In the carriage, Sarah Yucela was sighing heavily.
An unwilling marriage, since she was bound to the other party like this she canât help but feel depressed.
Despite them being nobles, Sarah house is poor.
They have no problem with food but all their business and investment that her father started who is the lord have started to fail.
At first, a lot of money was used to build a bridge but then it was swept up when the river suddenly flooded then when a pioneering village was made, there was theft occurring and the village didnât go well.
Though it seems that the bandits were subdued and the gold that was recovered will be a ceremonial milestone, the soldiers lost it due to mischief.
This kind of thing happens several more time.
Her father was not incompetent.
He is only 42 years old this year.
His predecessor died early and at age 26 he had successfully succeeded the peerage and he did well.
But suddenly after five years, everything was falling to ruins.
Owning debt to various people, nevertheless he manages to support his family and the territory but this year there was a bad harvest.
The balance that the Yucela house had somehow managed to maintain failed all at once.
The bad harvest not only affects the Yucela house but also the house where he borrowed money from.
With the house feeling strained, they urge them to repay the mountain of debt.
They would return it if they could.
But at last, they were driven to the point that they had to sell off the mansion.
But then a voice said they could take over the debt for no cost.
The other party was a viscount.
7-8 years ago in their territory, a silver mine was found and they quickly rose to power.
Of course, the head of the Yucela house jump at this opportunity.
However, he was not so generous as to take the debt free of charge.
There was something he wanted.
As expected the head of the Bargan family came to explain.
âIt would be a loss for the kingdom if an old house like your disappears. That why I am going to take over your debt. However, there was no relation between my house and your so far. Nevertheless, if I do help you there may be some people that would mindlessly stick their head in to obstruct us and my parent may also look down on it. So how about having your daughter marry me? With that our house will be related and no one can interfereâ
That is certainly something reasonable.
Depending on how you hear it, it a beautiful story about saving them by getting married.
There also the possibility that he doing it out of his own good will.
But you wouldnât guess that when you know that the head of the Bargan family has 14 wives.
The head of the Yucela house thought.
Whether to save the house and it citizen by selling his daughter.
Someday his daughter will leave the house but if she is married to a house with money at least that would solve some problem.
âHaaaâ
Sarah sighed greatly once more.
She knows that she was sold.
But she could understand her family and especially her younger sister would be able to live a life without inconvenience.
Although she could understand it, she didnât agree to it.
Sarah had a person that she likes.
At school, they were always together.
When they had to part, she shed tears.
After all, even then she couldnât convey her feelings.
As the carriage arrives at the Bargan house, Sarah got off while feeling unpleasant.
An old man who seems to be the house butler stand in front of the door and call out to her.
âWe have been waiting for you. Madam Sarahâ
The butler and maid move to the side to make way for welcoming Sarah.
As Sarah walked up to the front door, standing at the entrance a huge shadow was waiting for her.
âNice to meet you, my husband. My name is Sarah. Although I am a stupid girl, please treat me well foreverâ
âOhh! I am Dale. You donât have to be so troubled. From today onward you are my wife and this is your home. Please relaxâ
Sarah had heard that his appearance was exactly like an Orc but after seeing him she certainly thought the same.
However, his face was gentle and she understands that he welcome her from the bottom of his heart.
Sarah convinces herself that his mind was not as ugly as she thought of him to be and was relieved for the moment.
(It might be better than I thought. Since I heard that he had 14 wives I thought that he would be somewhat vulgar)
âYou seem to be tired from that long carriage ride. Please take a hot bath and wipe away your sweat. After that, I will guide you around the mansionâ
On that thought, she turns around.
She glad that the person himself seem gentle and wasnât pretending and not as lustful, unexpectedly it may not be a bad engagement.
As the dark feeling that been plaguing Sarah faded, she headed for the bathroom in a good mood.
With her husband and servant looking at Sarah figure leaving.
âShe is truly a beautiful girl. It took me a long time to bribe that bridge architect and also the mercenary and that thief but I finally got it. Those daughters from before are already useless. Sebastian, for tonight dinner, put lots of aphrodisiacs. Also, do not forget about the incense in the bedroomâ
The butler from some time ago respond to Dale.
âAs you willâ
In response, his voice was devoid of any emotion of the heart.
âLord-sama! When you get bored will we get our turn?â
The knight who was surrounding Dale raises their expectant voices.
âOf course. As I always have so farâ
Behind his line of sight are the servantâs girls.
Every one of them is in good shape but their eye are all dead like dolls and they do not move as their eyes are lowered.
âEven if I embrace them it is no longer fun anymore. Even if you do it they donât raise any voiceâ
The knight kick one of the belly of the girl who did not move.
The petite girl got blown off to the wall and spat out the content of her stomach as she sobs painfully.
âYou are fine, clean it up properly afterward!â
ââŠâŠ. yesâŠâŠ iiâŠâŠâ
The daughter that manage to squeeze out a reply had not a single light that hint of rebellion in it and remained as muddy as ever.
