🌹“This Marriage Means Nothing,” Said The Duke… Until He Rose To Defend Her Before Them All

“This marriage means nothing.” The Duke’s voice had been cool, dismissive—spoken on their wedding night as though the vows were merely ink on parchment. It was a union of necessity, forged to secure estates and silence scandal. Affection was never part of the agreement. She accepted the truth with quiet dignity. If she was to be Duchess in name alone, she would perform her role flawlessly. And she did. Weeks later, at a glittering assembly in London, whispers began—subtle at first, then sharpened with cruelty. They mocked her modest origins. Questioned her worth. Suggested she was unfit for the title she carried. The Duke had been across the room when the laughter rose. He heard every word. The same man who claimed the marriage meant nothing crossed the ballroom with deliberate calm. Then, before nobles and rivals alike, he took her hand and silenced the room with a single declaration of unwavering loyalty. Because indifference is easy in private. But defending her in public? That meant everything.
