I'm Going to Change my Husband with a Predatory Marriage

Ludwig’s knights, who belatedly came to their senses, shouted in astonishment. They all had an earthy complexion.

 

“Oh, what a shame!”

 

“What if His Majesty the Grand Duke knows about this?”

 

“How can you be like this when you think of your cousin, His Highness Ludwig!”

 

Meanwhile, only one knight was angry for the bride, Hylia.

 

“How can you insult our precious Lady like this!”

 

Shhrr!

 

Without hesitation, he pulled out the sword and blocked Hylia’s path. Those who were most surprised by Lord Beltane’s sudden advance were neither the surrounding knights nor the threatened prince. It was Hylia herself.

 

‘No! I must be marauded today, Beltane!’

 

If things continue like this, Hylia’s gamble with her life will be interrupted by a loyal knight.

 

* * *

 

The moment Hylia realized that the Crown Prince had blocked her bridal procession, she erupted in joy.

 

‘Oh yea! I’ll live!’

 

And while she was cheering on the crown prince’s evil actions, she got tired of it and ran out.

 

‘It would be easier to kidnap me this way!’

 

“If this continues, I think I’ll be late for the wedding. Please get out of the way.”

 

This request was included in the request.

 

‘Hurry! Hurry! Faster than the wind! I am ready to be plundered!’

 

Only Arpad could fully understand this. He chuckled.

 

‘No matter how you look at her, she is an amazing woman.’

 

The most surprising thing was that this feeling was not that unpleasant. Actually, if you think about it from the beginning, it was strange.

 

“Please plunder me!”

 

Didn’t the woman who made such an absurd threat be sent back alive in the end? In fact, the moment he let this woman live, he may have already lost the tug-of-war. What he didn’t understand was the feeling that he wasn’t upset even though he lost.

 

‘For whatever reason, it seems necessary to keep it nearby and observe it.’

 

In fact, even this felt like an excuse to accept the ridiculous threat. There was no other way. The moment he thought, ‘I should give it a try,’ that was the end of it.

 

Arpad was quite merciful because he was quite excited. This meant that he did not dare to draw his sword and kill the knight who stood in front of him with one sword.

 

“Wow!”

 

Kang!

 

The knight dropped his sword and cut her arm deeply.

 

Hylia screamed.

 

“Lord Beltane!!”

 

She was worried about this knight. Sincerely to be exact.

 

‘What?’

 

The excitement, which had been strangely heightened, cooled down in an instant. Arpad realized. He realized that he had suddenly become displeased with just one look on that woman’s face. Hylia appealed, blocking her knight’s path.

 

“Please have mercy, your highness!”

 

It was clearly an act when she pretended to be a poor and virtuous bride just a moment ago. 

But the worry in her eyes for that knight was not an acting.

 

‘I’m just sincere.’

 

Arpad was a little embarrassed. His stomach was twisted. But he still couldn’t figure out why.

 

* * *

 

Arpad suddenly revealed his twisted judgment in his tone of voice.

 

“I guess he’s a knight who treats you as a lady, right?”

 

“Yes. So, the knight’s sin is naturally my sin as the master. Please blame me.”

 

Arpad’s mood, which was already more twisted than a twisted twist from Hylia’s affirmation, became even more complicated. Beltane, pressing his wounds, shouted resolutely as he tried to block his master’s path.

 

“No! Holding a sword was entirely my intention. The princess did nothing wrong!”

 

Even in the face of the prince’s bloody anger, Beltane still did not waver.

 

“And first of all, you are the one who brought shame to my master!”

 

An extremely gentle smile appeared on Arpad’s lips. Those who had heard even a little about this crown prince would have known. When Arpad was smiling like this more than when he was angry… That it was several times more dangerous.

 

* * *

 

‘Ahh! Stop! Stop!’

 

She knew well that Lord Beltane was a model of chivalry. But she didn’t know that he would be unnecessarily upright even in front of the crazy prince. Just as she was trying to stop Lord Beltane from making a sudden advance, the crown prince struck the bow.

 

“Can you keep what you said a moment ago, Princess Delphine?”

 

“Yes? What do you mean?”

 

‘I didn’t know what I was talking about because I talked quite a bit earlier.’

 

One end of the crown prince’s beautiful mouth was curved sharply. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy.

 

‘Surely, just because you’re angry doesn’t mean you’re going to commit a predatory attack, right?’

 

Then it would be ruined. But Arpad’s words were unexpected.

 

“You, the master, will pay for the knight’s sins yourself.”

 

Oh, that one? But why? He was smiling as if he had caught her weakness. The bloody smell hit her. It’s probably not an illusion. Lord Beltane and the unknown squire have already seen blood. But he didn’t back down at all.

 

‘If you show your back to a wild beast, you will be attacked. It felt like that.’

 

“Yes. It is the master’s duty to take responsibility for the knight.”

 

Of course, this was said because it was Lord Beltane. Because he was a very rare person who had never betrayed her in her past life. And in his previous life, he was killed because of her… He died a terrible death; just thinking about it again was…

 

‘I will never make it happen this time.’

 

At her answer, a strangely clean and fresh smile appeared on Arpad’s lips. It was different from the dangerous and bloody smile from before. Was it because he had his back against the dazzling sunlight? He seemed like a strangely innocent boy. Was that why? For a moment she was mesmerized by the smile that seemed so out of character for Arpad.

 

The moment she came to her senses belatedly, the man’s face was right in front of her nose. One of his arms immediately wrapped around her waist and lifted her up.

 

“Ah!”

 

Her vision was so dizzy that the sky and the ground seemed to blend together and appear gray. And when she came to her senses, she was already on the horse, in Arpad’s arms.

 

‘Uh? This?’

 

The shocked gaze of the people turned towards them. Arpad’s whisper tickled her ear.

 

“Obviously you said it with your own mouth. You will do anything. This is a separate issue from your threats.”

 

Goosebumps rose up her back. She slightly turned her head and made eye contact with him. 

Then she lowered her voice and asked.

 

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Have you forgotten my request?”

 

“This and that are separate.”

 

“Considering what you did, Lord Beltane responded with common sense!”

 

“Even so, pulling out a sword in front of the crown prince is clearly treason.”

 

It was impossible to defeat Arpad in an argument. He was like a human version of the saying, ‘I can’t communicate, so I’m not confident I can win.’

 

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have told Lord Beltane not to come forward.’

 

However, considering Lord Beltane’s coquettishness, there was no way he would tolerate a predatory marriage just because of her words. However, she could never tell him about regression.

 

‘No matter how much I thought about it, I had no choice. I must also protect Lord Beltane.’

 

Arpad looked at her complicated expression and suddenly asked.

 

“You seem really worried about him?”

 

“…Because it’s my knight.”

 

‘I want to save him.’

 

He added as if reading her thoughts.

 

“It seems like he trusts and cares for you quite a bit.”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“Well, looking at the situation a little while ago, it seemed like the knight is the only one who can be called a knight to you.”

 

“Ugh.”

 

Arpad openly poked her sore spot. After her father passed away, she was in charge of the family for three years, and she had only one person to call her knight.

 

‘This is clearly my incompetence.’

 

She was overly naive and didn’t know the world. She just trusted Ludwig and left everything to him.

 

‘That will never happen again!’

 

After gathering her thoughts that had wandered for a moment, she realized something.

 

‘What, why does this person’s expression look like this?’

 

Even though she had obediently told him about one of my weaknesses, Arpad’s expression was subtle.

 

‘No wonder… You look a little upset, don’t you think?’

 

But was there a reason for that? While she was puzzled, Arpad’s strange expression soon disappeared. All that remained on his unluckily handsome face was an evil smile.

 

“Remember this. For this you owe me a debt. As much as that knight’s life.”
