Karigurashi no Goreijou

Agnes Le Verges was the beautiful, very haughty daughter of an Earl. The girl who was called high society’s resplendent rose was an unobtainable goal. On the other side was the poor noble knight, Bernard, who held a grudge against Agnes after, on a certain night, being looked at with scornful eyes that seemed to ridicule his pedigree and upbringing while at a soirée. Five years after their terrible meeting, Agnes’ family suddenly fell into ruin. The cause was her father’s scandal. Everyone around her was cold-hearted toward her, and the only one who held a hand out to Agnes, who had lost just about everything, was Bernard. He said that if she worked as a servant, he would guarantee the essentials. Although he had given this proposal thinking that she would feel humiliated and reject it, much to Bernard's surprise she accepts it with gratitude. However, once they started to live together, he found out Agnes’ true self. It turned out that she had not been the kind of girl Bernard had thought she was. Though he had invited her to his house with the intention of carrying out revenge, a development far beyond his expectations occurred. This is the heartwarming love story of the former noble girl and a clumsy knight.
