As a maid of the royal family, Irene was sent to learn etiquette by Princess Marla to take her place in marriage.
Her partner in a marriage was the brave and fierce General Ronald, who had just been granted the title of a duke!
Rumor has it that Ronald was cruel, bloodthirsty, and did not care about women.
To even seduce or betray him was to court death.
Irene shivered in her wedding gown. She did not know how many days she would survive being around him.
Ronald asked, "Wifey, why are you shivering?"
Irene responded fearfully, "I… am a little cold..."
The tall man smiled and pulled her into his embrace, and their body temperatures rose.
One day, the substitute marriage came to light, and thus her marriage with the duke was void. Everyone thought that whatever she had to face next was terrible.
However, the duke held her face and said, “Regardless of whether you’re a princess or maid, if you were to marry, it can only be me!”

Irene helped Ronald with his tie. "Why don't you wear a military uniform? Why do you always wear a suit?" It was the first time she had seen someone who didn't know how to wear a tie wear a suit.

Ronald put his arm around Irene's slender waist and kissed her on the top of her head. "Good girl. You don't want to see me wearing that."

He was a soldier in a military uniform. As a soldier, he was bound to bleed. It was either him or someone else. He didn't want Irene to see the rumored him.

The carriage brought the two of them to Croce's market.

There were many people at the market. Irene did not expect Ronald to bring her here. Looking at Ronald holding her hand, it seemed that Ronald liked to hold her hand. Was he afraid that she would run away? Would he have more control if he held her hand?

Irene looked at Ronald, whose face was as sharp as a knife and an axe. Irene actually had the illusion that he would not kill her.
