Marquess’s daughter Tiana and Crown Prince Lagiras were deeply in love and had vowed to remain chaste until their wedding day.
But one day, without warning, Lagiras announces that he is breaking off their engagement because he intends to marry Tiana’s cousin, Serage, instead.
After this heartbreaking betrayal, Lagiras and the once-close Serage marry and become the king and queen.
Three years pass.
Living a quiet life in a rural fief, far from the royal capital, Tiana is suddenly summoned to the palace.
Angry that the people who betrayed her now have the audacity to call for her, she reluctantly answers the summons.
There, the Chancellor delivers a shocking order:
“You are to become His Majesty Lagiras’s partner for producing an heir.”
Tiana wants nothing to do with the former fiancé who cast her aside. Their relationship ended long ago…
…or so she thought.
