Marielle Clarac no Konyaku

Marielle, a quiet and unassuming noblewoman, is overlooked in aristocratic circles. She is unexpectedly proposed to by Simeon, a prominent and accomplished knight and heir to an earldom. Known for his intellect, military skill, and striking appearance, Simeon is an object of admiration. Marielle is puzzled by his interest in someone as ordinary as herself. Despite facing social judgment, she is pleased with the match, as Simeon fits her ideal: a handsome, scholarly man with a composed exterior and a hidden, calculating nature. The story explores a world where appearances can be misleading, and those who seem conventional may harbor unexpected, mischievous ambitions.
