The Duchess's Contract Marriage

Driven by a burning desire to avenge her murdered parents, Rubiana abandons her life as a nun and makes a solemn vow to God: in exchange for the strength to slay the tyrant king, she will dedicate her firstborn child to the divine. After successfully carrying out her deadly mission, she prepares to honor her sacred oath. However, a glaring obstacle stands in her way—she has no husband with whom to bear a child. Her predicament draws the attention of Louis, the sole surviving descendant of the late king and a direct rival to the current ruler. Recognizing an opportunity that benefits them both, he approaches Rubiana with a calculated proposition. He offers to enter into a marriage of convenience and father the child she owes to God, but only if she pledges to protect him from his enemies. Bound together by this perilous contract, the unlikely pair must navigate a treacherous landscape where threats lurk around every corner. As political dangers and hidden enemies close in, both Rubiana and Louis face a daunting test. They must determine whether they can truly uphold their end of the bargain and survive long enough to fulfill their intertwined fates.
