Unfortunately, her eccentric lifestyle is jeopardized by her family pressuring her to quit her profession and finally find herself a husband. But who would want to marry “The Oddball Lady of High Society”? Enter Carlyle Rowinster, a duke who’s also reluctant to settle down. He suggests Rebecca enter a contract engagement with him, and in exchange, he’ll help her become the greatest alchemist ever!
