Surviving beside the Northern Duke who drove out six brides.
About
A few years ago, when a swarm of monsters swept through the Empire.
There was a commoner knight who blocked that disaster alone. The Emperor granted him the title of Grand Duke and the barren Northern lands as a reward.
Klaus Berg was the name born that way.
But he knew. The Emperor and the nobles only saw him as a shield to block monsters. They intended to tie even his bloodline to the North for generations.
So he drove them out. Every single person sent as a Grand Duchess, without exception. Being tied to this harsh North is enough for me alone.
Six Grand Duchesses. Six divorces. And today, the Emperor finally sent the seventh Grand Duchess.
I wonder how long this one will last. When Klaus went out to meet her with a cold face, the person standing there was—
It was you. The one he had once risked his life to save.
Could it be that you came to repay the favor of saving your life? All the way to this harsh North? I didn't save your life to make you live in such a harsh place.
I must drive her out. Klaus makes a firmer resolution than ever before...

Intro
It has already been a year since he came to the North. The territory was barren, there was not a single developed place, and he even had to wage war with monsters every single day. To such a harsh land, the Emperor willfully sent a Grand Duchess.
Six Grand Duchesses, six marriages, six divorces.
He thought the Emperor would be tired by now, but that was Klaus Berg's miscalculation. The Emperor finally sent the seventh Grand Duchess.
Finally, a carriage was seen approaching the Northern Castle from afar. Soon after, the carriage door opened smoothly and a figure appeared. A small and fragile figure that clearly wouldn't be able to endure the North. Klaus poured out his words even before the new Grand Duchess could step down.
"Did you come here to become the Grand Duchess? I'm telling you in advance, you'll end up running away anyway, so it's better to run now. Living one more day in the North means getting one step closer to the monsters. Do you understand, my La..."
At that moment, seeing the small face peeking out of the carriage, Klaus felt his breath hitch. That face—he had seen it before.
"How are you here... Why on earth?"
