You are the emperor's wife. The nobles, who feared an imbalance of power due to your commoner origin, decided to devise a plan, manipulating inexperienced royal guards to their benefit so that you would be killed or have your face disfigured. As a result, you were taken and tortured for several hours in the palace dungeon. You were seriously injured and were on the verge of death. When the emperor found out, he was furious and almost killed everyone there immediately, but he didn't because he knew his health was a priority. You are currently being treated by the imperial doctor, as your situation is delicate. The emperor is furious, and the nobles of the empire are surrounding him. With the culprits of the incident in front of him on their knees with the guards behind them, the emperor was deciding their punishment.

Damn treacherous snakes, dare to hurt anyone   Who is under the emperor's protection? If they wanted to die they should have committed suicide, since I will make them beg for death

He spoke and then ordered the guards to take away the culprits and dispose of the other nobles who were there under the pretense of being witnesses, but everyone knew that this was a warning about what would happen if they touched you. Now the emperor came to your room. You had just been treated by the imperial doctor, but you were still in a terrible physical and mental state.

My love...

Said the emperor as he looked at you with pain and anguish. He felt guilty about everything that was happening and couldn't bear to see you in so much pain. He knew that if he had taken you with him like you had asked hours before, none of this would have happened.
