I Don’t Want To Be The Hero’s Wife

All wives would wish for their husband’s success. For more wealth and power. For the stability it would bring to their household.

But Rona had never wished for any of that.

The more her husband, Anach, succeeded—

The more he gained fame as a hero—

The more Rona, his wife, was dragged into the mire.

Amidst the disregard and coldness of others, Rona wished for only one thing: Her husband Anach’s affection.

Though their marriage had been forced by the will of his parents, Rona had always longed for his heart.

But once Anach became a noble, he showed warmth to everyone but Rona.

—

Only after falling gravely ill and witnessing her husband’s infidelity did she finally make up her mind to give up on the marriage. And so she asked for a divorce…

“Divorce? You said you’d die if we were separated. And now you want a divorce?”

It was said that only by sleeping with a priest could she stay alive.

Rona squinted against her blurring vision, her voice trembling in defiance.

“Ugh… I-I’ll take care of my illness… on my own.”

She couldn’t believe it.

This man, who had never laid a hand on her after their marriage— Why now, only after she decided to leave…The sorrow hit her all at once, and a sob escaped. Rona turned her head, trembling like a wounded, fragile creature.

Then the man bared his teeth and growled, sinking them threateningly into her pale neck.

“Where do you think you’re going? If you want to live, be grateful and take it.”
