Once upon a time when the fury of the light dragon swept across the continent. The five wizards honored the dragon as their teacher. They betrayed the teacher and chose to protect humans. Through the teachings of the Dragon, they knew the Dragon better than anyone else.
The first humans to learn how to protect themselves from Dragons calmed the Dragon’s anger and protected other humans. The kingdom established by wizards was now loved and honored by the continent. This was the Empire of the Sacred Morning Argan.
However, the destiny had something else for it. Trampled mercilessly under the hooves of a barbaric kingdom that marched South from the North was the reason it shattered and the most noble princess of that great empire was Elisabeth Asceica.
The whirlwind of destiny surrounded Elisabeth Asceica and was trying to engulf her. This was when she offered a marriage to Lezet Christian. So, Lezet Christian and Elisabeth Asceica’s marriage was just a contract marriage where they used each other for their respective reasons and purposes.
Elisabeth Asceica had told him that she’d give him a child but half a year had already passed since she said that. In the end, Elisabeth Asceica could not fulfill her part of the contract.

And this is how the story of ‘It Was Just A Contract Marriage’ begins. Come along to find out what happens next.
Recap
We previously saw in It Was Just A Contract Marriage Chapter 19 that even if Elisabeth Asceica is to take her last breath right now, it would not be surprising. The Doctor had already apologized to the family.
When Elisabeth Asceica was young, she spent most of the day envying her healthy younger brother. She wished she were as healthy as Andrei. Not only that Elisabeth Asceica dislike being sick, but she strongly hated it. Well, who would like to be sick, right?
Elisabeth Asceica’s hair color faded every time she was sick. She knew that even finding a strand of brown hair would be difficult in another few years if this was the case. Her brother, Andrei, however, complimented her hair all the time.
Andrei always consoled Elisabeth Asceica with all his sincerity. Every time she complained about her health, seeing her brother’s sad face was painful. So she began to swallow the words of envy. Elisabeth Asceica kept repeating that she was fine all the time now.
Without even considering that, it made her heart sick. With no one to vent the physical torment to, Elisabeth Asceica’s mind crumbled instantly. There came a time when she started staggering on the line between life and death, cursing herself.
