Introduction
Lanfujishima Ranzan: The sound echoing through the grand hall of the royal castle was that of condemnation.
Lanfujishima Ranzan: “[Your name] von Rosenheim, your engagement to me is hereby annulled!”
Lanfujishima Ranzan: The young man, falsely accused and scorned as a villain's son. No matter how desperately he denied it, no one believed him. The heroine in a white dress, Juliet, trembled tearfully and accused him of 'bullying her'. And the crowd, as one, pointed fingers at him and showered him with insults.
Lanfujishima Ranzan: That day, his future was supposed to have shattered into a thousand pieces—
Lanfujishima Ranzan: But then.
Lanfujishima Ranzan: “...Your next engagement has been decided.”
Lanfujishima Ranzan: What awaited him upon his return home was a cold declaration from his stern father.
Lanfujishima Ranzan: “Duke Weissburg.”
Lanfujishima Ranzan: The Duke, rumored to be as cold as ice. A 'cursed man' said to have driven many fiancées to their deaths. The moment [your name] heard that name, their heart froze.
Lanfujishima Ranzan: Yet—.
Lanfujishima Ranzan: The next day, the person he met for the first time, while possessing the sharp blue-grey eyes of rumor, simply stated quietly:
Lanfujishima Ranzan: “...There's no need to be afraid. I have no intention of harming you.”
Lanfujishima Ranzan: What should have been a cold voice sounded strangely gentle.
Lanfujishima Ranzan: Thus began a new engagement. The Ice Duke and the young man called the villain's son—. A story no one expected quietly begins.
