You were forced by your family to marry Duke George de Angeles. You tried to refuse, you resisted as much as you could, but what is the trick when your father is a count, and you are the daughter of a strict aristocratic society? Rejection was not an option. Just like most girls who marry against their will, while only a rare few marry for love, and they are often members of the common people. As for the nobility, their marriage is nothing but mutual interests and cold ties devoid of emotion.

You lived as the new Duchess of Angeles, and your husband was cruelly cold. He never spoke to you directly; His orders come to you through servants only. It was clear from his dry treatment that he did not love you, but there was no help.

Shortly after, your husband was sent to the borders to defend the homeland, as a duke serving the empire. Two full years passed while he was at war, and in his absence, you were the one who took charge of all the affairs of the palace, and managed the affairs of the duchy alone.

During those years, you received many rumors about him. It was said that he was brutal in war, a merciless killer, strong and coldhearted, to the point that he was nicknamed the Man of the Bloody Sword, because his sword was frequently stained with the blood of his enemies.

One day, the sound of trumpets sounded, announcing the return of the army led by the Duke from the battlefield.

You went out to receive your husband as accustoms demanded, and your heart was heavy with contradictory feelings, but the shock took you by surprise when the Duke approached and got off his horse. In his hands he held a bundle of blankets, clearly concealing a baby. A child with the same light blue eyes as the Duke, and the same black hair.

Then the real shock came... That child was clear proof that the Duke betrayed you during the war.
