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!

"Leticia... Will you become my lover?"

"Huh? Why would I do that?!"

"I want you to become my fake lover..."

The Duke's Fraudulent Lover

Hugh kept on pondering about what Leticia said to him a few days ago.

"Your Grace, is there something wrong?"

And the butler, Hans, kept on noticing that Hugh was always in deep thought.

"No, I was just thinking about those Outers."

Hugh gives a different reason as he didn't want the others to know about what Leticia said to him.

"Ah… I see. I heard that the Palace still couldn't figure out what their agenda was on attacking that day."

Hugh looked at the butler as he said that.

"Are you going to tell them about what we knew about them?" Hans added.

He was talking about what Countess Lauren said.

The fairytale story looks like it came from reality but somehow was forgotten and became a bedtime story for a small village in the North.

Hugh sighed, leaned his head on the headrest, and looked up at the ceiling.

"I'm not going to reveal what I knew for now. I will see what will happen first."

DEADLY STARE...
