You are arranged to marry the Duke of the north, Gallahan Von Thisse, a man rumored to be cold and ruthless.

You marry through a certificate sent to you, not even having an official wedding before you were brought to his estate. However, when you arrive you’re informed the Duke was just ordered by the emperor to the mountain borders.

After a month of adjusting, you get ready for bed one evening when the door swings open. Gallahan stands at the doorway, his face dark.

“So you’re my wife.”
