⊠He wasnât really going to try to kill her and disguised it as an accident, right?
In the face of a life crisis, Nadia began to think hard.
It wasnât like she wasnât aware of the fact that the Winterfell family could eliminate her any time.
However she believed that this marriage was a marriage held under the Kingâs arrangement.
The whole world knew that the Marquis Winterfell didnât want to get married, but if the bride died as soon as she tied the knot, the perks of accepting this arrangement would be out of the question.
Wasnât their intention to accept this marriage to avoid criticism that the North was seeking independence?
No matter how much physical evidence of an accident was made up, the suspicion could not be avoided.
In addition to that, the disgrace of killing a powerless woman would lead to the Marquis Winterfell being criticized by public opinion.
Hence, Nadia wouldnât be killed here.
Nadia, who judged rationally, decided to continue her position that she had adhered to so far.
She pretended to be scared and shook her shoulders and opened her mouth.
âI-Itâs because I have long admired youâŠ.â
âNonsense!â
Full of rage.
Nadia could hear the sound of teeth grinding.
âDo you want me to believe such a lie?â
âIâm telling you the truth! Please believe me.â
Nadia had to cry in this situation.
She recalled her late mother to act in tears.
Soon enough, her eyelids began to tremble and her eyes became teary.
However, Glenn kept his attitude as tough as he could even when Nadia gave her best to act.
âAre you going to lie shamelessly until the end?â I guess the apple didnât fall far from the tree.â
âBoohooâŠâ
As expected, it didnât work on Glenn.
Nadia, who didnât say anything, bowed her head and began to pretend to cry.
It was quite realistic acting for someone who had never acted before.
Except that though her tears didnât flow down, she let out a sobbing voice.
Fortunately, Glennâs view from above wouldnât allow him to see that.
Therefore, it meant that it could be a pretty realistic acting in his eyes.
If he hadnât repeated dozens of times that her last name was Balazit, he might have been fooled.
Balazit, who killed his mother and sought his fatherâs life.
Thatâs why her acting was even more abominable in his eyes.
âI didnât even have to hear to know what Father would have told me about this.â
Glenn was not a fool enough to believe that the enemyâs daughter had a crush on him at first sight.
All of this was just a trick by the Duke Balazit to plant a spy in the territory of his enemy.
Wasnât it obvious that the King, the puppet of the Duke Balazit, actively promoted this marriage?
Glenn continued in a cold voice.
âHave we ever had a conversation before? Do you want me to believe that a woman would be willing to follow a man whom she has never said a word to to the North?â
âDo I need a reason to fall in love?â

âWhat a crazyâŠ..â
âI love you! Please believe in my sincerity!â
Glenn gritted his teeth and glared at Nadia, who was still shaking her shoulders pretending to be a pitiful bride.
He was very suspicious of Nadiaâs intention to walk to the side of Winterfell, yet he couldnât interrogate her as she was the Dukeâs biological daughter. He couldnât take the risk of hurting her at this moment.
Glennâs fists were shaking a little.
Glenn had to tell himself to be patient over and over again and not to act impulsively.
âWhat this vulnerable woman can do in an enemyâs territory without any allies is very limited.â
When a wife wasnât acknowledged by her husband, her range of action would be even more limited.
So if he thought about it rationally, he didnât have to throw her away right away.
It wouldnât take long to remove an unwanted wife once he dealt with the enemy.
Until the day when the rumor of the North being not loyal to the royal family and desiring to develop its own power disappeared.
Glenn clenched his jaw and said.
âFine. Weâll see how long you could keep lying that you love me.â
ââŠ..!â
Nadiaâs expression brightened up when Glenn said he would tolerate her existence right now.
But it didnât last longâŠ.
âBut I would advise you better not to dream of being recognized as my wife. I will never set my eyes on Balazitâs daughter.â
âBut, Iâm not Fatherâs spy! How could you doubt my sincerity?â
Glennâs subsequent warning forced her to cry straight away.
Nadia covered her mouth with her face buried in her palm as if she was in despair.
It was because she almost responded that she felt the same way.
âI hope you keep your word, Marquis.â
Nadia was worried about him asking for his wifeâs nightly obligation.
Therefore, she couldnât help but welcome his hate without hesitation.
Stomp, stomp.
With the sound of shoes hitting the marble floor like he was stomping on oneâs life, Glenn left.
The sound of servants rushing out to follow Glenn came to Nadiaâs ears.
She knew he left her.
Nadia pretended to be heartbroken and asked the maids with her head down.
âDid he⊠leave?â
âHeâŠâ
The maids were nervous and began to look at each other.
A maid, who was pushed by the other maid in the silent awkwardness, answered in a careful voice.
âYes, we believe so, Madam.â
Phew!
The voice in Nadiaâ heart cheered.
He better didnât take back what he said in front of a lot of people about not sleeping with her.
Wasnât it the virtue of a nobleman not to take their word back?
