Queen of Lepite

by 임연

Summary “You don’t even love me, do you?” Erin Cornu was the principal ballerina of the Royal Ballet Company and, at the same time, the only daughter of a ducal family drowning in debt. One day, a man appeared before her. “Love? Is that really important? The only thing that matters to me is that you are currently the most valuable woman in this country.” For a moment, Erin was left speechless before glaring at him. The man standing before her was exactly as the rumors described. The illegitimate son of a baron. A wandering drifter. And now, the billionaire who had returned in glory after founding the empire’s largest department store. Eden Fletcher. “…You’re a shameless vulgarian.” “Yes, I know.” “A nouveau riche brute obsessed with money!” “My apologies. Regrettable that I’m this kind of man.” Erin clenched her teeth, glaring at him as if she wanted to leap at him and strangle him on the spot. “Let me make this clear. I will never marry you.” “No, I don’t think that’s possible.” For the first time, his expressionless face cracked into an irritating smile. “I’ve already paid the price for you. If you think about it, you’ll simply become one of the rare ornaments displayed in my department store. Isn’t that better than being sold off as some old man’s wife?” Smack— His head snapped sharply to the side. “You filthy bastard. Shut up.” Erin’s hand trembled after slapping him, and watching her, Eden stepped closer and added, “I like this side of you. It’s thrilling. If you want, I wouldn’t mind getting hit every day… though I assume you won’t do this in front of customers?” From beginning to end, this man was complete trash who cared for nothing but his own kingdom.
