Bala: The Duke's Contract Wife
"Looks like the rumors about your beastly look are true," said Victor. "Seeing that you even hide your face now."
Rose did not answer.
Finally, Victor sighed. "I have no intention of accepting you as my wife. Go home."
"You will let a woman be food for the beasts in the cold Maraina?" It was the first time Rose had spoken. Her voice was solid. No sign of fear. "It will only ruin your reputation more."
"No," replied Victor, "I am giving the girl the opportunity to return home safely." He spoke the last word with emphasis.
"You'll regret throwing me away, Duke." Hearing Rose's words, Victor looked back at the red eyes sharply. He thought Rose would be a spoiled annoying girl. But it was clear that she was not what he expected.
Victor raised his eyebrows, "I would regret to get rid of the girl nicknamed 'The Ugly Witch from the South'?
Rose did not flinch at the insult.
***

In exchange for Victor's protection, Rose would be his strategist. Together, they have to face various obstacles and political schemes to protect Maraina.
Rose thought that she only needs to be a strategist, but Victor also demands her obligations as... A wife.
