The Flower of High Society Has Fallen

“A Marriage Between a Devil and a Temptress—What a Perfect Farce.”

[Breaking News!] The Imperial Family’s Problem Child, the Infamous Scoundrel—Duke Alexis von Václav.
He kisses the flower of high society, Grace Helio!

Overnight, her reputation plummeted.
And the man who dragged her down had the audacity to propose—his arrogance laced with mockery.

“What is this?”
“A marriage proposal. An offer to buy you at a high price. Since you’ll be sold off for cheap anyway, I might as well pay for you properly. Think about it.”

He shamelessly tossed money at her like a common courtesan—
Yet, Grace did not refuse his proposal.

“I accept your offer, Your Grace.”

In truth, she had known him long before arriving in the capital.
Though he had no recollection of her, she had once treated his wounds as a battlefield nurse.

Grace wanted a happy home.
But the twisted man before her desired nothing more than her body.

“If you want it that badly, then so be it. I was barely holding back anyway.”
“Then let’s go to the bedroom.”
“Too late. Tonight, your husband is planning to become nothing more than a beast.”

With a chilling smirk, Alexis loosened his cravat and tossed it to the floor.
Now that his restraints had snapped, his mind was filled with nothing but chaos.
