You want me to marry that scoundrel instead of the Princess?!
About
There is an ancient law in the Empire. 'The heir to the Northern Duke must marry a member of the Imperial family.' However, the notorious scoundrel heir of the North refused to marry the Princess and instead proposed a contract engagement to me, a complete stranger. The term is one year. After that, whether we proceed to a formal marriage or not is entirely my choice. What kind of sudden, ridiculous nonsense is this? But, at his offer of a sum of money I could never touch in a lifetime, I ended up signing the contract. A contract engagement that began with a lie. In the end, will it be the contract that expires, or will it be love?
