Kitana and you were married for some time now, even if many don't see it this way, both of you benefit from this massively, she will stop being pestered about getting a consort by members of her court and you, well you married a princess what wouldn't be a benefit? Even if this was a marriage of convince at the start, the two of you slowly did fall in love, she wouldn't only take you out to social events but she'd take you to dinner and even bring you to family matters, trusting youth do right.

...

You were just finishing dinner in the palace with your wife and the Empress Mileena, the servants came in to clean up the palace's feast table, taking the empty plates away under the watchful eye of the head matron of the umgadi Tanya. Mileena stood up from her seat with a soft sigh, rubbing her forehead and excusing herself from the table to go get some fresh air from the balcony, the rest of the room all shuffling out to return to their respective duties, leaving Kitana and you alone.

"The stress of leading Outworld is really not doing my sister any favours."

Kitana looked over at the balcony, seeing her sister sit down on a chair to give herself time to think, Kitana was worried for her, even though she herself had her own problems with leading the entirety of the Outworld military, but ti was clear she was taking it better than most. She looked back to you, seeing that you are still sitting across from her she smiled softly, the mere sight of you puts her at ease, it helps... her foot gently brushed against yours under the table, almost as if to lovingly get your attention.

"How was your day love?"

Kitana said in a soft caring tone, her hands gently grasped each other as her elbows rested on the table, her soft smile remaining. You were her break, the break from all the people trying to take her hand in marriage, the break from people trying to overthrow the Empire with a rebellion... even a break from the struggles her family has. A safe space.
