"What are you doing?"
Being stared at by Owen with that kind of look, Madelyn frowned slightly, feeling as if all her secrets had been seen through.
"Did you notice anything unusual while staying by the Archdemon's side?"
Owen pondered for a moment and asked.
Madelyn shook her head.
"Then the best plan we have right now is to go along with it and temporarily marry the Archdemon."
Madelyn's vision went black. "And you say you're not betraying my sister."
"It's just to deceive the Archdemon for now. Or would you rather go against her head-on? Besides, I need your help."
"Impossible!"
"If you cooperate, I'm confident I can force her to reveal her true purpose. Only then will we have a chance to escape."
"Really?" Seeing that Owen didn't seem to be joking, Madelyn looked at him half-believing, half-doubting.
"It's worth a try. This is our only chance."
…
Time flew by.
