Not wanting to let him go, Isabel declared that Evan had been rude to her and needed to be apologized with a kiss…

“Are you done?… I’m ready.”
“Ready for an apology?”
“…Yes”

Isabel answered shyly. She gracefully tilted her head, causing her waist-length, wispy blonde hair to fall forward and cover her immaculate chest.

Evan frowned. He rose from his seat and moved toward her.

“Wh-what? What are you doing?”

As he finally sat down next to her, Isabel became nervous. It was her first time being this close to a man.

“Quiet, I’m going to apologize.”

Isabel then squeezed her eyes shut, anticipating a passionate apology. Her innocent heart fluttered at the thought of being kissed by her longtime crush. <<less

I was the last demon king, the strongest and greatest creature in the demon world.... more>>

I'm the best.

...I mean, until I die after being betrayed and killed by the humans who served me.

"When you're born again, you'll have to do good things. If you don't want to live a worse life than a small creature."

To break the curse I received before I die, I must do good deeds!

The goal is to regain money, power, and fame, and live a life that takes a lot of benefits. 

Even if the body that entered at the best was a human kid, the ugly duckling of the family. 

This genius and cuteness! And there is nothing that can't be solved with this beauty(?)

In order to grow into such a great Demon King, I work hard every day—.

"I don't fall for cute things. No matter how much you wear a lace dress and tilt your head with cookies in both hands."

"...you were hiding your true skills. A clever thing."

"Hey, you! They said you brought another boy! Do you think he can be your new brother?!" 

"Oh, for your information, even just now, my soul and body were almost separated by the shock because the Lady was cute. It's inevitable because you're very cute." 

"You know. You're the only one for me, Esther."

There's something wrong with the people around me.

No, there's really something strange about it. <<less

There was only one thing I could give to save my family. "I'll give myself.”

"What are you doing, without lying down?" It was the beginning of the entrapment that I could not escape. <<less

Someone, tell me I'm lying!... more>>

This is not right. Why is he here?

'I don't remember. Yeah. It's been over a month now, and I'm not the same person I was then. We were both drunk, and we didn't even know each other's names.
Sweat trickled down Ha-Eun's back at the reunion of her one-night stand.

"I will take responsibility."

"How?"

"Is my title not enough?"

Buying time until the real Anastasia appears. That was the “deal” between the duke and her.

"You said you'd let me go when we’re done. What if you really like me?"

"Nevertheless, I will not do anything against your will."

"What? The Erelheim estate with the title of Grand Count is up for bid?!"

Evelyn is determined, 'I will take it. I'll take it... even if it kills me!'

"Then the solution is simple. I will hire a physically fit, unmarried man who meets the above conditions to be my contract husband!"

Could the most despised person in the Empire be able to hire such a husband? Of course not. So I'm offering you the highest salary in the industry, and I'll give you the most generous benefits ever. Once I win the bid, I will grant you a clean divorce and make sure you get your alimony!

At this rate, one or two talented people will apply, right? Our company welcomes talented people with open arms!

But Evelyn was mistaken.
...there are too many applicants. <<less

But the Tower Magician picked up an unknown man?

I was happy to see a new comrade, and I chased Claude around and teased him so badly…

“That’s amazing. It’s rare for someone to recognize me. They die before they can even recognize me.”

“…… Yes?”

“I killed them all.”

That cute Claude is Ethan Clovis, the mad dog?!

I thought I was going to die like this, but he spared me temporarily and made me sign a contract.

I thought I had run away from a mad dog, but instead, I had walked into the hands of a wild beast.

My fourth regression.... more>>

To survive, I had to become independent.

For my goal, I picked up a man who was woefully annihilated and about to die.

I wanted to become an "extraterritorial territory" in a world full of villains.

I wanted extraterritoriality rights so power, money, honor, and even the law couldn't reach me.

That's where I wanted to stand.

"What exactly are you?"

"I don't know—your fate, maybe?"

"What?"

"Miraculously appearing and saving you just before death, isn't that fate?"

Ahaak Osvold, the tyrant who would rule with cruelty, proposed an unexpected contract.

"I want to make a friendship contract with you."

'Why would you want to be friends with me?' …It's what I thought, but in all honesty, I needed him to gain my "autonomous region."

"Don't regret it later."

Then, I'll raise you as an emperor.

 

━━━━ ∙ʚ(✧)ɞ∙ ━━━━

 

But it seems I raised him too well?

Amid the imperial succession competition, Ahaak kissed my hair and said,

"Tia, what are you looking at?"

"I mean, tonight… I'll be waiting for you in my chambers, Tia."

"Since I'm the only friend in your life, it's enough."

…Wait.

It didn't say anywhere that the friends contract with the tyrant would be exclusive, right? <<less

“You have to pay the price of raising you. Do you really want to see your mother living in such poverty?”... more>>

Cecile, who was wearing a gorgeous dress and expensive jewels, said gloomily.

That would all be the price of selling Elena.

The only mother sold Elena to collect money, and the only younger sister was terminally ill and had limited time.

Elena had only one choice.

‘You are welcome to come visit me if needed.’

It was none other than to pry open the gap to the door of the unfamiliar man's room. <<less

In order to escape the game, she decided to die as quickly and painlessly as possible. So she lived quietly...

"Do you think you'd be able to find a house to marry as a war orphan? No one would want to marry someone as lowly as you."

The young master of the Prime Minister's Household who looked at me like a bug just to save his younger sibling.

"You appear to be the youngest daughter of his Excellency. I will take responsibility for you."

The prince who should be marrying the real young lady of the house.

"Is it true that you ate the liver of a cow? That's not something a person like you should be eating! Please promise me that you would not do something like that ever again."

Even the neighboring country's aristocrat started to follow me about.

She was living as silently as a mouse, who's dead as a doornail, so she could see the ending, but everything keeps getting twisted.
Even the Prime Minister's real young lady has started to act weirdly...

"Yeonhee, I like you so much. Because I don't think you'll ever betray me."

No, I tell you, I just want to live quietly and die?! <<less

I wanted to live like the protagonist in a parenting novel.... more>>

But the reality of a wacky romance world has even patched my family with K-patches.

"I thought I was reborn into a parenting story, but it turned out to be a flop..."

Those darned flop parenting story families.

They're trying to send me to a 40-year-old single father. As if I, who succeeded with my romance novel knowledge, would fall for that?

"Oh, forget about those flop families! Don't they know I won't be pushed around anymore?"

Armed with a secret weapon, I went to the duke who the flop family sees as their enemy.

"Oh heroines of contract marriage novels, lend me your strength!"

Using my experience as a romance novel reader, I proposed a contract marriage, and thankfully, it was well received... Wait, they're being a little too accommodating? Is this the green light?

---

A dry gaze, as if looking at something worthless.

Surely, what was reflected in the duke's crimson eyes was all there was.

"I can't take my eyes off you."

The corners of his mouth rose in a smile that had never been drawn before.

"My bride, will you give me your hand now?" <<less

Despite the gentle tone, my legs couldn't move as if I was caught in a trap, so I couldn't run away any further.
