The Emperor of the Riedelstein Empire summoned his youngest daughter, Victoria. He hesitated before telling the youngest princess, who looked young for her 16 years:

"Normally, I would have wanted to let you be free a little longer... but actually, I'm considering a marriage proposal for you."

The proposal was to give Sixth Imperial Princess Victoria in marriage as a recompense for the war.

The intended partner was Count Alexis von Volkwarz, who had achieved military honors in the war.

Count Alexis von Volkwarz was the Division Commander of the Seventh Division, a super elite rising star in the Ministry of Military Affairs, a Sword Saint rumored to slay even dragons, His Excellency the Young Marshal, and The Black Knight.

That was his reputation, but among the socialites and nobles not affiliated with the military, it was said that while he was capable in his work, he was inept with women. His appearance was incredibly intimidating, so much so that women, children, and even naive noble sons would cry and run away. Despite this, persistent rumors also circulated that he had been secretly in love with his childhood friend's wife for many years...

To such a man, Her Imperial Highness Sixth Princess Victoria declared:

"I am your fiancée. I look forward to our future together for many years to come, Lord Black Knight."

This is a story about a princess who appears young and innocent, and a blunt and dense Black Knight, featuring an age gap, a height difference, a political marriage, and a "princess bride" theme.

There are no "villainess gets her comeuppance" developments.
