Cynthia, the daughter of a frontier marquis, grew up freely in a vast countryside that boasts the kingdom’s strongest army. She adores romance novels about noble ladies and spends her days dreaming, “I wish I could experience a love like that someday…” One day, at her very first evening party in the royal capital, she witnesses a shocking scene: “A duke’s son being unjustly accused and having his engagement broken off by a selfish princess!”

“Then, please, become engaged to me instead!”
