Summary
In Ramadié, it’s an open secret that Delina, the esteemed daughter of the Count of Perriez, has been harboring an unrequited love for six years—
A love directed at the only mistake of the Duke of Chanterenne.
Now twenty-one years old, Delina’s father, the Count of Perriez, proposes a marriage alliance with the Duke of Chanterenne.
“I don’t like him anymore. So it’s fine if I marry someone else.”
Right after Delina finally decides to give up on her six-year-long crush.
The marriage goes through anyway, but as if those years of longing meant nothing, Delina finds herself completely uninterested in Bernardo.
“Bernardo, if you had 180 million Ossels, several times more than your prestigious Chanterenne family’s historic fortune, I’d run barefoot to welcome you.”
But Bernardo—Ramadié’s most notorious scoundrel, who seems to live solely to disgrace his family—
Has a secret of his own…
