Глава 7, ч.1. Хулиганка Лесли

Chapter 7: Chapter7-The Delinquent Miss Leslie "Very well, since Mr. Owen is willing to marry my daughter Leslie, we will sign the marriage contract on the spot to finalize this matter!" Duke Charles said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Despite trying to suppress his emotions, the smile tugging at his lips betrayed his eagerness. Leslie's marriage had been a headache for him, and House Ravenwood's reputation had suffered repeatedly because of her. No noble son was willing to marry Leslie. After all, her past actions had been utterly reckless. She had even burned down the palace of the Third Prince, to whom she was previously betrothed, without a second thought. Now, this young man with decent looks and talent was willing to marry Leslie. Duke Charles feared that once Owen learned of Leslie's past, he might regret it. Therefore, he was eager to finalize the marriage contract as soon as possible. As long as the marriage contract was signed in black and white, there would be no worry about Owen backing out. This way, House Ravenwood could not only resolve Leslie's marriage issue perfectly but also secure a promising mage. It was a win-win situation! var adx_id_6327 = document.getElementById('bg-ssp-6327'); adx_id_6327.id = 'bg-ssp-6327-' + Math.floor(Math.random() * Date.now()); window.pubadxtag = window.pubadxtag || []; window.pubadxtag.push({zoneid: 6327, id: adx_id_6327.id, wu: window.location.href}) Hearing that the marriage contract would be signed immediately, Owen's heart pounded. The reason he had agreed so quickly was because of the system task, which he had no choice but to complete. Agreeing verbally was no big deal since there was no concrete evidence, and it was merely his acceptance without involving actual marriage. He had planned to bide his time, develop further, and then figure out how to get closer to Leslie. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 However, once the marriage contract was signed, it would be a different story! From what he knew of Leslie, she was a villain who pursued practical benefits. She could tolerate empty words because they didn't cause her any real loss. But truly marrying her, affecting her plans and interests, was something she would not tolerate. She would definitely target him! Although it was still early in the anime timeline, Leslie's tier and influence were already considerable. At least around the capital, there was no place for him to hide. If Leslie sent an experienced gold-tier mage to assassinate him, what then?
