“Please, become Atalante Bianque.”
Receiving a marriage proposal from the very man she had tried to kill— there were no words to describe how utterly absurd it was.
Ignoring her adoptive father’s dying wish to be a good child, Atalante became the boss of an underground organization.
Then, she received a request from the emperor himself— assassinate the tyrant, Grand Duke Lionel Bianque.
Of course, the offer came with an enticing reward.
“Just this one last job, and I can wash my hands of this world for good.”
She planned to retire from villainy after the duke’s assassination and live peacefully with her subordinates.
But things took an unexpected turn.
“What… What is your name?”
The grand duke, instead of collapsing in death, stared at her with flushed cheeks.
His eyes— they looked dangerously close to being in love.
A love potion—what a ridiculous thing.
And because of it, Atalante ended up stealing the heart she was supposed to stop.
Forced into the position of Grand Duchess, she made up her mind.
If things had come to this, she would act like a true villain—take what she could, then divorce him.
But…
“I have no intention of letting my woman go.”
“…What?”
“In this entire world, my only person is you, my wife.”
…It seems that achieving her goal might be a bit more difficult than expected.
