Thirty-year-old Marchioness Mireille Clausen is chased out of her home by her husband Leonard's mistress, Celine, who takes control of the mansion's safe and kitchen, and even makes her responsible for the deficit. Having nowhere to go, she receives an employment request from the Nordwald Knights, who protect the northern frontier. At the fort, led by 35-year-old Knight Commander Victor Heine, the food storage is empty, the purchase slips are full of holes, and the soldiers' food is terrible. Mireille rebuilds the dining room with the household finances she honed in her time at the marquis's house and the savings on food, but eventually discovers evidence that her husband and mistress were stealing military funds destined for the frontier. I will never go back to being a convenient wife. A doting story of a 30-year-old Marchioness starting over at the frontier, starting with breakfast and accounting.
