who knew her private side. Which includes the ML. And FL is Bakarina level of being ignorant of ML feelings for her, but it's not like she noticed but ignore the signs (like many other written FL who to me is pretending to be ignorant), it's because she already misconstrued the ML's intentions due to ML initial interaction with her and his double-faced personality. I'm really looking forward to how the ML captures her heart slyly, bit by bit. The ML seems to adore her from the start, or at least quite early, , but he is not great at being nice, partly due to his bg, but once he gets to see her real character and truly fell for her, he tries hard and slyly (cause she is kinda dumb, in a good way hahahaha). I love the writing, the pace, and the characters. It's a slow burn on FL part. <<less
