The Little Mistress of the Grand Duchy

He turned my life into a nightmare and forced me to break off the engagement, bringing mockery from the court down on me.

Should I be upset? But it wasn’t me who wanted this marriage—it was the one whose body I took when I ended up in this world!

I, however, give thanks to the heavens for freedom and return to my own lands… lands that need rebuilding. If I manage, the king will leave me independence and the chance to choose my own fate. If I fail… but no, there are no “ifs”! I won’t allow yet another lord to wipe his feet on me with joy—so there’s no other option.

Only… why is my former fiancé looking to meet with me?
