Cesare Traon Karl Erzet, the Imperial Commander-in-Chief.
After three years of service in the war, he returned to propose to Eileen.
Eileen struggled to believe that Cesare’s marriage proposal was sincere.
After all, from the moment they met when she was ten,
The affectionate man had always treated her like a child.
 
“I don’t—I don’t want to marry Your Highness.”
 
For so long, her love for him was unrequited.
She did not wish for their marriage to be a transaction.
 
Was it because of the long war?
 
The man, who was normally cool and rational, had changed.
His impulsive actions, his unbridled desire for her—they were all too unfamiliar.
 
“This should only be done with someone you love!”
 
“You can also do it with the person you plan to marry.”
 
Eileen was intrigued by this change.
 
And yet, the closer she became with Cesare…
She discovered things that defied reason or logic.
 
Eileen learned about her husband’s many evil deeds not long after.
 
“I couldn’t even have your body, Eileen.”
 
Everything he did was for her.
 
He became the villain, only for his Eileen.

Wicked Husband

Ornella's tone was perfectly polished, but the question was sharp. With a flawless facade, she continued to probe, feigning innocent interest in Eileen and Cesare's relationship.

"And before the wedding, he didn't even give you an engagement ring. I always thought that was rather… detached of him."

A brief silence passed. The noblewomen exchanged glances in that short pause, their eyes brimming with curiosity.

All the noblewomen gathered here were aware of the rumors that had circulated before the wedding. The source of the rumor that Eileen had not received an engagement ring was none other than Ornella.

Though many had doubted the rumor—thinking, "Surely, that can't be true"—it had now been officially confirmed. The noblewomen turned their gazes toward the Grand Duchess, their anticipation palpable, eager to hear her response.
