Znakey's manga / #Dark/Tanned skin(35)

Thought it’d be 100% fluff but it’s quite sexy. I loved the start but I dropped a bit by the end, I think it would have been great as a longer story.

Cover page story in chapter 5.

I like this MC and ML! MC is strong in battle, but ML is an absolute monster. MC is a noblewoman from a family that ‘fell from grace’ and has to take care of her younger brother, so she enlists in the army dressed as a man (Elze). She meets companions there and forms a group of mercenaries (Elise). As Elze, she saves the life of Shan (ML) and aids him, becoming important since it’s the first time he’s been shown such kindness (gay vibes!). Then, she returns home to care for her brother and the prince (or sth) arranges her to marry Shan so he becomes a Count. Shan suspects she is Elze, but he is falling for her regardless of whether she is or isn’t. Really cute.

Unfortunately, the bottom (dark skin) became less cool and more bottom-like as the story progresses.
