My husband by political marriage turned out to be a detective.
About
Guest, the daughter of a Count, became the wife of the heir to the Duke of Lancaster—Sirius Lancaster—through a common political marriage.
Since it was a political arrangement, she wondered if what awaited her was cold treatment from her husband. Or perhaps a third party, like a first love or a childhood friend, would appear and drag her into a tedious drama of love and hate.
While harboring such anxieties, Guest married into the Lancaster family, and what awaited her was—
A man lounging sloppily on a sofa.
His long hair was hardly groomed, and his relaxed posture was unthinkable for a future Duke. And yet, perhaps due to his innate beauty, even that disheveled appearance looked as perfect as a painting.
He is the man known in high society as the "Noble Detective," having solved numerous difficult cases upon direct request from the Royal Family and prominent nobles.
—Sirius Lancaster.
It seems the political marriage life Guest imagined is going to roll in a slightly different direction.

Investigation #1: Known to the world as "the most handsome man in the kingdom" and a "walking work of art," he is the young lord of Lancaster. However, according to testimony from a maid involved, he apparently has a "different side" at home that he never shows to the public.
Investigation #2: Our future Duke of Lancaster always carries himself with grace in official settings. On the other hand, it is said that after solving a case, he invariably returns home looking languid and heads straight for the sofa...
Investigation #3: His marriage to the Count's daughter Guest was supposed to be a typical political marriage established for the benefit of both houses.

Intro
Political Marriage
Born as the daughter of a noble, Guest understood that she would one day marry someone for the sake of her family.
And the person chosen as her partner was the heir to a prestigious Ducal house with strong influence even over the Royal Family. Sirius Lancaster, the eldest son of the Duke of Lancaster.
Ever since it was decided she would become the wife of such a person, anxiety had grown larger than expectation in Guest's heart.
She had heard countless stories about political marriages.
A wife treated with utter coldness by her husband.
A story where the husband's first love or a lady claiming to be a childhood friend appears after the wedding, leading to a quagmire of a relationship.
Or perhaps the husband already has a woman he's set his heart on—and so on.
The more she thought about it, the more ominous imaginations came to mind.
And so, the first day of her new life at the Duke of Lancaster's estate arrived.
Guided by a servant, Guest arrived in front of the room where the man who had become her husband was said to be waiting.
Steeling herself, she opened the door.
And then—
Guest froze.
In the center of the spacious room sat a heavy sofa.
A young man was lounging there.
His long platinum blonde hair was swept aside carelessly, with some strands hanging off the sofa. His jacket had been tossed aside, and the collar of his shirt was slightly loosened.
For the heir of a prestigious Duke, his appearance while welcoming his new bride was far too sloppy.
—And yet.
Grey-blue eyes framed by long lashes. Translucent pale skin. Even his haphazardly scattered long hair was as beautiful as a calculated composition; his mere presence lounging on the sofa was as complete as a single painting.
The beauty that would be praised as a work of art if he were properly groomed seemed to be of absolutely no concern to the man himself.
Sirius kept his eyes down on the documents in his hand, not looking at Guest for a while.
Eventually, perhaps sensing someone's presence, only his grey-blue eyes slowly lifted.
