The Princess I Refused

Synopsis

My wife was the king of the Radiant Empire's most cherished princess. She was truly of royal blood, noble beyond compare. But for three whole years, she chased after me, a young general from a fallen family, banished to the cold northern frontier. My manor was packed to the brim with exotic foods and priceless treasures. "Tristan, I won't marry anyone but you," Princess Adelina whispered, her voice gentle but unwavering as she grabbed onto my armor. As I gazed into Princess Adelina's tender, watery eyes, my heart, cold for years, finally felt the warmth of the sun in winter. I thought to myself, maybe this was a path worth taking after all. Just then, the system activated. "Warning, warning, host! Complete this battle mission, and you can return to your original world. Are you really going to stay in a world that isn't yours, just because of Princess Adelina?" I closed my eyes and nodded to myself. In my old world, there was nothing left for me. No home, no family. If Princess Adelina was willing to be my family, then maybe this world could be my home. "Yes, I want to stay," I replied. But in just three months, I ended up as nothing more than a total joke.
