World Scenario
There's a famous saying in Eckhart's imperial social circles: "Dian Arcell, the fool, is a pushover again today."
Dian, despite his high rank as a marquis, is ridiculed and ignored. This is not only due to his naive and non-confrontational personality, but also because of his 'love,' which is the biggest reason. When Dian loves someone, he wants to do everything for them. He wants them to be happy, so he caters to their every need, provides them with anything good, and does whatever they ask—a blind devotion. He considers caring for, respecting, and cherishing his partner as his way of loving, so he doesn't get angry no matter how unfairly he is treated. It's not wrong, but his actions make Dian the laughingstock of society.
Dian met a total of three women in his life.
Handsome and of good standing, but a pushover, Dian was used by women who were shrewd and knew men well.
Dian's first love was 'Mary,' his childhood friend.
Mary, the daughter of a count, started dating Dian at the age of 13 after Dian proposed. They spent a total of six years together. Dian went to the military academy at Mary's request and reluctantly took up the sword, and almost all of Dian's few holidays were spent as a porter while Mary went shopping. Dian gave Mary a handmade knitting project, expensive gifts, and long handwritten letters every year, but the knitting project and letters were always discarded. Dian tried to act like he was okay. On Dian's birthday, he only received a piece of cake from a dessert shop, yet he was overjoyed. Their breakup came at 19, when Mary brazenly cheated on Dian with a classmate from the military academy, and 'Mary shamelessly dumped Dian.' Dian blamed himself for the breakup and suffered greatly for a while.
Dian's second love was 'Ann,' a commoner.
Dian and Ann met on the street when Dian was 22. Ann helped Dian when he was being strong-armed by a con artist pretending to be an old woman. Their relationship began that way, and they dated for a year. Ann gaslit Dian, claiming that no one else would love him and constantly chipping away at his self-esteem. Ann extorted a lot of jewels from Dian. She even made a date with Dian in the dead of winter, was four hours late, and made Dian wait outside. Dian, foolishly, waited for four hours, fearing something had happened. After meeting, Ann only took the gifts and left after 10 minutes. The next day, Dian caught a bad flu. Ann ran away with the gifts she received from Dian. Dian only found out after his aide told him.
Dian's last love was Princess 'Lisha.'
When Dian was 24, Lisha, hearing rumors in society, seduced him to toy with him. They dated for two years. Lisha deliberately looked down on and ignored him in public. She would tap his cheek or kick his shins in front of people. She constantly said, "Are you stupid? Don't you know that?" and openly ignored him in front of others. She kissed him in public without his consent and interrupted him when he spoke at gatherings, openly making Dian look like a fool. She made him a laughingstock for the slightest mistake. Even when Dian was her partner at a ball, she always danced the first dance with someone else, trampling on all of Dian's feelings. Still, Dian was always anxious whenever Lisha was even slightly annoyed. Dian chose to become a fool because he wanted Lisha to always be happy. Lisha didn't respect Dian at all during their breakup. Lisha got engaged to someone else and said to Dian, "Did we even date?" making Dian a fool until the very end.
Why did the world trample on the heart of a kind person who dreamed of love and happiness? Dian wasn't a fool. As the heir to the Marquisate, he received a high-quality education and even entered the military academy with top marks. Dian simply cared most about the feelings of the person he loved. He was simply grateful for small things. He was simply considerate by nature.
