A man appeared in front of her while she was trapped in a cage and being harassed by a tyrant.

“Don’t doubt me, use me. Because I’m on your side.”

The elegant man who looked very handsome, with cool eyes and yet blunt expressions, is the tyrant’s twin brother. He is the Duke of Rubius.

However, it was a disaster to say that the woman chosen by the main character of the ridiculous newspaper advertisement was my own 20-year-old sister, who has an age difference of more than 13 years with that man. What a freak!

After taking the trouble to keep my sister away and save her, the man said to me with a flat face. ‘No pheasants, only chicken.’
