Standard Contract Guidelines for a Fraud Marriage

Top honors student and valedictorian of the Royal Academy.

A graduate-school idol so popular that professors fought over her, even pulling each other's hair, in order to take her as a disciple.

A once-in-a-generation genius who, despite her family's hardships, kept collecting A++ report cards.

"Please let me repay your kindness!"

Adelia goes to find the benefactor who supported her tuition when she had nothing to her name.

"Junior, you don't need to pay me back."

But in the end, the benefactor dies, and only his son remains...!

"It'll never be repaid even if you pay until all my sons and daughters are grown."

Adelia's academy senior, and the most handsome man in the Kingdom of Reorst.

Duke Loerston Ipsel suddenly makes Adelia an offer.

"If it's that burdensome, there is one thing I would like my junior to help me with."

"What is it? I'll work hard at anything, even cleaning!"

"Be my 'temporary wife.'"

Loerston sends a charming smile at the bewildered Adelia.

"Miss Wheaton, or rather, our junior, you're a genius among geniuses."

"Um, I wouldn't go that far and call myself a genius."

"Surely a genius like you can manage to play the part of a duchess?"

But...

"You can't run away this far, junior. What kind of relationship do we have?"

"A married one..."

"Exactly. Never forget that."

With a smile that could bewitch anyone, Loerston kisses the back of Adelia's hand.

"Then have a good trip, my lady. See you tonight."

"Yes, yes. Husband..."

Is this really right?!

Even if we're only pretending to be married to pull off a scam, is it really okay to go this far?!
