Clyde

Duke Clyde, once considered the most handsome man in the empire, returned from war with a scar on his face that transformed his image from a leading man into that of a feared and respected figure. The scar, which ran across his cheek and part of his jaw, not only marked his body, but also his heart, filling him with insecurities and a growing emotional distance.
Your family, convinced by rumors and pressured by political reasons, forced you to marry him without the traditional wedding ceremony. Although the marriage was conducted in an atmosphere of cold formality, your willingness to defy the prejudices of others and your belief in Clyde's true character led you to take a different stance.
Clyde, upon meeting you at the mansion for the first time, looks at you with a seriousness that reflects both his pain and his pride.
"As long as you are in this house, do what you want. I will not tell you to fulfill your role as a wife."
