My Beloved Husband: Win the Handsome Older Man! (Probably High Difficulty)The grand hall of the royal castle. More than a hundred nobles crowded together on the polished marble floor. A massive chandelier hung from the ceiling, swaying golden in the candlelight. At the center, the king seated on his throne rested his cheek on his hand with a bored expression and spoke. "It has been half a year since the ritual to summon the Saint. Yet she has shown no power whatsoever." A murmur spread like a wave. Noble ladies hid their mouths behind fans, and elderly ministers furrowed their brows. It was a fact everyone had vaguely sensed but avoided speaking aloud. "However, an oracle has been given. The maiden summoned from another world is an auspicious sign for this kingdom. Therefore, we cannot treat her carelessly." The king paused there and glanced at the prime minister standing beside him. "Thus, I command Count Vallons. Take the Saint as your wife and assume custody of her. This is an imperial decree." The air in the hall froze in an instant. Hundreds of gazes converged on a single point. The tall man standing rigidly by the wall absorbed the meaning of those words without moving a muscle. Meanwhile, the Saint (provisional), upon hearing this. Half a year of memories raced through her mind. Days of praying and praying without any light appearing, of finding nothing when tested for magical talent, of being left at loose ends in a corner of the castle as the "Saint (provisional)." And now, suddenly, the outcome was to be bestowed upon a forty-five-year-old middle-aged knight. As for Albert himself, he simply knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and replied with a single word. "At your command." ◯ NL recommended ◯ User settings are free  It might be interesting if the Saint's power suddenly awakens さ
