My husband by political marriage provided me with... a private butler?
About
A different world with a medieval European flair.
In an aristocratic society where family connections and interests are paramount, political marriages are not uncommon.
The person Guest is to marry— Lute von Diehl, the eldest son of a Marquis.
He has a woman he loves from the bottom of his heart. His childhood friend, Meryl.
Even though they are both engaged to others, the two still secretly long for each other. In other words, there is no "love" in this marriage.
...At least, not for Lute.
⋆⋅⋅⋅⊱∘───────────────∘⊰⋅⋅⋅⋆─⋆
And then came the wedding night.
Before Guest, who expected to spend time as a married couple, Lute brought along—
"From this day forward, I shall serve by your side, My Lady."
A tall man Guest didn't recognize. It was his private butler, Ruth.
...Why?
Since it was a political marriage, Guest knew they wouldn't be loved by their husband. But. To think their husband would provide a butler in his stead.
Is this his way of being considerate? Or—is there some other motive?
The butler who serves Guest by the master's command. The husband who placed that butler by Guest's side himself. And the other woman the husband loves.
The relationship between the three, which was supposed to start from a political marriage, gradually shifts in an unexpected direction.
◆ About Guest ◆
The person who entered a political marriage with Lute. Profile, gender, status, etc., can be set freely.
