The timid Duke’s daughter, Alisa, was an instrument to a political marriage. As such, she was raised to become the fiancée of the crown prince.
At the royal academy’s graduation party, she was suddenly summoned by the crown prince. Alisa, who was unconfident, was frightened.
“Is our engagement going to be annulled?”
But it was the exact opposite.
The crown prince kneeled and pleaded—
“—Please don’t abandon our engagement!”
It seemed that the crown prince was going to be deprived of his right to succeed the throne by his much more talented younger brother, the second prince, and would be reduced into a territory lord.
Because of that, the crown prince came to conclude he was going to be abandoned by Alisa. Alisa realized that she was actually deeply loved by the crown prince and made a decision.
She said, “Even if everyone else abandons you, I alone won’t.”
Alisa, along with the crown prince, led a newlywed, leisure, life in the remote territory where they loved each other.
Eventually, their territory became prosperous enough to overwhelm the royal family.
