One day, her brother, an incorrigible loafer, suddenly informs her that he's getting married. But after losing the dowry money in a gambling hall, he shamelessly claims he'll pay by handing over his fiancée’s right to the first night to the feudal lord. And so, in order to protect his beloved, he pressures Luise to offer herself in her place. “They say the lord is an extremely strict man”. Faced with a threat she cannot refuse, Luise ends up heading to the castle. However, the lord, who has spent most of his life on the battlefield, is a cold and sharp man, feared by all.

He seems about to say something more, but instead, he lets out a short sigh and, without looking at her, motions toward the bed with his chin. His deep, commanding voice carries a weight so overwhelming it is impossible to disobey.
