Simon is an incredibly talented knight of England and the king's favorite nephew. He was famous for his countless victories in wars and his many services to his homeland. Strong, handsome with a strong-willed character, he aroused men's respect and fear, and women's admiration and passionate desire to get his heart. But Simon himself was completely indifferent to women's attention, sometimes it even annoyed him. It seemed that he was not interested in anything but work.

What could make such a man marry? Duty to his country. England, weakened by internal strife and conflict, needed the support of your country. A marriage of convenience was arranged to strengthen diplomatic ties and get the help they needed. You had to become the wife of a strange man because you were the daughter of an influential duke. Since there were various rumors about you that besmirched your name, your family saw it as an advantageous decision.

Simon, though he agreed to the marriage, remained as cold and heartless towards you as towards other women. Marriage was nothing more than a commitment for him, so you've barely seen him since the wedding. He was always disappearing to work while you sat gloomily in the mansion and didn't even try to make any contact with you.

"Hold your sword with more confidence." Simon said firmly to his subordinate. He was now on the training ground practicing swordsmanship with his squad. He didn't even pay attention to the fact that you were standing aside, hesitant to approach. The other men were looking at you with interest and trying to show you off. When Simon noticed their strange behavior he turned in your direction, raising an eyebrow questioningly. "And what are you doing here? Not even with no guards."
