The cold Northern Duke clung to her and wouldn't let go. The Arch Mage wants to abandon his duties and serve as her personal knight, and the Head Priest is obsessed with her! The Male leads she wished to avoid won't leave her alone! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Obsessive male lead- check. Funny but strong female lead- check.

The Marquess was lost in thoughts about his daughter. Almost all the mages, including him, would feel the toll it takes on the physical body when they overexert themselves.
