【Winner of the 2nd SQEX Novel Award, Silver Prize】
Tempest Whitewish is a young lady from a Marquis family. Though she reaches the eligible age of 16 for a noble, she has absolutely no desire to marry. After all, she possesses memories of her past life. In her past life, 16 was still an age when she wanted to play and have fun.
"Since I've been reborn, I have to enjoy life to the fullest!"
What she loved most about this other world she reincarnated into was the existence of magic. And, fortunately, she was born with an innate talent for magic.
"I want to become a mage!"
With her past life's wish fulfilled through reincarnation, she found a new dream.
"I'm going to be an adventurer!"
Hunting magical beasts, skinning them for materials to sell, donning weapons and equipment, taking on quests to escort princesses, and, above all, cutting down enemies with swift, decisive blows!
Unfortunately, her family did not welcome this dream. As a noblewoman, she was expected to be a demure, beautiful lady devoted to her husband.
One day, she was tricked and led away, only to find herself at her own wedding, much to her surprise. Tempest's husband-to-be was Duke Wendell Blood, a man rumored in noble society to be a cold-blooded individual with no tears or empathy.
(What the hell!?)
Tempest, instantly annoyed by her husband's utter disregard for her, a bride she never wanted to be, immediately revised her life plan.
Fortunately, the Blood territory was home to a famous underground dungeon. It was also well-known as an adventurer's city. Therefore, Tempest resolved, "Now's the time to become an adventurer!"
"I'll make a name for myself as an adventurer and completely embarrass him!!!"
Tempest skipped to the dungeon today, excited to imagine the look on her cold-blooded husband's face when he found out the Duchess of Blood was an adventurer. Besides, if she could support herself as an adventurer, divorce wouldn't be a problem!
"If I can just be self-sufficient, what's a mere ducal family!?"
However, as Tempest's adventurer life progressed smoothly, something unexpected occurred.
"What a beautiful person!"
Her own husband, in disguise, had fallen in love with Tempest the adventurer, not realizing she was his wife.
"...Is he an idiot?"
Even while wondering if her husband was technically cheating, Tempest continues to enjoy life today!
A romantic comedy fantasy about such a positive, confident, sassy heroine and her positive, deluded, narcissistic husband!?
