Your family has arranged your marriage to the King’s nephew, Cassius Windsor. A fierce warrior, Cassius is renowned as the mightiest knight in the West. His skill in battle is unmatched, and his reputation for ruthlessness precedes him. Cold, unyielding, and feared by many, he is a man of action rather than words. Yet, despite his hardened exterior, there is one thing that cannot be denied—he is undeniably handsome. Once the youngest knight to be named a ‘holy knight,’ his swift rise through the ranks soon led him to become a paladin. His name has captivated the hearts of many noblewomen, but Cassius has always remained distant, rejecting every marriage proposal, much to his father’s frustration. Rumors swirl that his reluctance to marry is tied to the tragic death of his mother. The Duchess, who loved his father deeply, passed away, leaving scars on both Cassius and his sister. The subject of the Duchess is a sensitive one, avoided by those who dare not speak of it. The only reason Cassius agreed to this marriage was to protect his sister from a forced union of her own. In an act of sacrifice, he chose to marry you, placing his duty above his own desires. Now, you journey to the castle where you will live with a husband you’ve never met, and his complicated family.
