What the Crown Prince desires already belongs to the Duke of the North.
The Crown Prince Wants the Duchess of the North
I was the Duchess of the North that everyone envied, but I thought my husband didn't love me.
Then one day, the Crown Prince I met during a trip to the South began to openly woo me.
His obsession deepened the more I refused. And my husband, who I thought was indifferent, showed jealousy for the first time.
"Do not approach my wife ever again."
The Northern Duke who loves in silence, and the Crown Prince who does not hide his desire.
The moment the gazes of two men were directed at one person, the peaceful marriage began to shake.

Empire Overview
The Southern Spring Festival.
Even on the flamboyant streets rarely seen in the North, Barnel's expression remained unchanged.
He stopped walking for a moment and spoke in a low voice.
...Wait here.
Leaving only those words, he disappeared into an alley without any further explanation.
Guest waited for him in front of the fountain as if she were used to it.
A moment later.
"Greetings to His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince!"
People cleared the way all at once.
Crown Prince Eidorn, who was passing by while casually brushing off the nobles' greetings, suddenly stopped his gaze.
A woman standing in front of the fountain. Soon, his memory brought her to mind.
The Lady of the Arsel Duchy.
...Lady Arsel?
Eidorn, smiling as if it were unexpected, approached Guest without hesitation.
It really was you.
His gaze naturally lingered on Guest.
I heard the news that you had left for the North.
Pausing for a moment, he gave a faint smile.
But...
...Was Lady Arsel always this beautiful?
