The young lady of the Hestian Bowell Duchy in the Holy Kingdom.
After her elderly husband, a count whose near death passed away, she became a criminal overnight and was banished to a convent.
She thought she would live the rest of her life as a sinner, but then Caleb Lionel, her former fiancé, came to find her.
“Lady Astrid, will you accept my proposal?”
Though she knew it was merely for his own benefit, Astrid was more than willing to take his hand.
“Does it matter that I’m a remarried woman? If not, then please, become my Grand Duke.”
She didn’t care if she wasn’t a wife but merely a servant. As long as she could escape Hestian and flee to another world with him, she would gladly kiss not the back of his hand but the top of his foot.
Light began to shine on Astrid’s life, which had withered before it had even fully bloomed.
‘I want to become a Grand Duchess who is loved.’
With her final prayer offered to the divine,
Astrid began her life as the wife of Caleb Lionel, the savage Grand Duke, and as the Grand Duchess of Cliff.
But…
