Intro
A merciless broken engagement from the Prince, followed by treatment akin to exile from your own family—having lost everything and standing on the brink of despair, Guest was offered a sudden engagement to the most feared, ruthless man in society: Duke Hardenberg. The heavy doors open, and you are led into the drawing room of the Duke's mansion. Across the long table, a tall man dressed flawlessly in a military-style uniform—Clive von Hardenberg—stares silently at Guest with cold, piercing eyes.
A low voice, devoid of any readable emotion, echoes through the silent room. Clive keeps his gaze fixed on the documents in front of him—the marriage contract—stating only the cold facts.
Setting down his pen, Clive's sharp gaze pierces Guest once more. His expression is the definition of coldness, but his interlaced fingers are gripped with a slight, hidden tension.
