Synopsis

Even though I become a side character, I’m being adored by an overprotective duke Chapter 109 has been released. My tranquil existence as a mere background figure in the grand tapestry of Lavinia's court has been shattered – again. For the umpteenth time, I've found myself being forcibly thrust back into the spotlight, dodging flying arrows meant for my pampered fiancé, Lionel. The irony isn't lost on me that while his rugged facade has melted away, revealing chiseled features and piercing eyes, our situation remains precarious: one misstep could spark open rebellion against his growing power. How did things escalate so swiftly? Not even three moons ago, I was content with living in relative obscurity alongside the esteemed nobles of this land. Yet here I am, desperately attempting to shield Lionel from assassins lurking within our castle walls. Faint whispers spreading like wildfire hint at dark forces rising against us due to my failed attempts to control our prince-like fiancé. His loved ones aren't all happy about these developing events either; whispered conspiracies stink up those formerly warm courtyards. Now charged with safeguarding not just ourselves but perhaps even the throne itself, we're fighting against hidden enemies wearing masks of loyalty, courtiers perverting every carefully crafted smile they wear, orchestrating chaos behind subtle curtains draped discreetly between ceremonial halls.
