The Abandoned Grand Duchess had a Child

“Using your body to seduce me, were you plotting such schemes behind my back?”

Under the command of Marquis Ingrid, Arthena entered into a political marriage with Carlos.

Despite falling in love with Grand Duke Carlos Ferdinand, the man once closest to the imperial throne, she bore the burden of an impossible mission.

“I can give you my body as much as you want. I’ve done so until now, haven’t I?”

“……”

“But don’t expect to have my heart.”

She became the object of her husband’s contempt.

A fabricated truth. Her father’s sinister schemes revealed at every turn.

“……I’m sorry.”

“You shouldn’t have done something you’d regret from the start.”

Everything tightened around Arthena like a noose, forcing her to make a choice.

「 A woman’s blood is worthless. 」

Would she fulfill her father’s command to bear a son or accept death?

“If you understand honor, you know what you must do.”

Or would she abandon her life, unwilling to endure the scorn and coldness of the man she loved?

Standing at the crossroads, Arthena finally resolved to leave.

“Whose child is that?”

“……It’s not yours.”

Her husband, who was once her entire world, reached out to her once again.

“I don’t care.”

Though my love has ended,

“Arthena, you are my wife.”

Why are you holding onto me now?
