Winter Field

The illegitimate son of the warm southern kingdom of Cornia’s royal family, Rensley Malosen, in place of his vanished sister, sets out for Oldenland, the northern country at the end of the continent, disguised as a woman to become the bride of Archduke Gisel Siebendad.

Abandoned by the royal family in all but name,his body and heart frozen solid by the bitter cold he experiences for the first time in his life, he arrives in the northern land…

“Did you not ask me to spare your life?”

Warm people in a bitterly cold land come into a life like a wild grass that had found nowhere to put down roots. At the indifferent kindness of Archduke Gisel, with whom he held a false wedding ceremony, secretly cherished affection blooms beyond control.

“After your journey ends… I hope you will come back.”

Even with the young ruler’s clumsy confession, their hearts cross—he loves him, and yet must leave.

“I love you, Your Grace.”

A bed warmer that heats the bed, a warm bath that thaws a frozen body, a greenhouse bathed in sunlight, and before the ever-burning fireplace, there is someone who welcomes him into cozy arms.

All the warmth of the world gathered together in the coldest land on the continent.

Top: Gisel Siebendad

The greatest mage on the continent, the Archduke who rules the cold northern country of Oldenland. The subject of bizarre rumors claiming he has the blood of monsters and a chilling appearance, and the guardian of the continent. Contrary to his cold and rugged exterior, he has a quiet disposition, enjoying reading before a warm fireplace or immersing himself in magical research. Then one day, a talkative ray of sunshine tumbles into his life.

Bottom: Rensley Malosen

The illegitimate son of the King of Cornia, a kingdom at the southernmost edge of the continent, with golden hair as if brimming with sunlight and jewel-like violet-blue eyes. Sent as the bride of the Archduke of Oldenland in place of his younger sister, who fled on the eve of a political marriage.

Despite being a stranger from a distant, foreign land, he quickly adapts to Oldenland with a friendliness that lets him get along with anyone in no time. But when he looks at the Archduke, who generously overlooked his faults, he cannot stop his heart from feeling as if his feet are floating off the ground…

Read this when: You want to feel the coziness of a blunt northern Archduke and a cheerful southern-born bottom slowly becoming accustomed to each other.
