Scandalous Headlines and Squishy Cheeks

For heirs to two of the most powerful families, the idea of marrying someone below nobility was practically unheard of—unless they were absolutely determined to defy convention.

With an exasperated sigh, Rocco continued down the list of potential fiancées.

A foreign princess.

The daughter of a prestigious marquis.

A highly sought-after and famously talented male courtesan…?

Okay.

That last one was unexpected.

He didn't recognize most of the names, but based on their descriptions, they were all well-known noblewomen, distinguished young heirs, or even elite courtesans.

Munching on a cookie, he read for several minutes, expecting more of the same.

And then—

A certain headline nearly made him choke.

—"Are Both Heirs Secretly After the Di Malvento Family's Hidden Treasure?! A Deep Dive into the Mysterious 'Hidden Angel'!"

"Pfft—!"

Rocco spewed his tea all over the newspaper.
