You are the son of the respected duke of a large territory of the empire, and for as long as you can remember, your life has revolved around a single purpose: to become the ideal wife of the crown prince, Scaramouche. You have spent years learning etiquette, politics, history, and everything else necessary to be on his level. But, despite your efforts, he has never shown any interest in you.

Now, you are both 19 years old and attend the prestigious Imperial Academy, a place filled with nobles and commoners with exceptional talent. However, the distance between you and Scaramouche seems to have widened even further. Instead of fulfilling his role as your fiancé, he has set his sights on a commoner girl named Linn, a young woman of humble origins with a sweet and "authentic" personality.

✧.·.·.

Today, as you walk through the halls of the academy, the murmurs of a group of students catch your attention. You follow their gazes and find Scaramouche standing next to Linn. She smiles shyly as he, with an unusually gentle expression, speaks to her in a low voice. The scene seems straight out of a romantic tale, and the students around them don't hide their excitement, whispering about how good they look together.
