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

Leticia excused herself as she didn't have enough time to idle around with the ladies.

"Where are you going, Lady Leticia?" Lady Josephine asked.

"Oh, I'm going to rest at my tent. So, if you'll excuse me…"

Leticia was flustered that Lady Josephine suddenly wanted to go with her.

Suddenly, Josephine showed such a pitiful look towards Leticia.

"I see… I just wanted to talk with you but I guess I'm being a bother."

In the end, Leticia agreed since she can't possibly deny her when she was basically pleading to talk to her.

"No, you're not a bother, Lady Josephine. I could spare a few minutes. Let's go."

And so, Leticia and Lady Josephine stroll out of the tent leaving the busy ladies chatting and gossiping.
