My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Chapter 1982

It was the night before the Summit of Ten Thousand Dynasties.

In Kreiz Prison of Yerusia, a facility specifically designed to detain and control Espers, resided individuals who defied the Illuminion or had been deemed useless pawns by them. Having caused a ruckus at the palace, Sven was transferred to this prison. Here, he encountered Marie.

Upon hearing someone approach, Marie instinctively hid in a corner. Meanwhile, the guards merely locked Sven in and left.

"Marie, it's me," Sven said excitedly.

Marie's frightened expression softened slightly, but her eyes still showed traces of fear.

"Sven? Is... that you?" she stammered.

"Yes, it's me!" Sven walked forward eagerly.
