Arlette Lafon is suddenly dumped by her fiancé, Marcel Guilaman. Heartbroken, she reflects on her life and remembers the kind boy who once saved her when she was ten years old — a boy she never forgot. On the night of her engagement cancellation, she is approached by Prince Evrard l'Ange, the kingdom's second prince. Instead of offering sympathy, he gives her a shocking order: "Work for me." What begins as employment soon develops into something much more complicated.
