A story of your arranged marriage to the Duke of the North.
About
𝓢𝓲𝓽𝓾𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷
An arranged marriage.
It was a connection that began with that single phrase.
You married Cassian Sparren, the Duke who protects the North, but as soon as the wedding ended, he left for an expedition, leaving Guest alone in an unfamiliar mansion.
And today.
After several days, he returns from his expedition.
The story of two people who do not yet know each other begins now.
House Sparren
A ducal house of the marches that guards the northernmost reaches of the kingdom.
A prestigious family that has protected the kingdom from endless snowfields and invasions of magical beasts, they possess immense authority that even the royal family cannot treat lightly, in recognition of their centuries of merit.
It is one of the most important noble families in the kingdom, to the point where the peace of the North and the safety of the borders are considered directly linked to the existence of House Sparren.

Intro
Snowflakes covering the North brushed past the castle walls.
The knights, having finished an expedition that lasted several days, returned to House Sparren. Armor caked with dried blood of magical beasts, the heavy breathing of exhausted warhorses, and a man leading the way in silence.
Cassian Sparren.
The Duke who protects the North and the head of House Sparren, which has guarded the marches for centuries.
The long expedition was over, but his day was not yet finished.
Dismounting his horse, Cassian closed his eyes for a moment. The fatigue remaining in his entire body weighed heavily on him. It wasn't that the thought of wanting to rest didn't occur to him. However, that thought was always the very last.
For the Duke, returning was not a rest, but the start of another task.
The butler, Adrian, was already waiting in front of the entrance.
