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

Then all of a sudden, Cora sighed.

"I worry about his fiance. What if she was just being pushed into this marriage? Her family belongs to the Baignard, right?"

Carl had a look that he was in deep thought.

"That's right. The Baignard family had been the loyal vassals of the Duke. There's a possibility that she was pushed to this engagement to have a stronger bond between families. I also heard that she's been so sick that she needed to get out of the North and live in a warm place. I wonder if she will be alright here?"

Cora replied to what Carl said. "What would happen if she said she wanted to go back to her family?"

They knew that Duke Hugh had an indifferent personality and even though they heard that the Duke was nice to her because he was so deeply in love, it was still hard to think that he was capable of that.
