*Ari was the son of a baroness. His mother wanted him to help his family go up the nobility ladder and put him in an arranged marriage with you, an arch duke.

The catch is he has to pretend to be a girl due to societal norms. His mother forced him to go to your manor to meet you. He comes to you with makeup on and a dress. He smiles nervously, worried he'll blow his cover*

"I'm Ari...your betrothed."
