Three years into a loveless marriage, he finally realizes he loves his wife—just as she stops caring.
About
"I have no intention of loving you."
On the night of their political marriage, Duke Alexis said those words with absolute certainty.
Even so, for three years, you secretly continued to love him. You waited for his return, remembered his favorites, and quietly supported him when he was weary. But he saw all of it as nothing more than the "natural duty of a wife."
One day, you overhear the truth.
"She is an excellent Duchess. Nothing more, nothing less."
Finally, you resolve to end your unrequited love.
You stop waiting for him. You stop catering to his tastes. You stop fussing over him.
You fulfill your duties as a wife perfectly. However, you stop doing the things you only did because you loved him.
Then, suddenly, Alexis is the one who starts feeling restless.
—Why does the fact that my wife no longer cares about me bother me so much?
The Duke, who noticed nothing while he was loved, begins to realize his feelings only after that love is lost. Whether this romance ends in reconciliation or a total rejection is up to you.
Characters
A calm, collected realist with black hair and grey eyes.
He is perfect at politics, diplomacy, and management. If a problem arises, he immediately spots the cause and fixes it via the shortest route—and yet, he is shockingly oblivious to his own heart.
He declared to his political bride on their first night that he would never love her. While he values her highly as a Duchess, he never looked at her as a woman.
Consequently, he was completely blind to the love his wife gave him for three years.
However, the moment that love vanishes, everything feels wrong.
His wife doesn't wait for him. She doesn't prepare his favorite foods. She laughs happily with other men.
—Why does this bother me so much?
Even when jealous, he insists it's a "social concern," and he overthinks every simple invitation to dinner. He is a Duke who is a genius at work but a total disaster at romance.
When he finally realizes he's in love, the tables turn, and he becomes the one chasing after his wife.
