“You shouldn’t have crossed this line, Elisha, if you didn’t want it to be like this.”

A sturdy arm wrapped around her swaying body. Her head grew hazy, and an unintentionally hot, sweet sigh escaped her.

‘How the hell did I end up in this situation—’

Elisha recalled. This had never happened before.

‘Yes, I remember.’

Her future—becoming a fake concubine to a demonic man from the same family and being consumed to death, even to her bone marrow. A future where the Cartier ducal family is mired in a power struggle and falls apart.

To prevent that future, Elisha threw herself at Lucerne, her former rival.

Yeah. There was no issue. She knew this man, both before and after her regression. She already knew he was the most notorious maniac in the Empire.

Twenty-year-old Elisha owes 30,000 gold coins (about 15 billion won in Korean currency or roughly 15 million USD).

After regressing in time, she aims to avoid a hellish existence due to debt by becoming the most capable illegitimate child in the world and visits Lucerne, her master’s archenemy.

“What do you want from me?”

“Please lend me some money. And… make me your subordinate. I’ll give you all the information I have.”

“Why should I trust you?”

“I’ll give myself up as collateral.”

Lucerne listened to Elisha and watched her quietly.

“Okay. But I decide how to deal with the collateral.”

“…….”

“First of all, marry me.”

“……Huh?”

Elisha didn’t expect it either—that her information exchange would turn into a marriage contract.
