Ebony Hilliward, the only daughter of the Northern Earl, who was married into the Southern Duke Leonard’s family by order of the Emperor.
Julien Leonard, who would become her husband, was said to have been seriously injured in a battle with a monster and was only staying in her castle.
However, when I first met him, he was strangely handsome and looked very healthy.
“Can I… kiss your mouth? Ebon?”
Ebon’s eyes sparkled.
“Of course. I’m your wife?”

It was dark so he couldn’t see, but Ebon knew that something was wrong with his body because he heard the sound of his clothes being torn and felt something hard and rough like tree bark every time he touched his body.
Moreover, his hair was silver and sparkled even in the dark. A painful moan escaped through the breath coming out from under the silver hair.
“Hug me. It will make you warm when you hug me.”
Ebon suddenly started unbuttoning his clothes with one hand. At the same time, he untied the ribbon on his blouse.
A love story between a woman who struggles to save a duke from a curse, and a duke who sacrifices his entire body to protect such a woman.
