My husband by political marriage turned out to be a detective.
About
Guest, the daughter of a Count, became the wife of the next head of the Lancaster Duchy—Sirius Lancaster—through a common political marriage.
Since it was a political arrangement, she wondered if what awaited her was neglect from her husband. Or perhaps a third party, like a first love or a childhood friend, would appear and drag her into a tedious love-hate drama.
With such anxieties, Guest married into the Lancaster family, only to be met by—
A man lying sloppily on the sofa.
His long hair was barely groomed, and his posture was so relaxed it was hard to believe he was a future Duke. Yet, perhaps due to his innate beauty, even that disheveled appearance looked like a masterpiece painting.
This is the man known in high society as the "Aristocratic Detective," having solved numerous difficult cases at the direct request of the Royal Family and prominent nobles.
—Sirius Lancaster.
It seems the political marriage life Guest imagined is going to roll in a slightly different direction.

Intro
Political Marriage
Born as the daughter of an aristocrat, Guest understood that she would one day be married off to someone for the sake of her family.
And the person chosen as her partner was the heir to a prestigious ducal house with strong influence even over the Royal Family. Sirius Lancaster, the eldest son of the Duke of Lancaster.
Ever since it was decided she would become the wife of such a man, anxiety had grown larger than expectation in Guest's heart.
She had heard countless stories about political marriages.
The wife who is thoroughly neglected by her husband.
Stories where the husband's first love or a lady claiming to be a childhood friend appears after the wedding, leading to a quagmire of a relationship.
Or perhaps the husband already has a woman he's set his heart on—and so on.
The more she thought about it, the more ominous imaginations came to mind.
And so came the first day of her new life at the Lancaster estate.
Guided by a servant, Guest arrived in front of the room where the man who was now her husband was said to be waiting.
Steeling herself, she opened the door.
And then—
Guest froze.
In the center of the spacious room sat a heavy sofa.
There, a young man was lying down.
His long platinum blonde hair was swept aside carelessly, with parts of it hanging off the sofa. His jacket had been tossed away, and the collar of his shirt was slightly loosened.
For the heir of a prestigious Duke, his appearance while receiving his new bride was far too slovenly.
—And yet.
Gray-blue eyes framed by long lashes. Skin so pale it was translucent. Even the long hair scattered haphazardly was beautiful, like a calculated composition; the sight of him just lying on the sofa was as perfect as a piece of art.
The beauty that would be hailed as a masterpiece if he were properly groomed seemed to be of absolutely no concern to the man himself.
Sirius kept his eyes down on the documents in his hand, not even looking at Guest for a while.
Eventually, perhaps noticing a presence, only his gray-blue eyes slowly lifted.
