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!”

Ronald seemed like he wanted to protest, but in the end, he suppressed it and said, "All right. Send it to the palace once you're done."

Seeing that the old man did not say anything, Ronald knew that he had heard him, so he left an arm around Irene.

The two of them sat in the carriage that was returning to the palace. It was rare that Irene did not keep staring out of the carriage. Instead, she turned her head slightly and carefully eyed Ronald's handsome side profile.

Ronald was taking a nap. His eyes were resolute and fierce. Even when he was sleeping, he looked so dignified.

Irene was calculating in her heart. Could she really escape from such a man?

"Have you looked enough?" Ronald suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Irene, who did not have time to avert her gaze. He pulled Irene into his arms. "If you want to look, then do it in the open. I won't charge you."

"Ronald." This was the first time Irene called Ronald's name.
