After leading a 28-year war to victory, the Lord of Pervaz, Asha Pervaz, is devastated by the prolonged conflict. She returns home with the expectation of receiving the reward promised by the emperor for her triumph. However, the only reward bestowed upon her was “The Right To Choose A Marriage Partner.” Selecting the best option, Asha points to Duke Carlisle Haven, the former crown prince and heir to the throne who has recently been stripped of his position. Should he refuse, Asha intends to request alimony from the emperor. “Marquis Pervaz. I shall accept your marriage proposal.” Contrary to her expectations, Duke Carlisle accepts Asha’s proposal along with a promise to support her unconditionally.
