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

"Are you okay? I've been calling your name for a while now." Hugh said as he cupped her face and tilted her chin towards him.

Leticia blinks her eyes as he meets his raven eyes. "Oh… Sorry. I just had a lot of things to think about. Did you say something?"

She inquired as she looked at him. And Hugh intently stared into her eyes which made Leticia look away.

He sighed in response and removed his hand from her face.

"I said we'll go into that village two days from now. I'll just prepare a few things so we can go without worry. I'll only bring Austin with us too."

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it."

"Then, I'll go back now and leave you be. It seems you have a lot of things to do." Leticia stands on her toes and reaches for his cheeks as she gives him a peck on the left cheek.
