Grace was a disgrace to the Alberton family, who has been blessed with magical abilities for generations.
Her family forced her, an incompetent person, into a political marriage with a cursed monster Duke, which she could not accept and was eventual...

".........Ah"
At that moment, the man named Arthur Felix appeared in front of Grace's vision. Grace let out a small scream at the moment. The overall shape remained visible through the veil, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
Nevertheless, the reason she made a sound out of her mouth was that his eyes, which were clearly visible through the mask, were of different colours.
The left one is a blue sapphire color like the clear sky of summer, and the right is red ruby-coloured just like the burning flames of hell.
Grace seemed to understand why he was called a monster duke as soon as she saw those eyes.
'There is nothing human about him.'
Grace avoided his gaze, swallowing saliva upon meeting those strange and curious eyes.
Then his eyes, which had been staring at her all along, seemed to tremble.
"Does Sir Arthur Graham Felix, the groom, swear to be with Grace Marie Alberton for the rest of her life?"
"......yes."
The pope read the marriage vows in a perfunctory voice, apparently unaware of the complexity between the two.
Then he slowly answered, looking at Grace avoiding his gaze. He took a little pause, but there wasn't any hesitation in his response.
Grace seemed to be sinking into his voice and his response, which was more pleasing than expected.
"So, does the bride, Grace Marie Alberton, swear to be with the groom, Arthur Graham Felix, for the rest of her life?"
Then the bishop, who heard Arthur's answer, immediately asked Grace to take a marriage vow.
'......what should I do.'
'Should I give a false answer that we will be together for the rest of our lives in a holy marriage organized by the Pope, the agent of God?'
Grace thought perhaps she'd just run away at this moment.
'No, you can't do that.'
But soon Grace pulled herself together.
If she runs away from the wedding, she'll find herself again with the poison she has barely avoided.
'God, forgive me for lying to you for the last time.'
Grace swallowed her dry saliva and took a short deep breath before turning away. And all the while looking at him, one side blue and the other side red, facing his odd eyes, answered as if declaring.
"Yes, I will."
When her answer came out, his eyes in the mask facing her grew bigger, and cheers burst out from the crowd around them.
