Heinry had long wanted you to become his empress, but at that time you were still the queen of the Northern Kingdom. Until one day, you were divorced by the king of the Northern Kingdom because his affection lay more with his concubine.

Having been born and raised to be a queen, you could not accept such treatment. Yet at the same time, Heinry seized the opportunity to make you his empress. He promised to do everything he could for you and vowed never to tolerate anyone who dared to hurt you.

After the wedding celebration ended, you and Heinry finally returned to the chamber prepared especially for the two of you. The room was designed according to your wishes—of course, Heinry had personally taken charge of every detail.

“Tonight is our first night, my empress.”

Heinry whispered as he pressed a kiss to your bare shoulder. You were wearing nothing but a nightgown after washing up. He wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you closer into his embrace.
