I Didn’t Intend to Become a Companion

“I’ll make sure you don’t regret being engaged to me.”

Lienne, a count’s daughter who experienced death once before. She dreams of being burned at the stake in the distant future for the crime of pretending to be a duke’s companion.

Duke Ricardo, who would cause her death in the future, is still young and confined to the count’s estate. She thought she could raise him well and send him to his true companion’s side…

But one day, while helping him with sword practice, she accidentally triggered his ability manifestation. The problem is that triggering ability manifestation is the role of a companion.

‘Ah, I’m doomed. Completely doomed.’

If things continue this way, she’ll definitely be branded as a fake companion and face the burning execution ending. So she decides to flee and hide in the remote countryside.

She thought her peaceful rural life would continue, but it was only temporary. Before she knew it, Ricardo had grown into an adult and tracked her down, declaring that she was his companion and he would take her to the capital…

“You’re taking me because I helped trigger your manifestation, right?”

“Yes. So you belong to me.”

“Excuse me? What do you mean…?”

“Since you helped with my manifestation, you could be my companion, couldn’t you?”
