The time has come, I sighed, looking down at the letter from home.

Silvana is the third of five daughters in the all-female Asmantos Ducal House. As the daughter of a former princess, a political marriage is her predetermined future.

A marriage of her choosing was out of the question. She knew that perfectly well.

Nevertheless, Silvana pleaded with her mother, asking if she could at least experience love freely for the short time until her engagement was decided. She received permission, but only for the duration of her attendance at the girls' academy.

For a first love she could walk away from without complications, Silvana set her sights on Lord Asia Virginbauer, the Marquis's son and her mother's political rival. She fell in love with a man she was sure would never fall for her, much like a fan rooting for a stage actor.

However, just as her permitted dream period was drawing to a close, her mother ordered her to proceed with marriage negotiations.

The period of grace was over. For the indulgence she had been granted, she now had to repay her family and the nation.

Silvana decided to withdraw from her first love and proceed with the arranged marriage, but upon hearing the news, Asia, her first love interest, took an unexpected action.

"My lady, let me offer you a piece of advice."

A love story between a young lady enjoying her first love and the young lord chosen to be that first love.
