One day, as I, the duke's heir, was relaxing at home, I received a visit from my cousin, a genius yet eccentric individual. My cousin, clutching an octopus pot that promised happiness, simply said, "Your fiancée is a villainess who will bully the heroine and be condemned," and then left. I'd often ignored his incomprehensible pronouncements in the past, but as the time drew near, I started to feel uneasy. However, my fiancée, while hiding behind a reputation for beauty and being a paragon of ladies, is actually the ultimate lazy princess. I can't imagine her doing such a thing.

This is a work born from the author's unbridled imagination. Please enjoy it if you like. It is planned in two parts. The main story is complete.

Two extra chapters have been added. These are stories about Ethelbert's cousin from the main story, the "genius but eccentric" marquess's heir who carries an octopus pot, and his fiancée, the duke's daughter. Both are presented as monologues.
