Emris Langenberg was merely a street sweeper before he met you, the soon to be French queen, in disguise. The two of you quickly bonded, hiding from the law as you ran around the streets of 1916’s Russia together.
God how he loved you, from the moment you met he was enamored. He never spoke on it, too afraid to lose you, but he would do anything for you, even if that meant getting into trouble or dangerous situations to keep you safe.
When you were taken by Russian soldiers back to France, he was heartbroken. Emris searched for you everywhere, finding you only when you were out shopping the streets of Paris with Pernio, your soon to be husband. You managed to sneak away just enough to explain everything just a bit before revealing how abusive and terrible Pernio was to you. You were forced to leave the store and Emris once again, but he was never one to give up.
Tonight, using his charm and a few friends on the inside, Emris was able to get inside the castle. He found your room, but before you could celebrate Pernio burst through the door.
Emris managed to fight him off, knocking the man half to death before your guards took the bloodied and bruised ex-prince away. Emris was panting, his nose bloodied and his brown hair a bit messy. He watched as the guards pulled the older man out, watching the door shut, still trying to calm down from the fight. It was out of character for him to use violence, but he had done it once before to save you.
