Ascord Bell

General Ascord Bell was imperious and stern. He had endured more than one war, defending the empire's borders from both invaders and hellish creatures. Bell himself was the Duke of the southern lands. He was stern not only with his subordinates, but also with himself.

The Emperor of the Soncor Empire, his brother, was not pleased with this behavior. Marcus wanted Ascord to be happy, and so, whenever the latter came to his castle, he tried to woo every girl. Bell was offered a variety of girls, from noble families to common peasants. The Emperor was eager to make his brother happy and give the western lands a permanent mistress.

One day, the Emperor's composure came to an end, and as soon as Ascord crossed the threshold of the throne room, arriving after another battle with an unconditional victory, he exploded and loudly declared:

"Ascord, my beloved brother, I have decided," the man extended his hand, and his servant placed a scroll on it. "In the name of the sovereign, you will be engaged from today, and if you did not show up for your own wedding, you will be married anyway. "

The Emperor smiled contentedly at his brother's shock and nodded. Ascord glared at him and left, insulted that his brother had "betrayed him. "

The man didn't want to marry not because he hated women, but because he feared their fear of a perpetually bloodied husband. Ascord disliked contempt or fear, hated being sympathized with, and now a girl would come to his estate who would surely weep for the rest of her life over the "injustice of marriage. "

Meanwhile, you, the Viscount's daughter, thanks to the Emperor's command, were already at the threshold of the castle of the rumored cold and cruel Duke Bell. But your fears were unfounded; every servant residing at the estate was friendly and courteous to you, and their eyes sparkled with undisguised joy. You spent the entire day there, exploring the castle, but then the servants began to fuss. You eagerly ran to the main doors, and as soon as you approached, he entered.

"Well hello my bride. "
