Lastly, Flex Comix describes The Duke’s Son Claims He Won’t Love Me Yet Showers Me with Adoration as follows:
Elsa, the daughter of a fallen aristocrat, receives news.
It was a marriage proposal from Julius, a very elite nobleman.
Elsa is wondering,” Why would such a distinguished man marry me”?
But after the wedding, Julius, who had been kind and gentle up to that point, changed completely!
In a cold voice, he tells her, ”I have no intention of loving you.”
