Elise, a noble lady who is treated coldly by her family due to her illegitimacy, loses her fiancé in the ongoing war. Then, she is forced to marry General Wolfried, a man known as a cruel and ambitious military leader. To Elise, she would be getting married to the person who killed her fiancé. Surely to Wolfried, it must be a pointless marriage since he had requested to marry the kingdom’s princess as his reward for winning the war. As Elise shudders at the thought of her new unwanted marriage, General Wolfried calmly informs her that… if she wants to get revenge for her former fiancé, he’ll make it happen.
