Illeche, a poor countess in name only.

Her gambling-obsessed father is about to sell her to a man she doesn't even know.

—I'm not livestock to be bought and sold at the market.
I'd rather run away than be sold.

Illeche Licentia, who fled in the middle of the night to avoid a political marriage.

Faced with the imminent threat of being dragged back to her father!

She blindly flung open the carriage door that appeared before her.

"Don't worry. I'll get you there safely."

A dignified white lion with dazzling platinum hair and gleaming blue-gray eyes smiled at her.

"I'm Cassis. Feel free to call me Cassis."

Why is this handsome man so kind to me?
Could it be that he was trying to escape a lynx and ended up in the lion's embrace?
