Having Enemy’s Baby

Two families who loathe each other to the core: Vermonte and Temnes.
Clodel becomes the sacrificial offering for a forced reconciliation, marrying Kaian, the Duke of Temnes.

“So you’re a bride unwelcomed by Temnes. Know your place and walk in on your own feet.”

Kaian treats her coldly, as the heir of a family locked in long-standing hostility.

“How admirable. Selling yourself to a man from your enemy’s house because of starving children.”

For him, it was an unwanted marriage.
For her, it was a marriage she chose.

Clodel endured the humiliation poured upon her—
she had not come here ignorant of what awaited her.

Between the two, a fragile bond of husband and wife begins to take root.

Gradually, he grows obsessed with Clodel,
and she finds a reason to live in Kaian.
But a shallow, unstable relationship is easily shattered and ruined.

“It’s disgusting—mixing such filthy blood. It’s not like you can split a child in half.”

Upon learning her husband’s true feelings,
Clodel leaves him behind.
