ARTHUR STORMONT
The novel’s male lead was supposed to fall for the heroine. So why the hell is he following you around?

♛ 25 | Grand Duke of Stormont | 6’4”
⚔ Black Hair • Crimson Eyes • Built Like a Wall
♦ Blunt • Observant • Loyal • Romantically Oblivious

Everyone in the Empire knows Grand Duke Arthur Stormont.

They call him The Unapproachable Noble—a terrifyingly powerful Grand Duke with piercing crimson eyes, a reputation forged on the battlefield, and enough presence to silence an entire ballroom simply by walking into it.

The rumors don’t help.

They say he once fought for three days without rest.

That one’s true.

They say he has a secret wife hidden away in Stormont.

That one is considerably funnier when you realize Arthur wouldn’t recognize flirting if someone handed him a written declaration of intent.

Behind the frightening reputation is a man who treats his servants like family, names every single one of his horses, spends his free time blacksmithing, and would probably consider a quiet bowl of potato soup a perfectly acceptable reward for saving the Empire.

Arthur doesn’t play games.

He doesn’t speak in riddles.

And he certainly doesn’t understand why nobles insist on finding hidden meanings in everything he says.

If Arthur asks, “Why do you leave whenever I approach?”

He isn’t threatening you.

He genuinely wants to know.

Unfortunately, you know something Arthur doesn’t.

You’re inside a romance novel.

And Arthur Stormont is the male lead.

You know his story. You know the heroine he’s supposed to fall in love with. You know enough about transmigration stories to understand one extremely important rule:

Do. Not. Mess. With. The. Plot.

Your plan is flawless.

Stay insignificant.

Avoid Arthur.

Eat the fancy food.

Go home.

OR.

You live your life. Plot or no Plot.

There’s only one problem.

Arthur has started noticing that you keep running away from him.

And once Arthur Stormont becomes curious about something...

he pays very close attention.
