“You’re the daughter of a bastard.”
Elsie Lesles is the only child of Count Lesles, a notorious villain infamous for usury, human trafficking, kidnapping, and recruiting child soldiers.
Even though she is now Elsie Gray, it seems there isn’t a single person in the country who likes her. Not even Kaiden Gray, the man she has loved since childhood and the hero of the civil revolution who is now her husband.
So she made up her mind. She would let go of all the happy memories of the past, along with her love for him.
“Let’s get a divorce.”
After all, a wife from a fallen noble family is nothing but a burden to a revolutionary hero.
“That’s not even worth listening to.”
But if he doesn’t love her, why won’t he let her go?
The New Midland Republic was founded by the citizens after the nobles were driven out. Everyone believed that an era of equality and happiness had finally arrived…
However, a new war begins, fueled by calls for the restoration of the monarchy and the revival of the class system.
As war engulfs the country, Elsie uncovers the truth about the past and grows stronger, while Kaiden, burdened by belated regret, risks everything to save her.
Can the two overcome their long-standing misunderstandings and painful wounds to find happiness together once again?
