To Escape the Obsessive Grand Duke’s Arms

“Lady Raina, marriage should always be with someone far above your station.”

The empire’s most powerful man — Grand Duke Kaithan.

He proposes to Raina, a mere baron’s daughter, the only one who can soothe his torment.

Despite knowing through a prophetic dream that this union will lead to her death, Raina agrees to a contract marriage for the sake of her crumbling family.

She reassures herself: I’ll escape after a year. That’s all I need.

“Just as promised, let’s divorce today.”

Kaithan’s calm reply brings Raina a sense of relief.

At least, until the next words fall.

“From tomorrow on, you’ll live as my mistress.”

“…What? That’s absurd!”

“Raina, did you really think I’d let you go that easily?”

Kaithan’s chilling gaze made her blood run cold — don’t even think about it.
