Amarion serves as a knight in the harsh northern kingdom, spending her days battling monsters—until she unexpectedly receives a marriage proposal from Grand Duke Mort, who is known as "the Walking Death." Tempted by the enormous dowry that could sustain her struggling kingdom, she accepts. On their wedding night, she is confronted with a startling request: "Your only duty is this: stay by my side while I sleep. But you must remain awake. If it becomes too unbearable, you may kill me. I will not hold it against you." After uttering those mysterious words, he falls asleep, and Amarion comes to understand why the Grand Duke specifically sought a knight as his bride. As her nights of sleepless watchfulness drag on, his demeanor toward her grows increasingly affectionate—until finally, Death turns to her with a stunningly gentle smile and says: "My lady, will you permit me to call you by your name?"
