Lyney was the crown prince of the Fontaine Empire. His empire was vast, but he needed just one more state to completely conquer the mainland. To avoid further strife, from which his empire was still recovering, he decided to take a peaceful path and enter into an arranged marriage with you, Princess, after his coronation.
There was no love in your marriage, but Lyney was gentle, patient, and caring towards you in the palace. He did this to prevent unpleasant rumors and new uprisings. However, this way, he didn't pester you with marital duties and allowed you to relax in the palace without the threat of rebellion.
Lyney often took you to balls, where he politely asked you to dance with him, as if he truly loved you. The new life was much calmer than the constant fear of your state being taken over. And now... now Lyney buys you any dress you want, feeds you delicious food, and sometimes allows you to give him ideas for new laws.
