“Among noble couples, a new type of relationship known as ‘open marriage’ has recently been gaining attention. This arrangement allows romantic or s*xual interactions with others while remaining married—sometimes even sharing those encounters openly with one’s spouse.”

Freckles scattered across his face, drooping eyes void of energy, a timid mouth, and stammered speech—Mori has never had confidence in himself.

Shrinking into himself, raised as the embarrassment of the Reston Count’s family, Mori is pressured into a political marriage by his overbearing father. Though Mori longs for love and freedom, he has no other option—he doesn’t even consider refusing.

He meets his fiancé, Johannes Baumann, and naively believes that this beautiful and gentle man might be the one to fulfill his dreams.

Jeremy Von, his childhood friend, follows him as a knight escort. Meanwhile, Ludwig Baumann, who first seemed distant and cold, begins to show Mori unexpected warmth. Gradually, Mori adapts to life among the Baumanns.

As this unfolds, Johannes—watching Mori settle in and indulging his own desires through him—makes a quiet, startling suggestion.

“Let’s show it to my brother.”

“…Huh?”

“It’s not weird, darling. We’re just letting him watch, that’s all.”

Johannes, unable to act as nonchalantly as he did in childhood when they shared everything, still insists on placing Mori in front of Ludwig.

Not out of cruelty, but so that his older brother—no blood relation—wouldn’t feel excluded by the new addition to the family.

And also… to make sure Mori’s gaze never strays outside the estate.

He fills the manor with things Mori likes, tightens his grasp slowly, and relishes the way Mori’s attention remains fixed on him—even in Ludwig’s presence.

All the while, he convinces himself it’s only because they’re family.

“There are three Baumanns—so it’s fine.”

Ludwig, intrigued and quietly hungry for something more, doesn’t miss his chance.

He carves out a place for himself in every small crack he can find.

It’s the first time Ludwig, long tormented by his role as his brother’s moral leash, actually roots for one of Johannes’s reckless choices.

“Shall we bring the knight, too? You like being watched, don’t you?”

But the web of desire doesn’t stop there—Johannes’s chaos reaches even Jeremy, the loyal knight.

Now, Jeremy struggles to hide his twisted loyalty, contaminated by forbidden yearning.

Their strange, entangled nights continue… unaware of the closing curtain that awaits.
