I Found a Husband When I Picked up the Male Lead - Chapter 1

“Do two truly love each other and pledge to be together for the rest of your lives?”

“Yes.”

“…”

He answered without even an ounce of worry.

On the should-have-been the happiest day in the world, the bridegroom has a cold face that should not have been there on his wedding. However, there was a satisfied smile on his lips. Something only he can recognize.

Werazel*, on the other hand, was just staring at the wall blankly. She had to answer the officiant’s question, but couldn’t answer it. If I say yes, I won’t be able to take back everything.

*still considering a name change… coz Werazel???6

‘Am I really getting married?’

I can’t see this person’s thinking at all. I never dreamed I’d marry him. Of course, all of this was his choice.

“Werazel.”

Werazel trembled with astonishment at the voice breaking the quiet silence.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her.

The man, wearing a neat black dress, glowed as if the main character of the wedding was the groom.

His face seemed to be carved, like the sculptor’s life was devoted to his face. Eyes that are glistening like red diamonds, and lips that are firmly closed under a pointed nose like a well-polished arrowhead.

He was perfection itself.

Much taller than any adult man and with wide shoulders, he did not neglect his training without fail.

Thanks to that, the contours of the muscles that could not be hidden even when dressed were hard and sexy enough to ignite the hearts of many women.1

Moreover, the robe he wore was made using the finest fabrics, one and only suit in the Empire that was born at the fingertips of famous designers.

The robes were clean enough not to forgive even the smallest dust, and there were no fine wrinkles.

The tendency of the duke to pursue perfection and to keep it intact was revealed.

In addition to his robe that smells of money, the dress she wears is the same.

She can dare say the designer-made white wedding dress she was wearing was her first expensive dress in this world.

The dress made of silk was luxurious with a soft gloss, with the silver lace stitched with pearl and ruby added gorgeousness around her chest line, revealing round shoulders.

Hundreds of fine pink diamonds in a mermaid fit wedding dress that clings to her body gave a natural sparkle.

It was a luxurious robe of wealth, worthy of the royal family.

The ceremony of the two was held in the temple, and the guests were made up of only close relatives.

“…”

Lizelle looked silently at the person calling her.  A smile was pasted on his face.

“Would you like to answer me?”

He asked in a very sweet tone. Garnering all the women’s excitement and affection.

“Does the bride, Werazel Prossier, sincerely loves and vows to be with the groom, Chester Halos?”

The officiant asked once more, having hearing no answer.

A quiet voice came from the half-empty guest seats with the question.

“Lizelle?”

Her head turned towards the guest seats and a little child in a tailcoat was staring at her at the front.

Now I really cannot go back.

With the money I will be receiving, I can play and eat forever.

Just one year.  In a year, I could live without worrying about money.

“Uh… yes.”

“I will proceed with the exchange of rings filled with love for each other.”

At the end of the wedding, two people took out the rings that were in a box.

A ring with a 19-carat pink diamond was fitted in the ring finger on the left hand of Werazel. It fits like a custom shackles.

Werazel then put a simple design ring with small diamonds on Chester’s finger.

Chester had a pleased expression that only he knew alone.

“I hereby declare before Goddess Armikan that the two have come to fruition and become a couple.”

The officiant bowed his head in front of the statue of the goddess with a holy heart.

Werazel also joined hands along the Chester and bowed their heads before the goddess of the empire and patron Armikan.

But there were all sorts of anxiety in Werazel’s face.

I feel like I only realize now that I’m really married to Duke of Chase.

…

“Haaaa…”

Werazel lay on the wide bed in the room alone.

It’s been a long day. She got up early in the morning, dressed up, and finished her hectic wedding.

But that wasn’t the end. After the wedding ceremony, it took about an hour to remove all the accessories she had worn for the ceremony.

She had dozens of hairpins, so she had to endure the pain of her scalp being torn apart before she could finally be free.

The serenity in the room brought peace to her mind.

She had a hard time hearing loud noise all day long.

Tok. Tok.

A knock on the door was heard.

“Come in.”

She replied without thinking.

She had asked Tia, her maid, to prepare a warm tea earlier.

“Are you ready?”

However, the voice she heard was deep.

Tia’s voice couldn’t be like this….Surprised, Werazel rose up from bed.

Her eyes widened.

An unexpected person stood in front of her.

Werazel’s face quickly blushed to the very comfortable appearance of Chester.

“What’s with the clothes?!”

She hurriedly turned away, but her cheeks were hot because of the tight muscles that were silhouetted by his thin clothes.

“Duke, why are you here????”

“It’s time to embrace the bride.”2

The sly voice of Chester surprised Werazel.

“What are you saying?”

Hugging a bride. So it means….

“Today is the first night.”

Did he just say first night? This wasn’t in the contract?  No, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?

Werazel shook her head to see if she heard it wrong.

“Because we’re married, I have to spend the first night with you, of course. I’m ready, but do you need more time?”

However, the person speaking came in more clearly.

Werazel’s mouth was wide open as if she had been hit on the head.

“Oh no… what is this…”

Chester walked slowly towards Werazel. Step by step, the moonlight shone in the dark room, glistening his muscles.

The space between the front of the robe was sexy enough for her to swallow as the bed he approached the bed.

It seems like his body was elaborately made by the creator, and it’s appetizing.

Oh no, that’s not it. Werazel, who came to her senses late, shouted.

“Oh, don’t come!”

Watching the approaching Chester, Werezel faltered back. Then, the head of the bed touched her back without any corner to escape.

“Well, you don’t need to prepare for the first night.”

Chester, who was finally on the bed , climbed onto the body of Werazel, who cried.

“!!!!”

Werazel was surprised at the face that is nearing hers and stopped breathing.

“Don’t even think about falling asleep tonight.”

A voice filled the room with strange colors.

Chester’s hot breaths headed to the lips of Werazel, his deep red eyes darkening.
