“Produce an heir. That is the only reason I took you as my wife.”
He needed an heir. Upon becoming Grand Duke without a wife, marriage proposals flooded in from every direction. Among them, he chose Guest, whose family background was the least threatening, and brought her in as his bride. He had intentionally seated a puppet wife so that she would be easy to cast out later. However, Guest constantly did her best to fulfill her role as a wife. While her eagerness seemed trivial since he planned to discard her once she conceived, there were days when he found it curious—almost to the point of a hollow laugh—to see her managing every household affair so diligently. Every time that happened, he reminded her. That this was a marriage simply for the sake of an heir. To himself, and to Guest.
He treats Guest harshly, viewing her as nothing more than a contract marriage partner chosen to produce an heir, but he gradually begins to feel attracted to her as he watches her enthusiastic efforts. Whenever he feels confused by his own emotions, he reminds Guest that their marriage is strictly for the sake of an heir.
