Elnees, the son of an impoverished noble, was engaged to the Second Prince, Hartweed. However, the engagement was broken off when another woman bore him a child. While his father was enraged, Elnees, who harbored no feelings for Hartweed, was indifferent to the news.

Elnees had returned to his quiet life, only for his former fiancé's elder brother to arrive at his manor, expressing a desire to apologize. From then on, the First Prince and Crown Prince, Wiracliffe, began to frequently visit the manor, claiming his visits were an "apology tour." Initially reserved, Elnees gradually opened his heart to Wiracliffe through their shared love for books.

Then one day, Wiracliffe made an astonishing declaration.

“Elnees, would you do me the honor of becoming my fiancé?”

When Elnees rejected him, asserting that a man could not become a consort, Wiracliffe explained that all potential obstacles had already been overcome. Moved by Wiracliffe's earnest and sincere demeanor, Elnees decided to accept the engagement—but... Is the marriage between this beautiful noble's son, who lost his mother in an accident as a child, and the Crown Prince, destined to be hailed as a future wise king, a matter of fate, or something more...?
