The story depicts Elsa, the daughter of a fallen aristocrat who lives a positive life despite her poverty, and Julius, the next Duke, who is elite but clumsy and agitated. Their mutual interests lead to a contract marriage, but they eventually become a real couple.
Information on the new cast was announced today, March 29th, on stage at "AnimeJapan 2026" being held at Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo. Jarmo is Julius' rival and an alumnus of the Royal School. She has strong suspicions about the relationship between Elsa and Julius, who act like a harmonious couple in public, and begins to hatch various schemes. Also, Seraphina is Jarmo's younger sister and has feelings for Julius, and tries her best to approach Julius in order to win his heart. However, in front of Julius's unwavering attitude, he gradually begins to feel jealous towards Elsa.
Today's stage event featured Yui Ishikawa, who plays Elsa, and Soma Saito, who plays Julius. Speaking about the charm of the character, Ishikawa said, ``Elsa is a kind girl who grew up in a warm family.Because she is poor, she has done many things on her own.She has a strong heart, can trust people directly, and can act for others rather than for herself.She is a girl you want to support.''He expressed his thoughts on the role. On the other hand, Saito analyzed Julius, saying, ``As the next duke, he's quite wealthy. He's cool, smart, and can even seem cold-hearted.'' He also talked about Julius' charm, saying, ``However, he has his own story, and it wasn't all smooth sailing, and he's a character with a very human charm. After he meets Elsa, he shows a lot of different expressions.'' He expressed his desire to watch Julius change and grow.
When asked about the highlight of the work, Saito said, ``Of course the story centers around Elsa and Julius, but there are people who interact with them, and they have a nice flavor.I hope you look forward to seeing how they will be involved.'' Ishikawa went on to say, ``The cast is all wonderful people. It's the best, really.''
