I Became the Fiancé of a Crazy Heroine Chapter 4

Wha What?

Hanette stamrs, taken aback.

She purposely ntioned alcohol and nightlife to provoke Sion.

But his reaction wasnt what she expected, and it made her heart beat faster.

Why are you so surprised? Isnt that what every married couple does?

W-what Couple? Were not even married yet!

Theres nothing wrong with If we are not a couple. Everyone does it in secret, and then when you have kids, you get married.

Thats thats

Hanette blushed, and fidgeted, holding the hem of her skirt.

Certainly there were cases of one-night stands between n and won before marriage.

If they enjoyed each other, that was it, but if the woman got pregnant, it would lead to so form of marriage.

It was an engagent she didnt want, but it wasnt impossible, given the conditions.

But its not good, If you marry like that, youll only end up regretting it.

Well True. You and I both would regret it.

Its not because, this marriage is against my will but I suppose its a bit unfair to be used as a tool?

Sion muttered, a bitter look in his eyes.

Resenting Fred or Robbins wouldnt change anything.

Arranged marriages were more of a custom and a way to increase power.

If you beca a noble of this world, you had to humbly accept it, whether you liked it or not.

You must have soone in mind.

No? I dont. I just dont like being used as a tool.

No? But there must be soone whos interested?

Nope. I prefer to be alone.

Sion replied with sincerity and seriousness.

In the modern world, he had encountered so many people, and he had developed feelings of distrust and hatred.

Eventually, he began to hate humans and doubted himself.

Therefore, I tried to be alone as much as possible, but in the process, I accidentally stumbled into this world.

Let ask you the other way round. Do you have a crush on soone?

? I dont have any, and its just annoying.

You drink and gamble but never et a man, Im surprised.

Sion says cheekily and grins.

He already knew about Hanette, but he pretended not to in order to keep the conversation flowing.

Drinking and gambling were her go-to ways of appearing foolish, and she wasnt going to get close to any n until she t the protagonist.

Its useless, you just keep talking to and saying boring things.

Whats interesting to your sister?

Drinking, gambling.

And whats useful?

Mmm Drinking and gambling?

Why do you live?

To drink and gamble.

Well, at least youre having fun. You look very happy.

Im enjoying myself. On the contrary, if we get married, youll be the only one unhappy.

Oh, so you want to break it off?

Id appreciate that.

Well, if youre going to do it, you should do it yourself. I dont want to lose anything.

The engagent was made by the interests of both parties.

If one party wanted to break it off, they had to have a good reason.

If one wanted to break it off for no particular reason, the other would not be happy.

Sure. You and I are in the sa situation, so what difference does it make if we fight?

Thats the first ti youve been right since we ca here.

Ive always been right.

Are you arguing with because youre always right?

Only because youre stubborn.

Ho ho And youre doing it because youre rciful?

Im pretty rciful. Im listening to you, arent I?

Hanette smiles rcifully and nods her head.

Sion lets out a mocking chuckle and calmly retorts.

Why does my sister always say what I want to say?

Cause Im three years older, so I put up with it.

If I were older, my hand would reach out first.

Why hit ? Just ignore It.

Ignore soone if theyre older, but listen to them if youre younger? What kind of thinking is that?

Whats the point of fighting with kids? you should listen to them.

You look young, but your thoughts are old. I should honour that.

Then you should honour , and I should honour you?

Alas, I am young and have no intention of mingling with an old lady.

Okay? Thats good. I dont want to mingle with a kid with hardly any hair either.

Both lifted their teacups at the sa ti, sitting straight up.

It wasnt a great first eting, but they got to know each other a little better.

Of course, Sion knew enough about Hanette to take it easy.

Shell run away at the end of the three months

In the original story, the engagent period for Sion Laird and Hanette Adelaira was set at three months.

Before the wedding, Hanette Adelaira would make a last-minute escape with the protagonist.

Sion Laird would be left alone, but the engagent would not be broken.

Its now extended it to six months, so Ill just have to wait and see.

Sion Laird was an Extra, but in this world, he was the son of a Marquis, a man of so prestige.

Though , he was an extra! He had wealth, connections, and the ability to manipulate the flow of the world if he so desired.

Of course, he didnt want to be unnecessarily intrusive, and for now, he wanted to find out why Sion Laird didnt break off their marriage.

Its probably a silly reason, but it wouldnt hurt to find out.

The coincidence was too bizarre to be true.

A wasted idiot, a fiance to a heroine, intertwined with protagonists from beyond, an engagent that lasted until the end.

He wondered why he was possessed by Sion Laird, bringing him to this world.

There must be sothing Or maybe there isnt.

Sion stares at Hanette, troubled.

She was a heroine, but she would grow into a powerhouse alongside the protagonist.

It would be a while before that day ca, and he had to prepare himself for it.

Theres only one magic sword I can get my hands on, and I need to get that before I can attempt any action.

***

Hanettes room in the Duke of Adelairas mansion.

Hanette removed her dress with the help of her maids.

She had reluctantly worn the dress because it was her engagent, but it didnt suit her.

Perhaps once she was married, she would wear only dresses until she died.

If youre done, leave.

Hanette waved her hand in the air, overco with exhaustion.

The maids bowed and quietly left the room.

I think its ti to leave.

Hanette lay down on her bed, clad only in her underwear.

She had been preparing for this for quite so ti, and she was saving up money for it.

She had no one she could trust, but sohow she managed to get by, acting alone.

She wished she had more ti, but an ergency calls for action.

Id rather fight the demons than be stuck here.

Hanette had grown up following her parents every word.

It was more like an order, and her will was always suppressed.

The stronger the pressure, the stronger the desire to escape, and the stronger the desire to be strong.

I can do this.

Hanette had been awakened to magic at an early age, and was taught how to best use it.

It took ti to learn it in secret, but eventually she was able to manifest it.

If she could join a renowned knighthood, or make a na for herself as a rcenary, she could escape her family once and for all.

I wish I knew soone.

Hanette could not move freely.

She was always accompanied by a maid in the manor, and a knight for an escort when she went out.

Even if she wanted to learn from the mages, they kept distance from her.

Even if Im gone, theyll be fine by on their own.

Hanette turned, suddenly recalling the person she had t today.

Sion Laird, the youngest son of the Marquess of Laird, her fianc and the man she was to marry.

He, too, seed dissatisfied with this engagent, and seed to have no intention of getting to know or getting close to her.

Hes all talk.

Sion Laird responded to all of her taunts with the sa attitude.

As the youngest son, she thought hed been spoilt, but he didnt hesitate to attack her, embarrassing her.

Perhaps it was the frequent attendance at social gatherings, or the experience of eting so many different people.

Well, at least hes better than those guys who try to flirt, and brag.

She was tired of n approaching her with the sa objective.

They were either looking at her looks, her family na, or just looking for a quick hook-up.

They were trying to fit in sohow, even if it ant acting like they lived on alcohol and gambling to look like a fool.

Hes good-looking thats all

Sion Laird had made such a distinctive impression on her that she couldnt help but recall his appearance.

His silvery hair shimring in the breeze. His deep violet eyes, his cold, almost spiteful aura.

Its hard to believe he hadnt been in a relationship before.

Hes not pretentious, hes laid back, doesnt get pushed around.

As her parents had hoped, Hanette t with many of the noble children and engaged in dull conversations.

It was all about greeting, trying to make friends, flattering each other, and humbly retreating.

Day after day, ntal fatigue accumulated, and the thought that I was wasting my ti never left my mind.

By comparison, I found myself relaxing with Sion Regard, who didnt hold back and said what he wanted to say.

We should have t as friends

Hanette smiles faintly, aware of the reality she is in.

They were already engaged, so it was impossible to be friends.

Theyd either get married, or theyd go their separate ways.

There were only two possible outcos.

I cant be childish. I dont want to get married yet.

I wanted to be able to choose my own partner.

Youre going to be together for the rest of your life, and youre going to have a lot of mories and love to share.

The idea of being forced to marry soone youve never t was cruel.

If were going to get married, we should at least be compatible

Hanette tilts her head and ponders.

For the first ti in her life, she felt like she wanted to be friends with soone.

That ant she liked him a little bit, and wouldnt feel uncomfortable around him.

Hes got a nice personality, hes got a nice face, hes not from a bad background

Hanette sat up straight, realising sothing.

It was a sudden thought, but it didnt feel out of place.

It seed quite plausible, given the conditions.

Can I marry him?
