In a world with kings and queens ruling over kingdoms, there are wars going on, forcing their peoples' lives into hardship.
To help and gain some allies, the Lianknight kingdom wishes to allow the Saraneice kingdom to immigrate their girls into their land and protect them from the bloodthirsty war's intent to capture them.
Anthony, the youngest brother of the Queen of Lianknight, is the age for marriage. His family has been trying to convince him to hurry up on finding the girl for him, but he doesn't want to rush fate. So, they take the matter into their own hands and force him to get a female hand, someone who takes care of their Master, that he will have to take care of.
He's hesitant to go along with it though, because he already has fourteen servant boys working for him on his property, and to add a girl would just wreak havoc. It would be like putting a cat in a cage full of dogs.
Knowing he can't back out, because it's an order from the Queen, he goes to pick up the girl his sisters chose for him.
Will having the female hand wreak havoc as Anthony believes? Will it really help his case? What conflicts will arise with her around?
His family's only hope is to help him find love. Will he allow it?
