The Lustforged Hero - Chapter 5: The Hero’s Calling

It’s been 11 years since I’ve lived for others and not for me.

“I need a lady to act as my fake wife for a certain period of time.”

“A contract marriage?”

“The term is one year. When the time is up, I’ll give you divorce with no strings attached.”

“Did you just look at that man?”

Excuse me, Duke, you said it’s for a limited time only, so why do you keep obsessing over me?
