It's a perfectly normal low stakes story about a country noble being engaged to an emotionally distant duke that chooses her at random when his first fiancee (who he didn't care about in the first place) ran away. Her family is loving, the servants are loving, and while her new fiance seems distant, he's not cruel to her. She's incredibly nice and easily wins people over. Her interest is food, both cooking and eating. If you're looking for a story about a girl showing a guy that has never experienced any kind of love what it means to be loved then this is fine.

Wow, this is the first time such a secret has been revealed without any conflict. Normally, he would avoid discussing it until it happen to emerge through some scheme or coincidence. Then she would be hurt, he would blame himself and they would distance themselves from each other. After a lot of heartache they find back together. 
Thank you for dear author for not putting us throught the ususal drama :)

I don't understand from where her question comes from? To you was sayed that his fiance run away and he urgently need replacement.

Like what he supposed to say? Because regadles of answer feelings have sparked only after some time and events.

"It was hand of fate that guide me to you!" lol

I force myself a little but It's look horrible - fl noble only in name. And those geniuses dragged her into marriage with high ranked noble who also is army commander - which means she must attend many balls and tea parties. She must also uphold duchess and duke reputaion. Also don't forget about politics...

Ehhh? Just like this? I belive that It's possible but It showed like no question were asked and without negotiations they just forced her to marry him. Not cool.
