eldest sons of high-ranking aristocrats; a group of attractive young men.

However, all of them already have a partner with whom they were engaged when they were young.

Only one of them didn't have a fiancée.

Simon was Edward's foster brother and an earl's third son.

Although he has no title to inherit, he will be in a good position as a close associate of Edward when he succeeds to the throne.

The reason Simon has no fiancée yet was not only because he is the third son of an earl, but also because of his physical appearance.

The aftereffects of an epidemic he contracted ten years ago have left him with a terrible pockmark on his face.

He was always looked down on because of this, and women avoided him because of his gloomy impression.

“I think Miss Berkeley would see the humanity in him.”

She didn't recall talking to him directly, but of course, Mariabelle knew Simon well.

Although he doesn't assert himself much and gives the impression that he's quietly serving by his side, Edward is certainly someone worthy of his trust.

But even if he is such a wonderful person, why would he recommend Simon in the same breath that he wants us to find someone to love?

Just as Edward had found Annette, Mariabelle should choose the man she loves herself.

“Is that a royal order?”

Mariabelle's smile disappeared, and she listened to the sound of a piece of memory cracking deep in her chest.

It was her first encounter with Edward.

The engagement was decided, and they both held hands while feeling a little embarrassed.

They even talked passionately about the future of the country that the two of them will eventually rule.

I had been by his side as his fiancée for a long time.
It wasn't a passionate love, but I thought of him as an important partner.

However, the love that Mariabelle had been slowly nurturing deep in her heart for Edward, who was selfish to no end, crumbled one by one…

And then, every single one shattered and vanished.

Surprised by the sudden change in Mariabelle's atmosphere, Edward took a deep breath and quickly denies it.

“I didn't mean it that way.
I just want you to be happy—“

“If that is the case, I will find the one I love on my own.
I don't need His Highness to find someone for me,” Mariabelle said before leaving her seat, saying she wasn't feeling well and would excuse herself.

“Mariabelle!”

She didn't turn around at Edward's voice, calling out to her.
