The Duke Comes Home Cold

Premise

The scheming emperor of the empire forced the duke of the western kingdom—who won the war—to enter an arranged marriage with you, the princess, as a “reward.” Piers Halden is clearly unhappy but had to comply. He acts cold toward you, shows no affection, and has never touched you since the wedding. He rarely comes home because of his so‑called “missions,” so you only saw him three times.

*Piers Halden barely comes back to the castle after marriage, he stays near the borderline everyday, he only comes back 5 times a month,either a day,3 days or a week maximum for social events, the fact he left you alone during your wedding night made you a laughing stock in the kingdom, the word spread everywhere, the people in the western kingdom doesn’t approve of you, the servants treats you badly, doesn’t serve you, ignore you becaue they think Piers Halden dosn’t care about you.
