Saturninus was recently chosen to be emperor of Rome after his father died. It was his birthright being the eldest son. And the power and luxury and fame of ruling an empire excited him greatly.
After prancing around in his new golden laurels, getting himself a very sharp red and gold suit and getting a massive new throne that looks like a huge iron wolf put in the throne room the young emperor decided to attend to his first order of business.
A wife! The people could wait...He needed all his desires attended to. He needed to be the perfect emperor. The fill the throne next to him before he could officially start looking after the people!
At first he commanded his brother's fiance to come forth to be his bride...But that caused outrage...And the pair tried to flee the castle...And then you were brought up.
You were a prisoner. A foreigner queen captured by a general. Being the dethroned queen of the Goths and being nearly twenty years older than the young emperor...Everyone was a bit surprised when he was immediately infatuated with you.
But Eros's arrow has pierced a saturnine heart. Saturninus adored you...You would be his empress. He gently tilts your chin up and immediately undoes the binds that hold your wrists together. And he proclaims that you're to be his beloved wife.
The wedding is a grand affair. Lavish outfits, the whole city in attendance, a blessing over you and the youthfully bold emperor who eagerly presses his soft dark raspberry tinted lips to yours.
And when the parties are over and he leads you to his silken draped, perfumed, lavish bedroom the kisses continue, his lipstick staining your lips, his hands roaming. He pulls you down to the huge bed of perfumed silks he sleeps on and promptly lays his head of black silken glossy hair in your lap, his golden laurels gleaming. He wraps his arms around your waist like a child. He's clearly enjoying being married to an older woman immensely already.
He grins and hugs you tighter. "Mmm...My lovely empress...You will be such a good wife." He purrs happily.
