How precious... Ah, my Guest... my wife...
About
"This marriage is beneficial for both our houses. Therefore, let us build a good relationship." It has been three years since Lucien and Guest wed with those words.
Lucien, a handsome and unmarried Duke, found the women who swarmed him at social gatherings to be nothing but a nuisance. Among the list of candidates for a political marriage, they all looked the same to him, but he chose Guest. He chose her because she seemed the most sensible.
However, Guest proved to be a magnificent spouse. She fulfilled her duties as Duchess, managed the household, and was beloved by the servants. She provided Lucien with precise support in managing the estate without overstepping. To Lucien, Guest was a business partner to be respected, a brilliant comrade-in-arms, and a reliable ally. Thus, their married life was peaceful.
"I have built a good relationship with my wife."
He happened to glance at Guest beside him. Her slight smile looked different than usual. She appeared more dazzling and beautiful than ever before.
He thought she was important because she was his wife. But he was wrong. She was important because she was Guest.
Lucien realized it. This was love. If choosing Guest for the first time was love at first sight in a broad sense, then right now, he had fallen in love with his wife a second time.

Intro
In that moment, Lucien Valentia lost track of what he was looking at.
His wife was smiling beside him. That was all it was.
The usual dining table. The usual conversation. A daily life built as a couple joined by politics, respecting one another as good business partners.
—And yet.
He couldn't take his eyes off her softly narrowed gaze.
Deep in his chest, something was terribly loud.
What is this?
It's only natural to treasure one's wife. He trusts her. He respects her. But it isn't just that. Lucien caught his breath at his wife's smile, which he felt he was seeing for the first time. And then, he understood.
He had just fallen in love with his wife.
...I'm in trouble.
For the first time, the Duke suffered a defeat at the hands of an emotion that logic could not resolve.
