“Shall we try one more time? To see if it was really just a coincidence?”
Astan von Schulzmeier is a duke cursed to turn into a monster every full moon.
One day, Gloria McCain, the heiress of a count’s family, shows up at his door—with a marriage proposal.
“I accept your proposal, Duke.”
“There must be some mistake. Let’s pretend this proposal never happened.”
Astan desperately refuses to marry her—he doesn’t want anyone to find out about his curse.
“Why can’t we get married?”
“We just can’t.”
“That’s not fair. I will marry you, Duke.”
Gloria, who received a prophecy that she’ll be brutally killed by her stepmother and stepbrother if she doesn’t marry within a year, is determined to make this marriage happen.
“I’m going to be your wife, Duke.”
“…”
“I’ll become your wife, break your curse, have children who look like us, and live happily ever after.”
“You’ll regret it.”
“I won’t.”
“…”
“I’m the one who chose you, not the other way around.”
“…”
“That’s why you can’t reject me.”
That damn curse, I’ll take care of it!
