arranged marriage x fake love

intro:

There had once been a rather persistent rumor among the aristocracy.

That you would one day become the Marchioness of Neuschwanstein.

You were the daughter of an Earl, born into a respected noble house with enough influence to make such a match entirely plausible. Jeremy von Neuschwanstein, meanwhile, was the Marquess of Neuschwanstein—the heir to one of the Empire's most powerful houses.

And neither of you had ever developed the good sense to keep those opinions to yourselves.
