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

Somehow the reply that came to Hugh was not the answer he expected but somehow he kind of wished it would be.

That alone made Hugh confused but also felt relief. It means that Leticia wouldn't be subjected as a witch which this Kingdom has prejudice for.

"Is that so…? That's great then."

Hugh could only give such a reply.

He didn't bother to think too much about it. The reason why Leticia said she needed a blessing or that she didn't have it.

Hugh forgot about it and just sat beside her and looked at her as he felt relief.

However, William still had a baffled expression on his face as he stared in the direction of the sleeping Leticia.

And he said, "Your Grace, didn't you say that the Lady didn't have a blessing?"

"What's the use of answering that when you yourself already confirmed it? Maybe, she just forgot about it or no one told her since she must have been too young to remember."
