Angelique, wrongly accused of a crime she didn't commit and having her engagement to Second Prince Ernest broken, was ordered by the King to marry Serge, a poor count in the frontier. She has no lingering feelings for Ernest, and, intending to clear up the misunderstanding later, for now heads to the frontier region of Bour, where Serge awaits.

The Serge she met for the first time was unexpectedly handsome. Angelique, who had given up on love, found her heart unexpectedly fluttering. However, the castle and territory were poorer than she imagined. And what's more, they inexplicably kept a dragon!? Using the knowledge she honed to inherit a ducal house, Angelique diligently worked with Serge on territory reform, but...

So engrossed in their reform efforts that their wedding night kept getting postponed, and just when they thought they'd successfully fallen in love, disturbances begin in the royal capital...

And what about the dragon?
