'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?"

The Duke's Fraudulent Lover

The King was sitting on his throne room as Gallahad, William, Mary, and the rest of her company arrived in front of His Majesty.

Gallahad takes the lead. "We greet His Majesty, the King. The Ortis symbol of Strength, Prosperity, and Luck. We come here to tell the great news that we found the blessed child that the Goddess Maia has said in the holy scriptures of the book of Plumeria."

King Matthias IV had a look of interest as he saw the only female bowing her head with a veil on her face.

"That is great! I wonder if I could know the name of the blessed child."

At that, Mary, who was nervous, stepped forward and slightly bowed her head.

As she said her name, Mary, who had to practice what to introduce herself a few times in front of a mirror, swallowed a sigh of relief that was threatening to escape her mouth.
