My Fiance Is The 2nd Male Lead
Kaen Ginryuu's

Suiren's head felt unusually dizzy as he opened both of his eyes. When he touched his temple, he felt a slight bruise on his skin.

“Sick a little? That's right..” muttered Suiren. He looked around and found that he was in a dark place that he had never seen before.

The only light that was in this place came from a torch attached to the wall. The air was heavy and there was no wind at all. But Suiren was not alone. Around him there were many people, be it men, women or children.

Everyone looked tired and not powered. It was as if their energy was being sucked up just by being inside this place.

It took him a while to realize that the wall he was sucking on was rough stones. The golden stones. It was in the imperial gold mines.

It looks like he managed to become one of the victims of human trafficking. Now he just had to wait for the plan that General Kazuma had made. Although he himself did not know the plan, and it may have been foolish for him to entrust his life to someone he did not know, but for some reason he felt that this plan would work.

Suiren looked around. Across the hall where he was sitting was a little girl sitting beside a woman who was fifty years old. The girl was sleeping on the woman's lap. Next to the woman, someone sat wearing a hood and covered her face. Then to Suiren's left, a middle-aged man coughed and as he breathed his breath sounded heavy.

‘How long have these people been in this place?’ Suiren thought inwardly.

Suddenly from within the darkness someone appeared by pushing a drum made of wood. The man was wearing a black faceplate so that only his eyes were visible. From his posture, Suiren guessed that the person was a male.

The figure walked to the middle of the tunnel and then left the wooden drum. Then the figure disappeared.

As soon as the figure disappeared, people started to rise from their seats and approach the drum. Each carried a small bowl made of wood.

The girl who had fallen asleep on the lap ran the fastest towards the drum. He pointed his small bowl under the pancoran and opened the lever above it.

From inside the end of the fountain comes water.

This girl filled her bowl and then ran through the crowd towards the woman. “Minum, Mom.”

The woman who turned out to be the mother of the girl became visibly excited and grabbed the bowl held by the girl. Then the woman drank the water in the bowl in a hurry. It was as if he had not been drinking for days.

After the water in the bowl ran out the girl then ran again towards the drum, crashing into the sea of people who began to surround the drum. Moments later he came out with the bowl filled with water.

He sat back down at his starting place and prepared to take water from the bowl. But he stopped when he saw Suiren looking at him.

The girl looked at Suiren with her dark eyes. Then he got up and walked over to Suiren.

“Do you not have a bowl to drink?” tanyakanya. His face looks lethargic.

Suiren. To be honest he did not feel thirsty but it seemed like his gaze made the girl misunderstand.

Then the girl sat down next to Suiren and then thrust her bowl.

“You can drink this.” His word.

Suiren shook his head while smiling. “You just first. I'm not so thirsty.”

The girl then nodded and drank from her bowl. After that he got up and ran towards the drum which is now not so in the crowd. A moment later he returned with a bowl full of water.

He presented it to Suiren and Suiren accepted it. He sat down next to Suiren.

“Thank you...” Suiren said while hinting that he wanted to know the girl's name.

“I Anisha.” The girl smiled.

“Thank you, Anisha.” Suiren stroked the girl's head. “I Suiren.”

Anisha smile. “You have a very pretty name. Fits your appearance.”

Suiren simply smiled and then brought the bowl closer to his mouth.

But before it managed to pour water from the bowl into its mouth, it suddenly threw the bowl it was holding away.

It was so fast that he was unaware of what was happening in front of him.

“Do not drink it.” said the hooded figure quietly but loudly enough for Suiren to hear it.

The hooded figure that was sitting near Anisha and her mother was suddenly in front of her. He crouched down before Suiren, looking at her with his two bright red eyes that resembled rubies. He had brushed aside the bowl that Suiren was holding to the point that it was thrown away from his hand, about twenty meters from where he was sitting.

Anisha was as shocked as Suiren. Because after seeing the incident in front of her, Anisha ran back to her mother's side with a frightened face.

“What are you doing?” Suiren finally asked in a huffed tone. His hands were getting ready to reach for the dagger he had stored inside his boots.

The figure took off her hood and showed her pitch-black hair similar to Kyrie's black hair. A man.

"The water was given medicine. Once you drink that water you will become addicted and will feel pain if you do not drink it again in a short period of time." The man's hand stopped Suiren's hand trying to reach his dagger.

The structure of his face looks different from those of the Helianthus empire, similar to the facial structure of General Kazuma Enkai. The two red eyeballs are framed with pointed eyes and thin lips with fair yellow skin. On his left ear hung a long red earring with a small jade as ornament.

“Sorry for my sassness, Suiren.” A smile flashed on his face.

Suiren scrunched his forehead. This man in front of him gave off a calming aura. The same aura Suiren got from Crown Prince Frederick.

“I Kaen Ginryuu.” His red eyes lit up as he introduced himself. “Third Prince of the Kingdom of Ginryuu.”
