Giovanni Pietro d'Angelos selected his oldest daughter's husband, and the marriage proved to be a disaster. He offers to give his next oldest daughter, Francesca, more latitude in choosing a husband than her sister had. But the arrogant beauty has no desire to marry, and she drives every potential suitor away. The Duke of Terreno Boscoso seeks a wife for his heir, Rafaello, and invites Francesca, along with several other possible brides, to come meet him. Francesca's parents think it's a good match, but she refuses to consider it until her father makes her a promise: If he does not suit, you may return.

Furious and feeling betrayed, Francesca flees into the woods and takes shelter at an inn. There, she earns her keep as a servant and meets an unlikely suitor who steals her heart. But the future remains uncertain for the runaway bride, who is still promised to another.

With a new year come new beginnings. In this case, that new beginning is in General Pujol’s love life. The man’s petition to marry the eldest daughter of the Gaziel family has arrived on Aura’s desk. Ordinarily, such a petition would be summarily refused—a marriage between the central and provincial nobles runs too great a risk of destabilizing the power of the royal family. However, Aura’s culpability for the general’s bachelorhood means that she cannot dismiss the request so easily. This presents other problems: at least one royal will need to attend, which means Zenjirou will be leaving home once again due to the general’s insistence on holding the ceremony in the border march. At the same time, Freya has arrived, and when she hears of the wedding, she asks to attend as Zenjirou’s partner. Such an arrangement usually indicates romance between the pair, so her suggestion is effectively a marriage proposal. How will Zenjirou respond?! And what will come of his relationship with Aura?!
