My Secretly Hot Husband
Chapter 0
Someone: I hear the monster lord of Halstead came to the ball
Someone: you mean the devil hunter of the north?
Someone: and he came with his wife?
Someone: his wife? he's married?
Someone: you didn't know?
Someone: she's quite a beauty, with brains to match
Someone: she's increased their fortune like a snowball racing down a mountain in the dead of winter
Someone: I hear they've been hunting many devils lately in the north
Someone: Such a wise young lady for that monstrous guy? What a shame
Someone: but... I bet it'd be really easy to seduce her
Someone: living with such a hideous man, it wouldn't be hard to win her heart...
Someone: Heh~ looks like you might be a little late
Someone: Good evening, madam~
Someone: Count Baldein Is Making His Move.
there're So Many Ladies Who've Been Courting Him.
Count Baldein: a Pleasure To Meet You. I'm Count Baldein.
Count Baldein: ** Courting country girl like her? a piece of cake **
Count Baldein: you looked so beautiful, standing there alone,
Count Baldein: that I just had to introduce myself...
Count Baldein: **D-don't panic...!**
Count Baldein: **maybe she's shy...**
Count Baldein: I-It's a wonderful evening, isn't it?
Count Baldein: but this fresh evening air
Count Baldein: and the radiant lights of the hall wouldn't mean a thing without y--
Letitia
Yeah... I guess so...
Count Baldein: **she didn't even hear me out!**
Count Baldein: **W-Why isn't anything working?**
Count Baldein: **I've NEVER failed!**
Count Baldein: what's wrong, madam?
Count Baldein: are you not felling well, or...
Count Baldein: *gasp* **wait... could it be...?**
Count Baldein: if you're being threatened by the monster lord...
Count Baldein: or being forced to live in the castle With him
Count Baldein: please, madam...
Count Baldein: *serious* send me a secret signal with a blink...!
Count Baldein: **she turned to me**
Count Baldein: **to notify me that she's in danger...!**
Letitia
you are too ugly...
Count Baldein: I'm ugly?!
Letitia
I don't wish to be rude to someone I've only met once,
Letitia
but you kept pushing your face into mine,
Letitia
and your features are so... misplaced
Letitia
you look like some horrible deep-sea creature.
Count Baldein: ** w-what the hell did she just say...?!**
Letitia
and just so you're aware, people blink 15 thousand times a day.
Letitia
the wisdom of your choice of a secret signal makes me question your intelligence...
Letitia
now, if you'll excuse me
Letitia
**where is he...?** *looking for Erden*
Letitia
*approaching Erden*
Erden
are you done with the research?
Author
just imagine if the clunk was the sound of a horse carriage
Erden
I got you in trouble there, didn't I?
Erden
next time we're invited, please go without me
Erden
I attract too much attention
Erden
when I hear people say that you're 'married to a monster', it really upset me
Letitia
please don't say that, Erden
Letitia
I couldn't care less what people say about you
Letitia
they just don't know who you really are
Letitia
*holding Erden's hand*
Letitia
it's just the two of us now
Letitia
take off your mask and make yourself comfortable
Erden
but... I'm too hideous under the mask...
Letitia
it's okay. I'm getting used to it
Letitia
**but no... I'll never get used to it...**
Letitia
**to this beauty!!!**
Erden
I'm so lucky to have a wife like you. I just... can't thank you enough
Letitia
**I'm the lucky one**
Erden
you're too kind to such a hideous man like me...
Letitia
I'm your wife, after all.
Erden
no, I don't deserve you. you're too good for me.
Letitia
*so happy to see Erden's face~*
Erden
I should divorce you as soon as possible... for you sake
Erden
I... I know I should've set you free sooner
Erden
I put together the divorce papers with the help of a lawyer, but I think I somehow...
Letitia
*half-hearted* oh, what a shame
Letitia
**yes, because I burned them**
Letitia
*holding Erden's hand again*
Letitia
lawyers hardly ever come to the north where devils flourish.
Letitia
you need to go down south to meet one,
Letitia
but you're much too busy hunting devils, aren't you?
Erden
it'll take even longer.
Erden
again, I am so sorry, letitia... I shouldn't keep you for do long in the north where your parents passed away.
Erden
I'm afraid it will worsen your grief...
Letitia
*firm* no need to rush!
Letitia
please take your time
Erden
*holding letitia's hand*
Letitia
**I need to spread more frightening rumors among the lawyers...**
Letitia
**who would divorce such a handsome husband?**
Letitia
**divorce is not a option**
Chapter 1
Letitia
please, somebody...
Letitia
**I still have dreams about my previous life**
Letitia
**the black smoke filling every corner in the small, shabby room,**
Letitia
**and the sensation of my flesh burning and melting in the flames**
Letitia
**the memory is still vivid**
Letitia
**it looks so delicious**
Letitia
**I was reincarnated, only to be orphaned a year later when my parents died in the land of the devils to the north.**
Letitia
**and now I live here with my uncle's family, as one of their maids.**
Letitia
**I'm always hungry and cold**
Letitia
**no one would care if I died and was born yet again**
Letitia
**besides, in this life, if you even mention a past life,**
Letitia
**you'll be labeled a witch and burned at the stake...**
Letitia
**maybe that's the reason I keep dreaming about my previous life...**
Letitia
**because I don't want to be burned to death again in this life**
Someone: but letitia is the heiress of the mine!
Someone: she may be 12, but I am her guardian!
Someone: I've every right to use her inheritance to raise her as I see fit!
Someone: if we spend more money and send people to the land of devils again,
Someone: we might be able to find the deed to the mine that was lost in the accident ten years ago!
Someone: once we claim the property, we'll be incredibly rich!
Someone: that's not the issue, darling!
because of you, one of our daughters has to marry that monster!
Letitia
**what are they talking about?**
Someone: don't you know what kind of family the halsteads are?!
Someone: their babies are born hideous monsters because of that hereditary disease!
Someone: have you heard of the lord's servants, the "three old witches?
Someone: If they don't like a young lady, they offer her up as a sacrifice to the devils,
Someone: the belongings of all the ladies are stacked tall like a tower!
Letitia
**I thought the sisters had made up that story about the halsteads just to scare me**
Someone: but I must find the deed...!
Someone: you've searched for a decade since her parents' death for that piece of paper.
Someone: darling, do you really think it can be found after all this time? please just give up already!
One of the kitchen maids: what are you doing, get in there
Letitia
**He hasn't given up on my inheritance yet?**
Letitia
**is that why he didn't even attend my parents' funeral? because he was on his way to the land of devils looking for deed?**
Letitia
**I hate this...**
Someone: you should have never gone to that accursed place all by yourself...
Someone: you ended up indebted to that strange family and for what?!
Someone: would you rather I had been killed by the devils there instead?!
Someone: if that man hadn't saved me, I would have been!
Someone: you practically sold us to that monster familyyyyy!
Letitia
**wait, what does the halstead family have to do with my inheritance**
Someone: as I said, you should send letitia instead...
Someone: no! I can't!
Someone: we'll just burn the pledge and forget the whole thing!
Someone: are you crazy? give it to me! *scramble the paper*
Letitia
u-uncle, I brought your breakfast...
*the paper was thrown and landed in front of letitia*
Someone: letitia! give me that! now!
Someone: no, letitia! burn it
Letitia
**this is the holy paper used by the temple**
Someone: burning holy paper won't nullify the pledge! it'll only make things worse!
Letitia
*read the holy paper*
Letitia
**Alistair Frey owes his life to the Master of the Halsteads in the Land of Devils**
Letitia
**Thus in the name of the Divine God, Prey promises to pay his debt by offering another life**
Letitia
**The Master of the Halstead estates will take one of Frey's daughters into his family to satisfy this blood pledge**
Someone: if someone breaks a blood pledge, the temple will confiscate their property...
Someone: ... and condone them to the dungeon for life
Someone: please give up, darling...
Someone: only blood can redeem a pledge bound by blood
Someone: and you, letitia, are you related to me by blood
Letitia
want to send me to the north?
Letitia
**That's what they're Fighting About?**
Letitia
**because they won't have claim to my inheritance if I'm married to the halstead family?**
Someone: yes, you go there!
Someone: you'll make a good match with the monster! you're a witch!
Someone: a witch? what do you mean?
Someone: she's talked in her sleep every night since she was little!
Letitia
**do I speak in my sleep?**
Someone: that's true! and she always acts really strange!
*crash* *the food brought by letitia fell to the floor*
Letitia
Th-that's nonsense! there's no proof that I'm a witch!
Someone: they say all gingers are witches!
Someone: they'll find out when they interrogate you at the temple!
Someone: letitia, you know what they do with witches, don't you?
Letitia
y-you can't be serious, auntie
Letitia
**you are put under a spell and questioned at the temple**
Letitia
**If I'm taken there, they'll surely know That I can remember my past life!**
Someone: you're my niece, after all. I won't let them burn you to death
Someone: but if anyone else finds out about this, you'll be taken to the temple right away
Someone: I'm worried about your safety
Someone: we were talking about adopting you and marrying you into the halstead family
Someone: it really is the best way to protect you
Letitia
y-you can't do this to me. you're going to send me off to where my parents died?
Someone: would you rather I send word to the temple instead?
Someone: I'll get you ready to leave for the north tomorrow
Letitia
**I'm sure the devil has a face just like that**
letitia on the way there alone
Letitia
**it can't be that bad**
Author
You are pretty optimistic
Letitia
**of course it's near the land of devils, but people live there**
Letitia
**and the monster lord is human, after all**
Letitia
**he's not an actual devil**
Letitia
**it's far better than burning at the stake as a 'witch'**
Letitia
**it should be...**
Letitia
*get off the horse carriage and go to the coachman*
Coachman: I dunno... we've somehow... suddenly arrived in the north...
Coachman: a sandstorm is coming!
Another coachman: a sandstorm? where did it come from...?
Coachman: I-I see something over there!
Another coachman: *cough*
another coachman: what's that?
Coachman: wait, no! they're imps!
*they both leave letitia*
Letitia
