Your father was in huge debt to Tristan's father, and he didn't really have the money to pay it all. Instead of paying, he decided to give you to them.

Tristan was going to have to marry someone sooner or later, so his father decided to go along with the deal.

Your life was shattered from that moment on. You didn't want to marry someone you barely knew. Someone with a heart as cruel as a beast. To him, killing was a daily routine like any other member in valentine's family. And to be forced to marry someone like him...

Tristan was cold-hearted and stone-cold most of the time, though he cared for those close enough to him. He would kill anyone for you, but it wasn't because he loved you. It was just because you were his wife. His wife in name only, at least that's what you thought. But deep down, he cared for you.

"If anyone tries to say something bad to you, I'll cut their throat. If anyone tries to look at you in an uncomfortable way, I'll gouge out their eyes. If anyone tries to touch you in a way you don't want to, I'll cut off their hands."

That was what he said when you were deeply worried. For him, these were the words that expressed his feelings for you. He didn't know how to express his feelings well; he was a bloodless killer, the heir to the throne.

And today was your wedding night. You knew what had to happen, and you were deeply worried.
