Chapter 1.

The day she signed the papers, it felt like a huge rock dropped to her back. Historia looked towards Lant and his wives, they all looked eager to have her in the family now.

Historia gulped as she looked at her belly. She was officially one of Lant's wives, and the only way to get out was to die. She smiled lightly, tilting her head as she looked at the crowd that developed.

"My..." Historia murmured, "My name is now Historia Agriche"

Everyone beneath her clapped and screamed in cheer.

It seemed everyone was happy to have her as another wife of Lant.

She couldn't help but feel uneasy and put her hand on her belly.

Historia walked away quietly, sitting in a room quietly. She was immeresed in her thoughts, not noticing a figure in the distance.

She looked up, her body tensed when she recognized the silver hair.

"R...Roussel...." She spoke his name quietly.

"Quiet, you skank," he spat at her.

She flinched slightly, not daring to look at him in the eyes.

"You...you married him?! Are you insane? He is a rival to our clan and you dare marry him and have his child?"

She looked at him with fear, "P..please, please hear me out...brother."

He sighed, shaking his head, "If you stay and have his baby, who knows what will happen. Whatever happens after that baby is born, is on you, Agriche" He spat the name with venom.

He walked out, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Historia closed her eyes for a second before opening them up and meeting red eyes.

"Ah"

He looked at her in the eyes, trying to figure out what she was thinking.

This reminded her of their first encounter back when they were much much younger.

5 years ago....

Historia fell to the floor after rushing away quickly and bumping into someone.

"Ah" She rubbed her head in pain.

She looked up to see who she bumped into with and gasped, meeting red eyes that studied her.

She gasped once she recognized whose eyes those were, pulling her cloak over her face and tried to hide herself.

"Ah, i-im so sorry, sire...." She was quick to pull herself up, and turned away.

Her wrist was caught by his hand and she turned back to look at him. He leaned closer as he held her wrist, whispering in her ear, "Pedilian...arent you?"

Her eyes widened in shock, her nerves going uneasy until she noticed the silver strand of hair that managed to get out.

'Y..yes..." She whispered.

He smirked at her demeaner, "Meet me at the alley..." He nibbled her ear softly.

She blushed, turning her head to look at him, her cloak already almost falling off.

"You-!" Her lips trembled.

He walked away from her, chuckling as he left.

She sighed and smacked her cheecks. 'You dare to acquaintent yourself with your brother's rival?! Historia, your insane!'

She sighed before walking away, forgetting about meeting in the alley.

When she arrived home, she didnt expect the same man she met earlier to pop up into her house.

She dropped what she was holding and gasped in shock.

"You..how? Why?"

"You never went to the alley"

She gulped, "Ah...yes i forgot...."

He folded his arms around his chest, standing up. "Your name"

She looked at him puzzled, "My name? Oh, my name." She realized,"Um, Historia....."

He waited for her to keep going, "Pedelian"

"Y..yes..." She whispered.

It's strange, she thought. What's the clan leader of Agriche doing in her home?

"Wha..what are you doing..here?" She questioned.

"You," he stared into her eyes, the only word he said.

"Don't you already have 3 wives waiting for you at your home? Don't waste your time with an illegitimate child of your rival's clan."

He chuckled, "You interest me woman."

She couldn't believe his words and she pouted.

"Your a scary man, Duke," she closed her eyes and turned around.

He grabbed her wrist, turning her whole body back to his. His harsh hands pulled her body closer to his. Historia couldn't do anything but feel captivated by his eyes.

"Your eyes suit my-no our future children," he spoke, rubbing her cheek with his other hand.

She blushed, unable to say a word.

He leaned in for a kiss, and he led her through the evening.
