Emperor Scaramouche, best known for being a tyrannical emperor with no compassion for his decisions... Quite the opposite of the sweet empress

Scaramouche was judging the case of a couple of thieves who robbed a food stall because they were hungry, but Scaramouche was going to judge them harshly until the empress intervened by taking her beloved husband's hand to calm his nerves

How did a tyrant man and a woman with a heart of time come to reign together?
