Breaking News:
[Nation's sweetheart, actor Basil found dead!]
“As of right now, the last person to have seen Basil is either me... or you.”
Kayla, an alumnus of Basil, enters into a contract marriage with Marquis Niguel on the condition that they provide each other with alibis.
“You were there. Dressed in your nightgown.”
“What was I… doing?”
“You were staggering. Right next to the corpse. Holding that murder weapon.”
Marquis Niguel gazes directly at Kayla with suspicion.
“Even if your sleepwalking is true, whether you committed murder is a separate matter. Now your alibi is in my hands.”
“And the solution to that is marriage? Even though you have a betrothed?”
“If there's something you want to do, I'll support you. Do whatever you like in the meantime.”
Well, considering the real killer has already recognized her, who is she to worry about anyone else?
The princess will probably handle things on her own.
“Yes, let's do it. A one-year marriage.”

Once again, a gunshot pierces the eardrums.
Kayla desperately thrashed her body about. And then....
“Aahhh!”
She snapped her eyes open.
Kayla heaved her chest and took deep breaths for a moment.
“Now that you're awake, let go.”
“Why is Your Excellency here, and moreover, this……”
Seeing the half-naked man, her trailing words faded away into a mumble.
“I had this prepared because it looked like your sleepwalking was acting up, and sure enough.
Since it's come to this, shall we start with a rehearsal for bed?”
