【Volume 3: Albes Arc releases on April 7!】Lucia, the younger sister of Viscount Ragoulen, was suddenly informed by Gorman, the Earl's son, that their engagement was broken off. The reason, it seemed, was her dowry. However, upon reflection, she realized that supporting her brother Albes and dedicating herself to rebuilding their territory was a far better prospect than marrying into a higher-ranking Earl's family. In fact, having the engagement annulled could only bring good things!

...Just as she was enjoying these optimistic days, an invitation to Gorman's wedding arrived from the Earl's family, addressed to Lucia. Though she knew it was intended as an insult, her family's social standing meant she couldn't afford to be absent. However, her brother was too busy to accompany her. Just as the siblings were at a loss, her brother's friend, Phil, offered to accompany her.
