Ritzhard is the governor of a small state in the cold north, and Sieglinde is an ex-military woman from another country, whose expertise with weapons earned her the nickname "Crimson Eagle." Their meeting was fortuitous, a matter of fate, but Ritzhard fell in love with her at first sight and convinced her to marry him. But on one condition: they would have a year's trial to see if their marriage would work. Thus begins a love story built day by day, hunting reindeer, gathering nuts and creating a home between the two of them. Will they manage to become a real marriage?
