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

"I also have the same thought, Your Majesty. It worries me how the Duke loves me so much…" Leticia laughed bashfully.

But deep inside, 'Ah… this is exhausting. Pretending to be in-love.'

Leticia wanted to laugh at herself for being this diligent.

'It's work… right. I'm here for work.'

She could only remind herself about why she was doing this.

When Leticia had motivated herself  she unconsciously smiled thinking about the place that she will live when the time comes that this is over.

However, it vanished immediately when someone suddenly spoke with a harsh and sarcastic tone.

"What do you mean you worry about the Duke's love? You should be proud about it. You get to possess the heart of the Northern Duke" It was Princess Elizabeth who chimed in.
