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

Hugh focuses all his attention on Leticia. The way he looked at her - that made her feel some kind of way. A sense of trust and belief was etched in his eyes. It was as if anything she said, even if it sounded crazy and impossible, Hugh would still believe her.

So Leticia had to take a big gulp of air to take that leap and straight away tell him what she had a dream about. Even though for her or anyone? it would feel like it's crazy and impossible.

"I…" Hugh was still staring and waiting for her. So, she continued, "I had a dream before… before we came here, but it feels like I was recalling a memory rather than a dream. I don't get it but that's how it feels to me."

"I dreamt about this place. This village, to be exact. I also dreamt about the four knights as well as the witch that Direck said about. I also saw someone who I believe to be the summoned one that the Outer seems to be talking about."
