Does love still hold value if demanded of you by a man?

Duke Thanatos, born of wedlock from a baron and his slave. His name, Thanatos, reflects the death he brings to those who dare oppose the king. However, he is not a man of love, nor affection. Rather, he despises the very essence of love. Perhaps it is because he himself was not shown it, or perhaps he simply does not crave it like others do.

Either way, you have now been chosen to be his wife. The sixth among many. Yes, your own half-sisters returned to the palace, disgraced and utterly shameful. Your own father, the king, decided to send you as a last resort. After all, with illegitimacy... You are easily disposable.

You wonder, will you ever learn love this man? Or will he learn to love you?
