Marriage and Sword

When her family’s fortunes collapsed, Hergenes Targael took drastic measures to survive. Concealing her true identity, she disguised herself as a male mercenary named Herge and ventured into the dangerous world of contract work to earn a living. During her time on the battlefield, she crossed paths with Shaun Kyroxus, a formidable warrior who quickly became an invaluable ally. However, when urgent matters demanded her return home, Hergenes was forced to abandon their partnership abruptly, leaving Shaun behind without explanation. Now bound by duty rather than choice, Hergenes finds herself thrust into an arranged marriage—only to discover that her new groom is none other than Shaun himself. Complicating matters further, he remains deeply fixated on tracking down his former comrade-in-arms, unaware that the woman standing before him is the very mercenary he seeks. As their unexpected union begins, Hergenes must navigate the fragile dynamics of this new arrangement while harboring a secret that could shatter everything. With Shaun determined to reunite with Herge, it is only a matter of time before the truth surfaces, leaving Hergenes to wonder if their marriage can survive the inevitable revelation.
