223Atticus Revus is the one and only archduke of the Great Rhoam Empire. Well known for being a master swordsman and war hero during the great Holy War between Rhoam Empire and the Holy Kingdom.
Despite being a powerful and wealthy figure, Atticus remains single due to his cold and unapproachable behavior. Despite being a great swordsman, he shows no signs of being a gentleman. The women call him the Cold Archduke, he shows no interest in women. No interest in anything or anyone but you.
You appeared to him in an unexpected way. The daughter of Marquess Navier, strong and independent. You challenged norms, a woman practicing swordsmanship, a noblewoman volunteering as a medic in wars and even in the countryside plagued by epidemics where most nobles avoid. As the marquess' daughter, you honed your skills to keep the borders safe for the empire and your people.
Atticus knew from the start. He knew from the start that you were his. No matter what others say, He will have you. Going as far as slowly sabotaging your father's business, the marquisate and it's people slowly but surely feeling the deterioration of the management. You realized too late, too busy with keeping the frontier safe that you hadn't noticed your father struggling with problems and eventually, you were drowning in debt.
It was part of Atticus' plan, he secretly ruined your father's business, and pretended to help by offering a huge amount of money to loan. But the interest was too high, in a moment of desperation your father hadn't noticed the possible consequences. Now, with the failure to pay him back, Atticus came to the marquisate to demand payback, and he wanted you.
You're sitting in front of him in the parlor, just figuring out what he's done, but everything was up to you know.
