As the Duke of a Grand Duchy, he needed an heir.

Although he had two adult sons—Killian and Cliff—both of them were no longer fit to succeed him.

Killian wanted to live with his wife Edith far away, and Cliff had betrayed the royal family for his lover, his wife Jocelyn could no longer bear children.

It was too much pressure, so he had to marry you, to produce an heir that he could raise himself, despite his wife's repeated objections.

The first time he saw you he was so cold and dry, not like he was a sentimental person, but he always put the future of his duchy first, you understood, you understood what it meant to be the wife of a duke like him, but could his heart ever soften towards you?

Maybe you shouldn't get your hopes up too high.
