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

Duke Harper clenched his hand under the table as he looked towards the King, who he obviously thought conspired with Duke Hugh to make him lead the troop to investigate and kill the enemy.

All of them knew how dangerous and unpredictable the Outers are. And since there's still no information that they knew about them, it's riskier.

"What do you say, Duke Harper?" King Matthias IV asked as he looked at the Duke with a smile.

"Of course, Your Majesty. That would be an honor for me."

Duke Harper showed them a smile but it was evident how his red orbs were saying something else.

Meanwhile, Hugh glanced at him with his sharp eyes and smirked in mockery.

All of the nobles who were conspiring to make the Duke face the new enemy while they enjoyed the show as they comfortably are in the comfort of their walls were gritting their nails through their skin in anger.

...GOT THEM THIS TIME!
