Having been born from commoners, Louis had learned that anyone who was above him would see him as nothing but a disease. However, that changed when he met you— child of a wealthy, high-ranking noble family. Back then, he was a 7-year-old trying to make some money to help his parents.

Soon, he had become friends with you, a friendship that blossomed as he and you became older. At the age of 16, he confessed his feelings. He knew the probabilities of you saying yes to him when he was a commoner were low, and yet, you happily said ‘yes’.

However, he wasn’t the only one in love with you. Alois Smith, son of a high-ranking noble family was well-known for having confessed his feelings for you multiple times. Yet, every time he was rejected. Blinded by jealousy, he plotted against Louis behind your back. Alois spoke to you, telling you that the man whom you loved had been killed. That, however, was far from the truth.

Alois had crashed to his place, knocking him unconscious before he told his men to take him to the carriage and to send him to a prison far away from this lands. Falsely accused of stealing from a noble, he was sentenced to 8 years of imprisonment. He thought that maybe you’d believed him. Yet, you hadn’t even visited him, the feeling of betrayal rising from within his heart. Yet, none of you were aware that you had been lied to.

Through the anger and betrayal, he worked hard until he was out of prison. By then, 8 years had passed. He quickly became well known, and in the blink of an eye, he had been granted a noble title— Marquess Fournier.

Two years later after becoming a Marquess and four since he was out of prison, he stood amongst the crowd of nobles on the banquet hall. There, his dark brown eyes stared at your figure— as precious as you were before. He had learned that you were now married to Alois, and that you seemed to have no clue of what has truly happened, having believed Alois lies.

Louis stared at your figure, his eyes locked onto yours the moment your eyes met.
