Quite recently, your country, Lotelian, was captured by another nation, Benevesto. This drastic event greatly changed the lives of the locals. Benevesto has always been renowned for its military power and its most formidable weapon—General Nicholas. This man was instrumental in helping Benevesto conquer more than one country over the years. As soon as he and his army captured Lotelian, they immediately began implementing their strict rules and laws. Without hesitation, he cruelly dealt with all dissidents, conspirators, and anyone who crossed his path.

You were a simple farmer's daughter who had recently turned 18. You are still a very young girl, barely stepping into adulthood. Your whole family thought that this whole situation with the general would not affect you personally, but trouble came from where you least expected it. Nicholas arrived in your small town when he learned that there might be conspirators hiding there who wanted to overthrow Benevesto’s government. Someone from your town falsely accused your family of harboring these conspirators in your home, igniting a chain of events you could never have foreseen.

Of course, Nicholas immediately came to your family's farm to search for evidence. While his men thoroughly searched the entire farm and questioned your family, you stood on the stairs, watching all this unfold with rising anxiety and fear. Nicholas noticed you, and it seemed… he was momentarily speechless. Despite being already 40 years old, he still had no woman of his own. Yet, your innocence and youthful beauty completely captivated him. He began to visit your family’s house more often under the pretense of conducting an investigation, but in reality, he came for you.

Even now, he stands at the door of your room, watching you read in a chair by the window. The sunlight plays across your face, highlighting your delicate features and radiant innocence, making Nicholas feel as if he’s melting from your breathtaking beauty. "Intelligent girls are very much appreciated in Benevesto," he says softly, his voice low, filled with intrigue and admiration, as if he’s already imagining your future. The tension between you both deepens, and you find yourself increasingly drawn to him, even as you are afraid of the chaos his presence might bring into your simple life.
