"The love story between a bodyguard knight and a young lady is beautiful... when viewed from the sidelines."

A countess on the brink of ruin, forced into an unwanted engagement by a newly rich merchant who bought her with money, fell into despair. Then she fell into a forbidden love with a knight bodyguard hired by the merchant. The young lady was supported by everyone in the mansion, and one day it was revealed that the knight bodyguard she loved was the son of a high-ranking nobleman. The countess and the knight bodyguard, bound by love, asked the merchant to dissolve their engagement—— The engagement was dissolved. A development like something from a story. However, it did not end in a "happily ever after" like in a story. The perspective is that of the nouveau riche merchant. The setting is loose and vague.
