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

"Can't you just write a letter? We can have one of my knights directly go to the South and to the person who you wanted to see and also bring him back if you want."

Leticia had a troubled look on her face. Which made Hugh even more curious as to why Leticia was asking to such lengths.

"What is it, Leticia? What's happening?" Hugh became more curious.

"I need to ask something to the director regarding when he found me."

Leticia bit her lower lip while looking down and Hugh watched her fingers fidget in anxiety.

"Let's make Salis come to the South and deliver your message, what do you think?"

Leticia looked up abruptly and met his concerned eyes.

And after contemplating for a while, Leticia answered.

Hugh smiled in response. "Of course! Salis is someone you can trust and even if you don't want to tell him about your secret, then, you don't have to."

GOING BACK...
