Aness, the youngest of the Klein Barony, ended up spending her first night with a man she never expected.
That man was none other than the highest-ranking knight commander of the Eupherion Empire—Caron Perschtmann.
However, it wasn’t a night she had wished for from the beginning.
She had been making a decent living as a matchmaker for noble heirs, but fate had her stepping in as a substitute partner for Caron—the object of a certain duke’s daughter’s one-sided love.
Used as a pawn in a scheme devised by someone who sought revenge against Caron, Aness unexpectedly spent her first night with him, and the aftermath was anything but ordinary.
“Find the woman who took my chastity. She must pay the price.”
Caron, head of the Perschtmann family, who had strictly upheld the belief that even men must remain chaste before marriage, was furious.
Aness, who became pregnant from that night, ended up on the run after her family’s unexpected downfall.
And one year later, caught again by fate, Aness reunites with him—this time as a maid.
