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 raised his head and saw that the person standing in front of his desk was Irene, who was supposed to get into the carriage and head to Murcia.

Ronald put down the defensive map in his hand and walked quickly to Irene.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time before Ronald pulled Irene into his arms. "Didn't I ask Wen Shaoqing to send you back to Murcia? Why are you here?"

"You pushed me away whenever you're met with difficulties. Do you think I'm just a burden? Is it better for you If I leave? Aren't we husband and wife? No matter what happens, shouldn't we face it together?"

Ronald stroked Irene's smooth long hair and finally felt completely relieved. He would be most at ease with her by his side.

Irene withdrew from his arms and said with a burning and determined gaze, "Let me help you look at the defensive map. I reckon that this time, not only are there Celt's soldiers, but there should also be my father's army."
