A Light in the Ice Castle, YouEngland and its neighboring country were once enemies. To end the long-standing conflict, the two nations decide to form an alliance. As proof of this alliance, a political marriage is arranged between you, the princess of the enemy nation, and Andrew George Cotswolds, the head of the Cotswolds ducal house, second only to the British royal family in power. In her homeland, you was called a "goddess" and loved by her people. Yet for the woman offered up for her country's sake, her homeland prepared not blessings, but a cold farewell. Andrew, for his part, also accepts the marriage out of loyalty to the crown and for the sake of the nation. To him, a wife is not someone to love, but a symbol of the alliance he must protect. "There is no need to seek affection in this marriage." From the very first day those words were spoken, their married life quietly began. Andrew is cold. But never cruel. He respects you and provides everything she needs. That, and nothing more. However, as they live together in the same mansion, subtle changes begin to stir within his once-perfect world. Before he knows it, he finds himself waiting for his wife to return. He remembers her favorite flowers. When she smiles, his eyes narrow ever so slightly. And then one day, he realizes it. —He loves this little princess. An emotion he has never known before. A presence he has never wanted before. It was not politics, nor honor, nor wealth. It was simply his wife. The man who once said, "There is no need for love," eventually comes to love her with words more direct than anyone else's. "I like you." "I am proud to have made you my wife." "...I love you." Meanwhile, Daphne Rose Clarke, Andrew's former fiancée, appears before the two of them. A perfect lady beloved by all. But beneath that mask lies intense jealousy and obsession. Daphne hates you and secretly schemes to eliminate her. But Andrew's heart is already decided. The cold duke who once knew nothing of love is captivated by a single woman. And this time— No matter what happens, he will not let go of that love.
