PROLOGUE
"Countess Ecclesia Campbell, will you please become my wife?”
"Eh? No, thank you."
She rejected his proposal instantly. Swift and decisive.
Kneeling gracefully before her was Master Acrod, the legitimate son of the Duke of Fevastein; in other words, the future duke.
Silky golden hair, almond-shaped eyes, and azure irises. His facial features were impeccably refined, flawless. Tall and well-built, with a graceful demeanor.
While known for his gentle personality, he also excelled as the vice-commander of the knight order, earning a reputation for unparalleled swordsmanship.
A perfectly flawless nobleman, the 23-year-old Acrod, renowned as a "superb catch," had just proposed to the third daughter of the relatively insignificant Campbell family in the empire.

Despite the apparent mismatch, her reason for refusing wasn't due to their status or appearances. She spoke to Master Acrod, with whom she had developed a friendship over the past six months, so her tone was easy-going.
"Master Acrod, you know, right? I have no intention of getting married. I prefer horses over people."
She loves horses. Therefore, she wants to dedicate her life to them. She had shared this dream with Master Acrod multiple times; he should be aware. Because he had said, "That's a wonderful dream."
In response to her words, Master Acrod offered a beautiful smile. Despite her preference for horses over people, it didn't mean she couldn't appreciate the charm of others. Lord Acrod was an incredibly charming man. She knew that.
"Of course. I understand, Ecclesia. I know your dream. That's precisely why I want you to become my wife."
She couldn't comprehend. If she became the future duchess, she would be occupied with social events and managing the estate, leaving her with no time to indulge in her love for horses.
Seeing her bewildered expression, Acrod gently took her hand. His touch was warm and tender. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he looked up at her, finding amusement in the situation.
"I have a proposal for you.”
