I'm guessing that he knew her from when he was a kid?? Other than that I have no fucking clue
He's cursed. He doesn't have a heart. He's sustaining his life via magic and dies within a year cuz his body can't hold up and is empty from inside (hence the contract of 1 year) but he saw her and his non existent heart raced. So now he thinks she can help him out with magic or something. Also this story is posted in mangago under another name and ihad more chaps. I ain't a novel reader, got the information form there.
Woahhhh ok imma find the story
Omg thank you !! <33
I really want to know why the duke is suddenly in love with her. I refuse to believe it’s a cliche love at first sight again
