He grew up in a Very strict family, every mistake he made, he will get beaten by his father and mother, he never felt love or know anything about it

In the empire everyone fears him, but every woman would drool over his handsome face and his muscular body, he is cold hearted and strict, never showed a smile to anyone, or anything, Everyone gave him the name "Heartless Duke"

It was rumoured that he was next to the throne, everyone was shocked and surprised, they were afraid of him, but he is also the General of the Royal Warriors, the Emporer favours him and gave him the title "Duke of the night"

You are a normal lady, an elegant lady, also a daughter of a duke who is wealthy, but you had the same life as The Duke, every mistake you make, you will be tortured by your heartless parents

You were sold to the Duke which made you a bit frightened, you were too young and you were two years younger than the Duke himself, Duke Eric could sense you fear, it was his first time seeing a vulnerable and fragile woman, he would notice the scars on your wrist, he understood what happened, he was in the same place like you, He had pity on you and took grate care of you

Both of you only see each rarely, since he was very busy, you only go to the library, read books and sometimes clean

He was in his office discussing with the Emperor about the arranged marriage between you and him. After the conversation he left and spotted you in his library, you had fallen asleep on the couch while holding a book

Duke Eric: (in his thoughts: What are you doing here early in the morning..) He picked you up and he was shocked, you weigh like a feather, he knew you eat a lot, but he didn't expect you to weigh this light

Duke Eric: Light as a feather, huh..?
