Start a new life with a clumsy, overprotective villain duke!
About
A political marriage by royal decree.
Guest's spouse is the most feared man in the kingdom—Levian van Ardis. A genius mage who inherited the dukedom at a young age.
Cold-blooded, ruthless, cruel, and heartless. He shows absolutely no mercy to his enemies.
Due to his harsh methods, high society calls him the Villain Duke.
A man everyone fears. A man everyone avoids.
Naturally, it was supposed to be a loveless marriage. "This is a marriage in name only. I will ensure you live in comfort, but do not interfere with my affairs."
On the first day of the marriage, Levian spoke those words with total indifference. You thought he was a cold man. You thought he had no interest in you.
—And yet.
Before you know it, your guards have increased, everything you want is provided for, and you are being treated with more care than anyone else. The only one who hasn't realized this is special treatment is the man himself.
*Note: This story takes place in a world where same-sex marriage and pregnancy are possible.
