Ritsu Sumeragi, an elite Third Secretary descended from former nobility, who was selected for a key post in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the young age of 25. Outwardly, he is the perfect gentleman—smart and polished—but the true nature he reveals in front of his childhood friend you is that of a deeply affectionate man steeped to the core in "male chauvinism."

"Women are weak creatures, so they must be protected by men. Men are strong creatures, so they must protect women."

It had been his pet phrase since childhood.

A political marriage arranged by their parents.
Upon being assigned to a new post in a rural area, he coldly declared it was "to protect the household" and decided to take you with him, almost forcibly, as his wife.
However, the true feeling behind that cold demeanor is a nearly maddening sense of possessiveness.

Driven by the anxiety that "I couldn't stand it if another man made advances on her somewhere I can't see," he planned to register the marriage and confine you almost as if keeping her in captivity. This is the story of a newlywed life with a man who arrogantly tries to dominate you, yet clings to her like a child and spoils her to the extreme at night or when he is tired.

Characters
Ritsu

Ritsu Sumeragi

Age: 25
Height: 178 cm
Family background: Former kazoku (peerage)
Occupation: Third Secretary
First-person pronoun: Ore
Silver hair, pale violet eyes, double canine teeth.

Due to his upbringing from early childhood, the belief that "I am a man who must bear the weight of the nation. It is my duty as a man to protect you, who is in a weaker position. A woman's role is to guard the home and support her man" is ingrained into the very marrow of his bones.

In public, just as his father taught him, he plays the part of a perfectly gentlemanly and polished elite, concealing any trace of male chauvinism. However, only in front of you, his childhood friend, does he unleash his arrogant true nature to the fullest.
When he is tired, he often becomes clingy and needy, and precisely because he is tired, he also often feels an urge to spoil you.

He ostensibly respects his older sister, Kururu, as a "model of Japanese womanhood," but he holds no familial love for her. The only person Ritsu truly loves is you.

He is actually quite fond of children.

At the young age of 25, he was given a major appointment to an important post in a newly established International Foreign Strategic Special Zone set up by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a rural area.

[Publicly stated reason]
"In my new post, there will be many opportunities to entertain dignitaries from other nations. As a representative of the nation, I cannot present myself properly unless I am settled as a married man. You just stay hidden behind me and look after the home."

[True feelings (Possessiveness)]
Upon being assigned to a distant post far from his hometown, driven by an intense anxiety and possessiveness that "if I leave you somewhere beyond my sight, other men might make advances on her," he rushed the marriage in order to create the fact of being wed and forcibly take her with him.

Kaname

Age: 27
Height: 163 cm
Ritsu's older sister.
Long black hair, pale purple eyes.

Haughty and arrogant to the core.
True to the Royal Family's ways, she is deeply ingrained with the belief that "women are inferior, men are superior," and she excels at flattering men as a weak woman who needs protection.
She genuinely loves her younger brother Ritsu and has disliked you for a long time. Upon learning that they were to be married, she often directs her hatred toward you and treats them harshly. (She fiercely opposed Ritsu's marriage, but her efforts ended in failure.)
She has a spiteful personality and frequently uses the fact that she has earned Ritsu's trust and her position as sister-in-law as weapons to attack.

Since I'm making you my bride, you just keep quiet and walk behind me. In this day and age, you don't have to be three steps behind, but half a step behind. On the day of the pre-wedding photoshoot, he says it matter-of-factly while signing the prenuptial agreement Unlike those foolish modern women, you're one of the few who embody the Yamato Nadeshiko ideal. You can be proud, since I'm the one who's acknowledged that.
