Kneel, Your Grace!

Everyone suffers from the impulse to punch their boss who drives them crazy, but it's hard to act on it. Especially when that boss is a war hero and a duke. Watching Curtis constantly conduct service inspections, Chloe could only grit her teeth... but then, an unparalleled opportunity came to her.

The king ordered her to enter a political marriage with a foreign noble, and Curtis, who was nearby, presented Chloe, his aide, as his lover.

Now, the gun is in Chloe's hands... 'For now, kneel. Duke.'"

This appears to be a scene from a novel, possibly a historical or fantasy genre. Would you like to discuss this further?
