Oguni no Koushaku Reijou wa Tekikoku nite Kakusei Suru

Bertine, the cherished daughter of a powerful marquess from a small but flourishing nation, has spent her life surrounded by privilege and the weight of noble expectation. But on the eve of her wedding, her world shatters when she is offered up as a spoil of war—a reparation gift to the enemy kingdom. Her king's decree is absolute: she will marry Cecilio, a fearsome general of the very nation that conquered her own, and sail across the ocean to begin a new life in hostile lands. Yet the cold reality that awaits her is far worse than she ever imagined. Her future husband does not greet her, and his household servants treat her with open humiliation and scorn. Stripped of her family's protection and the status that once defined her, Bertine finds herself utterly alone in a place that views her as nothing more than a trophy. Rather than succumb to despair, she makes a resolute choice: she will rely on no one but herself. With quiet determination, she flees the estate, determined to forge a life through her own hidden acumen for commerce. But survival in enemy territory comes with its own perils, and her path is destined to cross again with the man known as the "Battle-Crazed Savage"—the general who refused to claim her as his bride. As Bertine carves out a new identity through wit and perseverance, a single misunderstanding sets the stage for an unlikely negotiation. What begins as a transaction between a dispossessed noblewoman and a merciless warrior will slowly unravel into something far more complex: a romance born not of duty, but of a fragile, hard-won understanding.
