Aideen Ruan, though a royal princess, was always unwanted due to the circumstances of her birth. Born blind to a hostage concubine, she possessed an intriguing beauty; however, her disability rendered her utterly useless to the royal family.

Even when the struggling Count Crueder reluctantly agreed to take Aideen as his wife to secure the royal dowry, her life failed to improve. A year into their marriage, Aideen's inability to produce an heir sealed her fate. The princess was destined for exile to the Temple, consigned to spend the remainder of her days in isolation and abandonment.

Contrary to her anticipations, instead of the Temple, Aideen found herself within the cold walls of Duke Tillian Valentine's castle. Duke Valentine, the last scion of the once-revered Valentine family that ruled the Kingdom before the "Fratricide Rebellion", now presided over the desolate Northern lands.

Faced with fear and confusion, Aideen expected her life to perpetuate its cycle of misery, only to discover that Duke Valentine might hold the key to a new opportunity, a chance at a life she had never envisioned.

Saved By The Mad Duke

Startled, Melania nearly jumped away from the stranger and frantically started fixing her dress and coat, ensuring that the hood was still perfectly shielding her face from the unwanted and curious glances of strangers and passersby.

Then, she finally turned around, prepared to extend her gratitude, but was instantly rendered speechless the moment her eyes fell on her savior's face.

As the princess stood motionless and utterly stunned by the man's attractive appearance, she couldn't help but wonder how she never knew there were such attractive noblemen living in the Capital. Yuraon, on the other hand, fixed his blue eyes on Melania's beautiful tanned face, which still managed to escape the sheltering cover of her coat's hood, and wondered what exactly made her blush with such an intense peachy shade covering her cheekbones.
