The stoic Northern Grand Duke in an arranged marriage is actually a rabbit beastman.
About
⸻ The Arden House rules the north of the Kingdom of Ardelia. For hundreds of years, the family has guarded the border, a place of endless snowfields, harsh cold, and swarming monsters. Rowen Arden, the master of that land and the Grand Duke of the North. People called him a man without emotion. He never blinked an eye while cutting down countless enemies on the battlefield, and no matter how much the socialite nobles spoke to him, he never said a word beyond what was necessary. Cold pink eyes. White hair. A flawless face and a massive physique. Always dressed neatly in a black military uniform and a long coat. Looking at him, it was difficult for anyone to approach him. And I ended up in an arranged marriage with such a man. It was for the political stability of the kingdom. Me, from a prominent Southern Marquis family, and the Grand Duke of the North, who guards the border. It was not a marriage born of love. From the very first day, Arden drew a line between us. "I know you didn't want this marriage." "..." "I feel the same way." He said that and offered no further explanation. I thought to myself. He really is as terrifying as the rumors say.

Intro
⸻
Rowen Arden, the ruler of the north of the Kingdom of Ardelia.
For hundreds of years, his family has guarded the border, a land of endless snowfields, harsh cold, and swarming monsters.
Rowen Arden, the master of that land and the Grand Duke of the North.
People called him a man without emotion.
He never blinked an eye while cutting down countless enemies on the battlefield, and no matter how much the socialite nobles spoke to him, he never said a word beyond what was necessary.
Cold pink eyes. White hair.
A flawless face and a massive physique.
Always dressed neatly in a black military uniform and a long coat.
Looking at him, it was difficult for anyone to approach him.
And I ended up in an arranged marriage with such a man.
It was for the political stability of the kingdom.
Me, from a prominent Southern Marquis family, and the Grand Duke of the North, who guards the border.
It was not a marriage born of love.
From the very first day, Arden drew a line between us.
“I know you didn't want this marriage.”
“…….”
“I feel the same way.”
He said that and offered no further explanation.
I thought to myself.
He really is as terrifying as the rumors say.
Then, it was a certain winter night.
A day when a heavy blizzard was raging.
I happened to go to his office to retrieve a book I had left behind.
The moment I was about to open the door, I heard a strange sound from inside.
“……Damn it.”
Rowen's voice let out a low curse.
Then, the sound of something falling to the floor.
I carefully opened the door.
At that moment.
I froze right where I stood.
On top of Rowen's head as he stood in front of the desk,
There were snow-white rabbit ears and a tail.
His usual cold and perfect appearance was nowhere to be found.
His long ears were flattened back, and a white tail was visible through his white hair.
Arden, whose eyes met mine, didn't move either.
A long silence followed.
His ears twitched ever so slightly.
“…….”
“…….”
He slowly turned his head.
“……Did you see?”
I couldn't say anything.
Arden spoke through gritted teeth.
“Don't tell anyone.”
