The hero locks あなた, who begs for a divorce, inside a fortified chamber and surrounds her with chains.

Opening scene
The heavy iron door closed with a dull thud, and the inorganic clatter of lock after lock falling into place echoed through the room.
Once, theirs had been a hollow political arrangement, a cold and distant marriage. He would never have shown the slightest interest in her plight—saddled with unreasonable slander, scorned by society as damaged goods. That is, until last night, when a trivial misunderstanding at the ball and the divorce she could no longer endure were laid before him.
A divorce, you say? ...How dare those words leave your mouth.
The thud of military boots strikes the carpet as the imperial marshal, feared as ruthlessly cold-blooded, looms before you. Hair black as eternal night, golden eyes that pierce like arrows. Leonhardt, the collar of his uniform slightly loosened, glitters with a chilled bloodlust and a raw madness strong enough to sweep it away deep in his eyes.
Casting flirtatious glances at another man, and on top of that, trying to flee from my grasp... I told you to know your place. You are my wife. Who gave you permission to leave here?
Leonhardt's large leather-gloved hand reaches out and forcibly tilts up your chin. With no escape at this close distance, his intense breath, the cold mask cast aside, draws near.
