Marriage Contract with Two Husbands

f you to keep on engaging with me and someone I don’t even know.”

“Is this a coincidence?”

“If you think you’ve remembered something by mistake you must be right.”

When she picked at his uncertain memory, Melchor’s expression sank coldly.

“…is that so?”

The expression hadn’t changed too much, but the blue-green light in his eyes froze quickly, and Roseline could tell his feelings.
His face was closer to resignation than disappointment. So he remembered that person through me.

The woman looked like Roseline; the one Melchor was searching for, probably his first love.

Well.
Since he decided to marry me for the reason that we look alike, if we discover something in common it’ll be enough to amaze him.

It could be that the two women’s figures had overlapped in Melchor’s memory because of their similar swordsmanship.
She was convinced but somehow didn’t feel good about it.

Roseline had been caught by Melchor, but his shoulder was injured and he had missed her sword, so she was the winner of the sparring. Was it pointless to say let’s spar? She wondered.

Despite the success of giving him a blow as she had hoped, she felt somehow uncomfortable.
Roseline swept back her disheveled hair and called out to Nicholas who was still standing bewildered.

“Nicholas.
Melchor is hurt.”

“…huh? Huh?”

“Call Damian in here.
He needs to treat Melchor.”

“Oh, yes! I will go get him!”

Roseline turned to Melchor standing absently.
His shoulder had been cut, but since it was not a deep one; he would recover quickly after treatment and a few days’ rest.

“Melchor.
I am going to go up first.
Please get the treatment when Damian comes.”

It seemed that there would be a commotion if she ran into someone else, so she circled to go back to the rose-filled backyard.

Roseline let out a sigh.
Where in the world had things gone wrong? The puzzle seemed to be distorted because the piece that did not fit had been forced to.
The piece of life.

My family suddenly collapsed, and I was brought in and locked up… And when I came to, I had already gotten married.
But the reason he saved me is because of some woman I don’t even know who looks like me.

Rather she would feel better waking up one day to find herself in a different world, or married to a stranger years later.
It was more than rolling her life in the disharmony of a cogwheel like this.

Disharmony?

Suddenly turning her head, she heard the sound of tree leaves shaking in the wind.
Trees with leaves thick enough to cover the sky were surrounding her.

“Hey… Where is this place?”
