She is a poor young woman who just happens to get engaged, but for some reason she is captivated by the next Duke, who dotes on her!
*** “......Ok, let's get engaged.”
“Yes, of course! I'm sorry to take up so much of your time…”
“What?”
It was only after having said that, I, Alice Coleman, looked up.
It was the first time I saw his eyes. I looked at the face of the person in front of me for the first time and congratulated myself for not slumping over.
Shiny blonde hair with a neat appearance. And the most striking feature about him are his ice blue coloured eyes, which sparkle like jewels. Up close, they look more beautiful than any jewel I have ever seen. They were so beautiful that I was afraid I might be sucked in. Rather than that, what did he answer just now?
If I remember correctly, I heard the incredible words, “Let’s get engaged.” I think I’ve been out of my mind and doubted my ears.
"Oh, um...Can you tell me your name?”
“What?”
“Your name?”
He nodded his head lightly, and I was sure that my face had turned bright red.
“You're going to be my fiancée now, aren't you? So at least tell me your first name.”
He smiled like a prince and said that I will be his fiancée from now on naturally like that. I didn’t really know what he was thinking.
In the first place, I had never spoken to him before. But I don't think there is anyone in this school who doesn't know him.
Arthur Grindelwald-Sama.
He is the eldest son of the first duke of this country. He is good looking and has excellent grades. Even to me, the eldest daughter of the Count family, he was above the clouds. He is the object of admiration from all the girls in the school, and if I had lived normally, I would not have had this conversation.
Looking back ...... I'm not sure how this happened. The story goes back a few minutes.

"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?”
"You can't do anything about it now, it's after school. Why don't you just give up?”
"Ugh, that's awful ......”
Lily, my best friend, looked coldly at me as I lay down at my desk as I kept on saying what to do as if I was chanting.
“Why do you hate him so much? Gray-sama is very nice. There are many girls who want him.”
“He's the only one I can't stand! Everyone has their own physiological problems. In my case, it was Gray Golding-sama.”
My family, which is poor even for an earl, has always been beholden to the wealthy Marquis Golding, and he and I grew up together as childhood friends, and all my life I was abused by him. There were traumatic pranks and abusive language. Now that it's been more than ten years, but it's enough to lose my appetite just by remembering his face.
“I can't believe he's my fiancé of all people….”
This morning, while we were having breakfast as usual, my father suddenly said to me, "You are to be engaged to Gray-sama, and you must be ready for it.”
I had always been praised for my manners, but I was so shocked that I dropped the spoon I was holding onto the floor.
“No, no, no! I don't want to marry Gray-sama!”
“There is no one else like him. Why don’t you want to?”
“I'm actually in a relationship with someone. And I'm thinking of marrying him.”
