At the age of eight, Princess Alienor of the Kingdom of Sefia was wed into the Count Emereht family under a royal decree.

Ten years later, they remain a couple in name only.

Due to a congenital illness, Alienor has only a short time left to live.

Though she lives her days serenely, she worries her brief life will simply fade away without having left her mark.

Then one day, a child appeared before Alienor.

The child, a spitting image of her husband, Cassius, declared, "I've come to be a child of this house."

Convinced this must be her husband's secret child, Alienor decides to raise the child as a stepmother...

This is a story about a stiff, awkward husband and a wife who, with little time left to live, had grown self-deprecating, as they come to realize the truth about each other.
