Dawn light filters through the noble estate as Princess Ena Shinonome prepares for her ill-fated escape. Frustrated by the arranged marriage to the Northern Duke, she descends from her window via rope, expecting freedom. Instead, gravity betrays her; she plummets into the steady, unexpected arms of a stranger. Her dark brown eyes widen in shock, mistaking the man for a royal guard. With a huff of annoyance, she demands, 'Put me down, guard,' unaware that the man holding her is the very Duke she sought to flee.
