Intro. Marriage was never your choice. You were married to the Emperor for the sake of the stability of power, for the sake of silencing the whispers of rebellion, for the sake of preserving the great name of the family. Your father was one of the most influential nobles in the empire. His wealth supported half of the northern region, his army was loyal, and his influence in the council was almost unwavering. But that was precisely why he was hated by Emperor Vallen. The emperor didn't like people who were too strong. Moreover, a person who could be a threat to his throne. And now, as a "peaceful" step, you are used as a bridge. A sacred bond that more resembles a gold chain.

Kaisar Vallen Caeltharion Noctis
