I Was Given a Political Marriage

2 – The fiancee came to visit (2)

It was another world hell.

Accidental death was a new beginning, but more like a noose that pulled me to hell.

It all started when I was 5 years old.

I tried to show off my childhood, which I had never seen before in frequent competitions as a child, but the world was not easy.

A world where men and women have changed beyond fantasy.

Even my status was reversed, so I was nothing more than a tool made for engagement.

And the education that was close to abuse called groom class drove me to the limit.

I was forced to wake up at dawn every morning to exercise, and in the morning I had a simple meal with bread and tea so I wouldn’t be full.

After the meal, the tutor takes me to my room to start the day properly.

-match! match! match!

Xian gets whipped with a sieve for walking on his legs.

The number was slowly spit out from this jaw-dropping mouth.

“Eleven… twelve, yeol…three…!”

“Didn’t I tell you not to touch your heels?”

“ah.”

Hearing that his heels touched, Xian screamed inwardly and pulled up the crotch of his trousers again.

This is abuse, not education.

People were imprisoned and if they did not like them, they would be whipped or mentally harassed.

you have to be perfect

You must take care of your appearance and be chaste for your future engagement.

Forcibly imprinted learning made my life impoverished.

“Take care of your appearance. Be dignified and be courteous. You are the youngest member of the Raiheart family.”

I was raised not as a draftsman, but as a tool to be used for marriage talks.

-Fluff!

Xian suddenly got up from bed.

Cold sweat broke out all over his body and he let out a deep sigh and looked around.

“Again… is it a dream?”

The imprinted fear has haunted him through time.

Whenever I had nightmares, the pain came from my calves as if it could spread, and I always broke out in a cold sweat and had goose bumps all over my body.

Shian, who suddenly woke up early, lay down on the bed, probably trying to fall asleep again.

‘I can’t sleep.’

I couldn’t sleep anymore, either from anxiety or from nightmares.

Xian sighed once more and looked up at the ceiling for a moment.

“Why the hell… me?”

Eileen. If it were her, she would have been able to meet even better, no higher nobles, even if it wasn’t me.

But why did she choose me?

I sighed heavily and thought about it, but in the end I got nothing.

‘I’d rather go to the academy quickly.’

Right now I’m at home for a short vacation, but once the vacation is over I’ll be able to get my freedom again.

Xian recalled memories of his days at the academy.

Freedom to eat whatever you want, make friends, or talk to the opposite s*x you like.

It was the freedom he had already obtained at the academy, so the value of it was growing even greater.

‘I don’t want to get married.’

Now that I’ve tasted freedom, I don’t want to be locked up in the hell of marriage again.

Would I have been more compliant if I hadn’t tasted this kind of freedom?

But no matter how much I thought about it, nothing changed.

The engagement turned into a marriage, a fait accompli, and I would soon be taken to the Estes family.

According to tradition, until I go to the academy, I have to live in the same building as Eileen.

I share the same room with her every day, spend every morning with her, and I have to fawn to be loved by her.

It’s a disgusting and very miserable life.

‘I’ve changed a lot too.’

In the old days, I would have liked living with a pretty woman. Now, it seems that my perception has changed a little to match the world at all.

Xian quietly fell into bed and decided to let go of his future worries for a while.

a little bit. You’ll get a little bit of freedom.

“Bocchan, we have arrived.”

“Here it is…”

When Xi’an saw the mansion boasting an enormous size compared to the Laiheart family, he swallowed in a gulp as if he was frightened.

The difference in status that can only be felt now.

The thought of living in this house for a while already made my head hurt.

“…”

another angle, another angle. Servants who bowed their heads at each sound of hard shoes.

Beyond the servants, the beauty who smiles in the distance. Looking at Eileen, I thought it was really over.

“Welcome to the Estes family home. The spirit food of Laiheart.”

“…Do you speak normally?”

“Welcome. Xian.”

Eileen seemed to be happy with a smile that was hard to see normally.

The two met again and exchanged meaningful glances as they looked at each other.

Some have doubts and fears, others have sticky love and obsession.

But that gaze soon disappeared, and I entered the room where the two would live together.

“Leave all your luggage here, the servants will take care of it.”

“There is… one bed?”

He smiled bitterly at the wide king-size bed.

“You should sleep together.”

“…Do you remember the promise?”

“of course.”

Until I graduate from the academy, I won’t be able to progress any further than I want.

Xian thought about the contract again, put his luggage on top, and put himself on the bed.

“It’s comfortable.”

“Because I prepared it as soft as possible.”

“Why, it’s me.”

“huh?”

She looked down with sweat on her brow, perhaps surprised by the sudden question.

Seeing him lying on the bed, Eileen seemed to feel lust.

“There are a lot of young children in other families. Why am I, who has nothing?”

Xian couldn’t understand at all. This situation, as well as this woman who promotes marriage by saying that she likes her.

That’s why I asked. why were you yourself?

At that question, Eileen quietly approached him without saying anything and laid down next to him, showing a seductive smile.

“just.”

“Just? Is that a lie?”

I couldn’t believe Eileen’s words, who were always calculating.

But as if he wasn’t going to take any more questions, Eileen’s index finger blocked his mouth.

“I don’t need a reason, what matters is that you’re mine now.”

dump.

Lying next to her, he forcibly pulled her and put her in his arms.

“Eh, let go of this. You have to go outside.”

“…Just stay like this.”

“…”

If the two men and women were in the room for a long time, they would be suspicious.

It’s not a good situation when bad rumors are already spreading, no matter how much you decide to marry someone.

Even so, she hugged me as if it didn’t matter, and muttered.

“It’s mine. It’s mine. It’s mine that no one else can have.”

‘It gives me goosebumps.’

Her cold appearance was rather frightening.

Aileen whispered that it was hers with an expressionless face.

Seeing that, Xian became a little nervous and began to feel that something was wrong.

‘What’s wrong with this woman? Are you crazy?’

Of course, there has been no direct damage yet. But every time I heard the increasingly tight arms and gasping breaths, I could only tremble.

Xian was buried quietly, trembling with fear.

smart!

“Lady! The head of the family said let’s eat together…”

Eileen frowns as if she is in a bad mood at the appearance of a servant who breaks the mood.

But even if I get angry, I know that it is forced, so I move to my seat first and take care of my clothes.

“let’s go.”

“…yes.”

Xian, who had been confident until just now, suddenly couldn’t meet his eyes.

The appearance I just showed was not a normal person’s appearance, so I was trying to avoid being dirty.

The two of them leave their luggage with a servant and go to the restaurant.

The current head of the Estes family and her sisters, who were waiting first, were glaring at Eileen.

“Didn’t you hear about mealtime? Even if guests come, we have to be on time.”

“I’m late whispering love to my fiancé… no, my husband-to-be.”

A woman watching from the side burst out laughing, as if it was an unsuitable joke.

“Puhahahaha! Are you in love? You have to lie to the fullest… Ah, you’re Laiheart Youngsik? Nice to meet you.”

chuck. A blonde woman like Eileen slyly reached out to me.

Seeing that figure, Xian reflexively reached out his hand.

Before their hands could touch, someone came up to him, threw them away, and blocked his way.

“Ah… what are you doing?”

“I have a line to protect as a younger brother. Don’t touch my husband’s body.”

“Tch, something trivial…”

Mealtime, which should have been harmonious, has become a battle of nerves with only looking out for each other.

As a customer, he was naturally sitting in his seat crouching down with a smile on his face.

“Well, that’s not important, do you know roughly who each other is?”

“There’s no way I don’t know. Wouldn’t it be more strange not to know when Aileen reacts like this?”

“Ha, let’s just have a quiet meal.”

Unlike the nervous younger sister, the householder wanted to end the situation quickly.

Eventually, after a brief greeting to each other, we started eating.

As expected, the meal of the marquis family was different from the chef, and it was a dish that pleased the palate.

Even so, he was dragged to a different area, not his home, and he dropped his hands as if he was uneasy about something.

“Did you say you lived here before the academy?”

“Yes… Lady Estes.”

“Hey, it’s confusing when you call me that? Feel free to call me Aira.”

“Yes. Aira-sama.”

Satisfied with his answer, Ira smiled and cut the meat.

However, one person who was uncomfortable even with that appearance was drinking next to him and choking his heart as he quenched his burning stomach.

Aileen empties her glass faster than anyone else and absorbs alcohol.

The more the bottles were emptied, the more her face turned red, and it seemed difficult to hide her emotions.

-widely!

He kicked off the table and got up.

“Sian, wake up.”

“I haven’t eaten yet…”

“I’m dizzy, so let’s go to the room together. I’ll ask the servants to serve dessert later.”

I dragged them away without even listening to the answer, and the people left behind only watched the situation.

I wonder if he was surprised to show his emotions after a long time. Or did I just find it exciting?

Whatever it was, it was an evening that only pityed Xian, who was dragged away.
