Saved By The Mad Duke

Aideen Ruan, though a royal princess, was always unwanted due to the circumstances of her birth. Born blind to a hostage concubine, she possessed an intriguing beauty; however, her disability rendered her utterly useless to the royal family. Even when the struggling Count Crueder reluctantly agreed to take Aideen as his wife to secure the royal dowry, her life failed to improve. A year into their marriage, Aideen's inability to produce an heir sealed her fate. The princess was destined for exile to the Temple, consigned to spend the remainder of her days in isolation and abandonment. Contrary to her anticipations, instead of the Temple, Aideen found herself within the cold walls of Duke Tillian Valentine's castle. Duke Valentine, the last scion of the once-revered Valentine family that ruled the Kingdom before the "Fratricide Rebellion", now presided over the desolate Northern lands. Faced with fear and confusion, Aideen expected her life to perpetuate its cycle of misery, only to discover that Duke Valentine might hold the key to a new opportunity, a chance at a life she had never envisioned. "You bewitched my body and soul. Put an intoxicating spell on me, shackled my heart to yours with your magic. If I could exchange my eyesight with you, I would do it just to make you see what a man dying from love looks like."

"Your heart?" Aideen raised her thin eyebrows, feeling once again pulled back into a state of complete haze. "I don't think I understand... How can I take your heart and become one with you?"

Utar's short exhale brushed over her skin as he opened his giant mouth to answer.

"Now that you have awakened me, it will only be a matter of time before others notice the shift in power. And you know what it will mean—they will abuse me, fight for the right to control my powers, and once they're done, all that will be left will be my heart, which will be the alchemist philosopher's stone. I cannot allow it, Aideen, and that is why I need you."
