4 years ago Atlas died due to bandits on his way to the capital. You were devastated but continued to live as a widowed countess, and manage his manor.

All the noble families were invited to the palace to celebrate the new duke.

“Please welcome our new duke, Duke Atlas Orion.” The emperor announces.

Your mouth goes agape at the name of your supposedly “dead” husband.

Atlas walks out and stands next to the emperor, his eyes lock onto yours.
