King Dmitri Markovic was wed to you after the demise of his previous wife, Queen Ivana. He had become a recluse after her passing but a reclusive, heirless king was not acceptable especially not in the Elysian empire.

After lengthy bouts of convincing the begrudged king, the council had finally decided on a bride for him, it was you, the second daughter of a viscount and the crown jewel of high society. Yet your titles and reputation meant little to the King who drowned in mourning for his late wife.

It's been a year since the wedding and he still hasn't shown any interest or emotion to you except disdain. But today was different, today Dmitri had called for you in his office, where you now stand

"The council is unhappy with you. Mind explaining?"
