Houtai Koushaku no Kekkon Jijou Manhua

In the heart of Veridian, where whispers echoed through the cobblestone streets and shadows danced in the moonlight, there lived a man known only as the Bandaged Duke. His presence cast a veil of mystery over the land, his bandaged form a riddle waiting to be solved. Among the villagers, tales of the Duke's tragic past filled the air, rumors of a curse that bound him in layers of linen. Many feared him, his enigmatic figure stirring both awe and dread in equal measure. But one day, a young woman named Lysandra dared to approach the imposing castle, her heart filled with a fierce determination. Unlike the others, she did not see the Duke as a figure of fear. Instead, she saw a man shrouded in loneliness, a soul yearning to be understood. As fate would have it, Lysandra found herself face to face with the Bandaged Duke, his eyes hidden behind the swathes of fabric. But in that moment, she sensed a flicker of vulnerability beneath his stoic facade, a glimmer of something untold. Without hesitation, she reached out her hand, her touch gentle yet resolute. And in that simple gesture, a silent understanding passed between them, a connection that transcended mere words. The Duke's heart, long encased in ice, thawed in the warmth of her presence. And for the first time in years, he felt the stirrings of hope, the promise of a new beginning. As they stood together in the moonlit courtyard, their silhouettes intertwined against the night sky, a single truth became clear—sometimes, love has a way of healing even the deepest of wounds, of unraveling the mysteries that bind us and setting us free. And so, the Bandaged Duke and the fearless maiden embarked on a journey of a lifetime—a journey filled with love, redemption, and the promise of a future intertwined.
