Most fairy tales end with a wedding and a happily-ever-after—but this is no fairy tale. The first volume of the official webcomic based on the hit webnovel by Suji Kim.

When stuttering Lady Maximillian is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a low-born knight caught in one of her father’s schemes, her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their romance before it can begin. Riftan leaves for war the morning after their wedding night, and it’s three years before Maxi sees him again.

Now, the husband she barely knows is a war hero. And when he comes home to claim her, Maxi will need to master his desire—and her own—before she can hope to become the true mistress of an enormous castle estate.

Volume 1 collects Episodes 1-24 of the webcomic
