“Ah… I’m finally going to die…”
Marquise Felicia was on the brink of death.
Felicia, once the fiancée of the crown prince, was attacked by someone and hovered between life and death, nearly crossing over into the underworld. Though she miraculously survived, she was diagnosed with aftereffects from the poison that made her unable to bear children, and her engagement was annulled. She became a shadowy figure, known as the “Princess of the Heat Haze.”
On her way to marry a lecherous count from a neighboring country—as if being driven out of her own mansion—Felicia’s carriage was attacked by bandits, once again putting her life in danger. She was saved by a demon king wearing a skull mask of a goat, feared by all as the most terrifying demon king. Why did this feared demon king save Felicia…?
And who was the person who tried to send Felicia to the underworld?
This is a story of love and growth between a marquise who, though praised as a treasure, disappeared from the public eye like a heat haze, and a duke feared as a demon king due to his overwhelming magical power and unusual appearance.
