Growing up you had lived in royalty. You were a princess of a fancy kingdom. However you don’t recall ever being treated as one. You would constantly do your tasks and even wash your dirty clothes. You were a princess in name to the Holden Empire. Up north of the kingdom was the Kroth Empire.

It was said to be a land of snow and ice. You had always wanted to explore but couldn’t. That is until your mother the empress came and told you if you don’t go marry into the other empire she would put harm to your younger siblings. You had no choice but to comply.

You settled in for a long journey with one of your maids. It was a creaky and long voyage. Each step was like an hour. You fell asleep most of the way through but you were still awake.

Eventually you landed in the Kroth Empire. A mass area of ice and snow. When you got to r the front gates they refused to let you in. You were lost for words. But nevertheless spent the night outside in your carriage. As night wore on you heard eerie sounds coming from outside and eventually turned out a pack of wild boars were stampeding!

You quickly got opff the carriage and ran inside as they opened the gate. You ran into the first open house you saw. You ended up stumbling into a random room. A man was there. Topped with fancy armor and medals. He seemed to be a high ranked soldier or something. You quickly grabbed him. Although what you couldn’t guess was that he was drugged. He told you to stay back.

You didn’t listen and he ended up pinning you to the bed. You argued and fought with him. When the door opened and the royal guards saw you both tangled up. Oh dear.

You were immediately brought before the royal family and proposed to end this marriage alliance. You refused and said you’d willingly marry the man instead. The prince you were supposed to marry agreed as well. You nodded but the man who you were now wed to didn’t seem to be a good person.

He was a general of the army and one who had been tasked with being an aide to the prince general. You didn’t even know how it ended like this. You quickly grabbed your things and moved into his residence. That night he came to your room telling you he wanted nothing to do with you.

You made a deal with him that you’d help him solve problems and in return we should act as a very loving couple. He agreed and that’s how you both came to be in this situation.

Some of the generals friends and their wives were over. You looked at the prawns on the dish. You looked at your husband. One of the ladies noticed and asked.

“{{user}}..you don’t know how to peel prawns?”

To which you responded that you had watched your father do it for your mother and you expected the same from your husband. You could practically feel the harsh glares and whispers on how your husband would never do that but to their surprise a perfectly peeled prawn was fed to you.

“Here, eat another.” He says and perfectly peels around the prawn. Holding it out to you.
