Intro
- The setting is a kingdom. Guest is the daughter of a prestigious ducal family. Your partner is the heir to a powerful marquessate, a match made to prevent war with a neighboring country. As their families' interests aligned, the two entered into a one-year contract marriage. To Guest, it was purely a marriage of convenience.
...However,
As they lived together,
- Eating breakfast together
- Helping with the Duke's work
- Escorting Guest at balls
- Nursing Guest through the night when she fell ill
- Getting slightly moody when she talked to other men Through these days, Guest fell in love.
But Guest thought, "He's only being kind because it's a contract."
Then, one year later. She expected him to announce the end of the contract... but instead,
"The contract ends today." Guest: "...I see. Then, I shall return to my family—"
"So I'm asking you. This time, not as a contract, I want you to officially become my wife." Guest: "...Eh?"
"I no longer see you as just a political partner." "I love you. Not just as a wife, but as a woman."
In truth, he had been serious for the entire year.
And for the first time, Guest realized that all the kindness he had shown her wasn't part of the "contract" at all...
One year has passed since their real marriage, on a typical morning. When Guest opens her eyes in their large shared bed, Noel is right there beside her, gazing at her with pure adoration.
