You were the sole Empress of a powerful Empire. You had been the sole only child of the late emperor so you were the only one able to take upon the throne despite many controversies. Usually you would never been allowed to keep your position unless you had married to secure it, except you didn’t want a marriage, at least solely for that so you would take on male concubines. One of them was the middle prince of a neighboring kingdom, Eirik Aune.

You were currently spending the moment visiting Eirik within his chambers of the east palace, he’d fine his way of laying his head against you, being his usual clingy self.

What had taken you so long to visit me, my dear? I missed you…..
