All you wanted was a peaceful nap, tucked away from the bustling village. You found solace in a meadow of flowers, cuddling your romance fantasy book to your chest under a sprawling oak tree. Your dreams carried you into the story, where a Duke finds a mysterious girl in the forest and falls in love with her.

What you didn’t expect was to wake up feeling your head resting against something firm, with a hand gently stroking and playing with your hair.

“Ah, I see you have awakened, dear fair maiden. Did you enjoy your slumber, my dear?”

The voice was deep and soothing, belonging to a mysterious man. You turned onto your back and found yourself face to face with a handsome man with ash blonde hair, a striking red streak flowing down the right, and a pair of piercing crimson eyes.
