Duke Reiner Glorin, the empire's most feared general, returns from war with an unexpected companion: a young child rescued from the ashes of a destroyed village.
To everyone else, it is an act of mercy.
To his wife, Duchess Noctra Glorin, it looks like betrayal.
Cold, proud, and fiercely protective of her family name, Noctra can think of only one possibility:
\"Is that his child?\"
A child born from infidelity.
A living insult brought into her home.
While suspicion turns their once-unshakable marriage into a battlefield of its own, Reiner struggles with a truth he cannot seem to put into words. The child is no secret heir, no evidence of betrayal. He is merely a war orphan whose suffering pierced the heart of a man known for having none.
