Ari stares at the boy's face. So pretty~

Though she remembers who this person is, she doesn't feel bad toward him like before.

It must be because she remembers her past life. She remembers dying at her home on Planet Earth. She died because of her laptop. After dying, she was reincarnated to this strange world. For 19 years, she lived a pampered life of a silly girl. She had a family who loved her a lot. She was always sickly. They took care of her as if she was made of glass. Then, the war happened. This boy was the reason behind her family's death.

And Tristan.

He was handsome. But even she knows now that she didn't love him. She liked his face more.

The first time... Remembering it makes her grimace. The boy took advantage of her idiotic mind. How could he make it so painful? She didn't even know that she didn't like him. Damn! It's still too bad that he died such a way. That boy loved her genuinely.

She feels bad, but that night makes her frown again. The hell! He didn't even kiss her properly. There was no foreplay. He just shoved it inside her. What the hell!!!

How could her first time so horrible? He also died on the wedding night.

It looks like 19 years of her fairytale-like life was destroyed in a few days.

Ari, the one with maturity and wisdom of a 26 years old woman from Earth, is a great worshipper of beauty. She has a thing for cute or handsome men. Tristan was handsome, but this boy is many thousand times better than Tristan. But he's young. She's 26 and he's 20 at most. This is not legal in her world.

But her body is 19 years old.

She remembers how he had treated her after killing Tristan.

She wants to blame him for killing his family. Logically speaking, wasn't King of Country A more to be blamed?

That stupid king knew that he couldn't win against this dark magician prince of Country Z. But he still sent everyone to get slaughtered by this person. Wasn't it better to surrender first? He relied heavily on his son who came a bit too late. Though he married her first to protect her, she has bitter feelings toward him because of that night.

Ari huffs. The bad luck from previous life has followed her to this life. This kid wants her as his wife. Not happening. She might be 19, but she likes older men.

Meanwhile, Adira has sensed that she's awake. But he doesn't dare to open his eyes. He wonders if she remembers everything or not. Her soul is healed. She should remember him.

But she hasn't reacted.

When she tries to move away from him, he pulls her closer and meets her calm eyes.

Ari doesn't look like Kresi. She has no golden eyes or pale skin. She's not as beautiful as a Mirin, but this Ari is charming. She's beautiful in a different way, more likely to entice men to take her to bed without a second thought.

Even the emperor who has come to see her during Adira's absence had the thoughts of taking her as his concubine, but the thought of Adira slicing his flesh layer by layer stopped him before he committed such a mistake.

Adira isn't falling for the charms that the gods have put on her. He loves her heart and soul the most. If she was reborn without these looks that could entrap any man's heart, he would love her anyway. She's his Ari. His harbinger. His wife. His only love and everything.

"Do you remember me?" He asks, breaking the silence.

"I remember you." She gives him a small smile. "Prince Adira, how long have I been asleep?"

Prince Adira... she's calling him that. She's different, but she doesn't remember. He smiles at her sadly. "It's only been 45 days."

"Only 45 days?" The corner of her lips twitch. "That's more than a month!"

"You made me wait for a while, but it's okay." He cups her face and eyes her with bottomless love in his eyes, making her heart palpitate abnormally. "I am relieved that you are awake. You are alive."

He takes her in his warm embrace.

Why is her heart acting weird? The boy is 18. At least, Tristan was 20. That's still legal. She didn't have her past life's memories.

She pushes him away, blushing. "Listen, you, boy! I remember what you did in the pool. You can't do that to me again."

After he becomes an adult, she will give it a thought. She's not into young boys. It's absolutely not her thing.

Adira sees the redness on her face. He smirks and teases her. "Why can't I?"

"Because..." Is not she a hostage? He literally took her as his wife. They aren't legally married yet. At the age of 19, she's already someone's widow. Is she pregnant? "Hey, do you have... "

"Have what?" Adira looks at her expectantly, waiting.

She can't ask him for pregnancy kit.

But pregnancy kits don't even exist in this world.

"Is there a doctor?" She asks quietly. She's been asleep for 45 days. She can't tell if she's pregnant or not. That's her biggest worry. If she's pregnant, the father is Tristan. Having her own child...

The prince of the enemy nation is sitting beside her.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Adira takes her wrist anxiously. The pulse is fine. "Tell me if you feel pain somewhere."

"I..." She knows what he did. "Can you tell my physical state's just by reading my pulse?"

"Yes." He checks the state of her soul. All fine.

Is it normal for princes to study medicine? Then, Tristan could also do things like this. She decides to ask straightforwardly, "Am I pregnant?"

Adira stares at her for a long time before he answers, "I didn't do my husband's bed duties. How can you get pregnant? It's better not to have children in this world. After we go back to Iravan, I will fulfill your wishes. How many do you want?"

Making her immortal is easy after they go back to their world.

She gapes at him. This boy's strange. Where's Iravan? Is it country I?

Her voice is quiet when she asks again. "Am I pregnant with Tristan's child?"

His expression turns black. He recalls now. That night. That Tristan! He remembers the blood. Someone else slept with his wife. HIS WIFE.

Those two gods!

"You are not." He killed that man before that man could plant his dirty seeds inside his wife. "Your womb isn't allowed to have anyone else's child. You are my wife."

"Boy, when did we get married?" Ari glares at him. His overbearing and possessive tone is enough to make her lose her temper and momentarily forget some matters. "Even if you are the scary prince of Country Z or A or B or all the letters in the alphabets, Ari is not interested in younger men. I like men who are matured like wine. Do you get it? I am 12 years older than you. When I had my first period, you couldn't even walk."

"Men who are matured like wine..." Adira mumbles her words. She didn't say such things in the past life. She did dislike the idea of accepting him as her husband. If they didn't get accidentally married, she would have never married him.

Why did she say that she's 12 years older? Ari? Her name is Ari Ashbourne in this world.

A thought occurs to Adira. He finally understands.

Her soul is healed. She remembers. Not her life on the Iravan. Not him.

She remembers the life she had before she was born in his world.
