MyCatPaws

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

She was about to get in the carriage when she saw Austin suddenly bowing and giving someone a salute.

She looked back and saw Hugh was walking towards her.

"When did he get here?" She whispered towards Austin.

"I think he had a meeting with the King."

"I thought the Duke is here to get away from the North and have some vacation but it looks like he's more busy here."

"You said it right, My Lady. Wherever the Duke is he's just busy."

"I know. He's busier than me." Leticia agreed.

Since she pretty much sees Hugh everyday dealing with huge piles of documents, trains the knights, cooks for her occasionally, attends meetings for his business, as well as have meetings with the King and the other Duke's.

He's pretty much a slave to work at this point.

So, Leticia understands that it was only her that could deal with things that are related to social things. Besides, she gets into a contract just for this.
