I Married a S*ave Instead of My Ex-husband

“Don’t die, Marian. You don’t have the right to die and leave me behind.” Born as the emperor’s filthy illegitimate child and a great mage, Marian’s life had been nothing but severe pain for a long time. Pushed by her declining country, she meets her end on the battlefield, but returns 10 years into the past due to the karma of killing countless lives. [You must save more lives than those you have taken.] A chance to finally save those she couldn’t save before. Marian first thought of her kind friend. ‘Someday I’ll become a Duke too, Marian. When that time comes, I’ll save you.’ ‘How?’ ‘I’ll propose to you, Marian. Become the Duchess of Drake.’ He was the first person who said they would protect Marian. Abel, whom those who shared blood with Marian had thrown into the mud. It had been 7 years since Abel fell into s*avery. “Wait for me, Abel. I’m coming.” Though she couldn’t save him before, this time she will rescue Abel. *** Marian was someone so fragile she seemed like she might break, making it impossible to treat her carelessly. “Shall I tell you how beautiful you are?” Pure and kind Marian, how many flies were drawn to this gentle heart. Abel felt sick just thinking about it. ‘One parasite by Marian’s side is enough, and that’s me.’ But it’s alright. Because Abel will protect her. Abel gently held Marian’s chin and lowered his head. ‘You’re the one who came looking for me.’ A monster who has reclaimed what was once lost will never let it go again.
