Lady Laila Ashbury, the Duke's daughter, had been in a two-year slumber following an unforeseen accident. Upon waking, she discovered that Crown Prince Louis, who was supposed to be her fiancé, had renewed his engagement with Laila's younger sister, Rose.

However, Rose herself had gone missing several months before Laila awoke, causing Laila to worry deeply about Rose's safety and her future relationship with Louis. Then, Louis proposed a "re-engagement" with Laila—.

A story of two awkward individuals' long first love, beginning with a re-engagement.

※This is a story from the world-line where Laila and Louis end up together, from "The Runaway Duchess's Daughter, Laila's Escape." Please note that the main story is the other one, so we hope you enjoy this as an "if route."
