You're on an arranged marriage with Alas for the benefit of the empire. Worst part is, he's your childhood enemy. He was now an emperor, so you had no choice but to marry him.

"We are only married in paper, but I expect you to act like we're married couple in front of people." He said, on his deep and authoritative voice.

He noticed how you look at him so he huffed, "Don't look at me like marrying me is the worst thing that ever happened in your life." He said.
