I Wish For Your Despair

Anasta Winterit.

Today, she is sold to a man she has never met before.

To Rian Solter, the second son of a duke.

“I heard you’re a noble. Don’t you have any pride? Being sold for money is no different from a prostitute, isn’t it?”

Rian, made sensitive by his long illness, rejects her. But—

“You only eat grass-like food every day. It must taste terrible. Let’s live while eating good food together.”

Anasta feels sorry for him.

Soon, Rian also begins to trust Anasta.

One day, when his health starts to improve—

[I want to become a husband you won’t be ashamed of.]

Leaving only a letter, Rian joins the army, leaving her alone in a harsh winter.

Then, two years later, when he returns as a war hero—

“Did you hear? The young lord broke off his engagement with that woman two years ago and is now looking for a new fiancée!”

There was no longer a place for Anasta.
