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!

The rumored notorious Duke Hugh Naville decided to stay quiet and enjoy the life he has with Leticia until knights came and begged him to go back as his marriage candidates lined up to meet him, plotted for political purposes of the Queen.

Thinking that the Queen shouldn't have his way with his life, Duke Hugh saw Leticia as the best option.

"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

"That is something that my royal uncle would do…"

Leticia felt like she succeeded on the first hurdle because the things she said was something that the Duke of North would normally do if you really know his nature.

Of course, Leticia had to check with Hugh first when she came up with this story. And at that time, he only nodded. Meaning, what she suggested was actually things that he would normally or specially do when it was needed.

'...but I didn't know that the Princess was actually so close to Hugh that she actually understood how he acts? I thought it's only the King amongst the Royals who understood him besides she's the Queen's daughter.'

Maybe she's just being prejudiced but It also came as a surprise for Leticia.

Then. Lady Josephine chimed in. And she seems more interested than before.

"What happened after that, My Lady?"

IT TINGLES!
