Leticia whose been living her life quietly in the outskirts of the Kingdom of Otis, met a bloodied man lying on her lawn in the middle of the night.

Deciding to save the man whose identity is still unknown, Leticia did the bare minimum aid and determined to let him go when he gets better.

'Well... I mean, I can't afford to help and sheltered an unknown man when I want to get married, right?!'

But what's this?

Why are you not leaving? And why are you so good at doing household chores?! And you know how to cook too?!

You're making me hesitate to let you go!

"Leticia... Will you become my lover?"

"Huh? Why would I do that?!"

The response from Leticia made Duke Hugh smile. He became sure that she's the only answer to his crisis.

"I want you to become my fake lover..."

But what will happen when suddenly Leticia had a glimpsed of her future and one of those is her life hanging in a thread?

'I should leave before I can, right?'

The Duke's Fraudulent Lover

The Royal Banquet that celebrated the Lalatua Festival had come to an end. The danger that happened that night was never spoken like it was a dangerous rendezvous that needed to be kept from anyone.

And only a couple of people know why. Like the people who were caught up by the unfortunate and untimely incident.

"Hmm…" Hugh's eyes scanned and read the letter that Hans gave to him that came from the Maquis.

He leaned on his chair and put his hand on his temple while frowning. He then sighed. "Where's Leticia?"

"The Lady is in her room." Hans responded and as he glanced at his master, he was curious as to what made the lines on the Duke's forehead as he was always indifferent and nonchalant.

"Is something wrong, Your Grace?"

Hans asked. As a butler and a servant, he's responsible to help his Master with any problems that bugs him. However, it was the first time that he blatantly sighed.

IN A MONTH?!
