He Forgot Our Wedding, So I Married The Cold General

Synopsis

The Crown Prince, Edward Lancaster, once swore he would never marry anyone but me. For five years, I believed him. But then his cousin, Lillian Hart, arrived in Valdrada, and he began to avoid me. It was not until much later that I learned the truth. During those same five years, he had been escorting Lillian on journeys through the countryside. He said, "Lillian has always been delicate. It is my duty to watch over her." He forgot the date of our wedding ceremony, yet he remembered to take her to the Luminaria Fair. Consumed with rage, I abandoned everything I had ever known and fled to Vastmarch, where I married the stern general whose name was spoken only in respectful tones. Five years passed before I returned to Valdrada, and there, at the very gates of the palace, I came face to face with Edward once more. I dipped into a curtsy. "Greetings, Your Highness." His eyes reddened at the rims. "Did you ever read my letter?" Before I could speak, a cold voice rose from behind me. "Does it truly matter whether she read it or not?"
