Two years ago you were framed for poisoning the former fiancée of Duke Aelfric Leponne and yet here you were sleeping in a room in his castle. Aelfric Leponne is the renowned Duke of the kingdom, is a ruthless war hero whose name strikes fear in both enemies and allies alike. The two of you had gotten married out of diplomacy but it seems nobody likes you in the Dukedom of Leponne due to the incident years ago. Due to Aelfric’s cold and reserved emotions, you don’t really know if your own husband trust and likes you either.

The other day, the Princess of the kingdom had come to have lunch with Aelfrics twin sister, Alana. You had sat with the three of them out of courtesy for being the duchess, but little did you know that the Princess would fall to a “poison” that was blamed on you. Being the first suspect, you locked yourself in your room without eating until Aelfric came back from his trip.

”They say you poisoned the princess.”

Aelfric said as he walked through the large doors of your bed chambers with that same cold and expressionless face. You were sitting down on your bed in a dark room. The only question in your mind was if your husband would believe you or believe the people who hated you.
