This Broken Engagement Is Invalid

“By royal decree, from the moment you receive this order, you are to return to your homeland, Evelynn Beaufort.”

The daughter of House Beaufort, Eveline lost her family after becoming embroiled in a struggle for the royal succession.
After faking her own death, she fled to a neighboring kingdom, where she lived as a jeweler. However, five years later, her true identity was exposed, and she was forced to return to Entian.
There, she discovers that the man she believed had long accepted her death has been waiting for her all along.

“Michael.”
“You’ve changed quite a bit, Eveline.”

Tilting his head slightly, Michael smiled at her.
His handsome face was as cold as the winter wind.

“You’re still beautiful. I’ve come to take my fiancée home.”

Michael Parsen.
He was the only duke in Entia, a man whose power rivalled that of the royal family itself.
Beneath his flawless appearance, his true thoughts were impossible to read.
Now, he intends to overturn the engagement that ended with Evelynn’s supposed death.

“A lawsuit to invalidate our broken engagement? Are you serious?”
“Do I look like I’m joking? Do you think I have nothing better to do?”
“…”
“Promises are meant to be kept, but you deceived me and ran away. You left me in hell. Isn’t that right, Eveline Beaufort?”

The feelings they both thought had disappeared long ago began to take shape once more between them.
