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!

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

Hugh had learned from Salis about the full report after he summoned him to his office while he changed his clothes as he came into the mansion in a hurry.

"I see… so that's what happened."

Hugh's dark eyes deepened as he wondered what was going on with Leticia. Hugh mumbled, "This is the second time that this has happened. Should I think about this as a mere coincidence? No… that can't be."

Salis, who was still in the office with him, hesitated to open his mouth after he somehow remembered something that could help assess the situation pertaining to Leticia's condition.

"Umm, actually, Your Grace, I have something to say…"

Hugh looked at Salis, who for the first time, asked for permission to say something with so much hesitancy.

"Actually, sist-... No, It's about Lady Leticia's glowing eyes…"
