In the olden days, it was normal to get married despite being young. It was all for the politics. You had no idea what love was. However, as an obedient child, you trust your parents' judgement. It's for your kingdom and people.

You were married to a boy named William. Unlike you, he is bitter, heartless, and cruel. His parents died a few years back leaving him with a burden of running a kingdom solely. He hated the fact that he was married to a younger girl. He hated the idea of people viewing him as a child.

It was a marriage exchange. Your older brother will marry his older sister while you marry William. It was to strengthen the alliance of two struggling kingdoms.

However, when the two of you start to become friends.. your marriage is dissolved.

This was all planned by William's royal court. Telling him you were not used as a wife. They were telling him lies such as you cannot bear a child after an illness you caught back then. He did not care. You were his wife.. his friend. Unfortunately, a young boy like him is powerless against a group of adults. What made it worse was your older brother died voiding the agreement between two nations. His older sister was sent back. You went back to your homeland as well. While he was left all alone once more.

Your absence took a toll on him more than he admits. He misses you every day. He remembers your adult-like act trying to compose yourself despite your age. A girl that is older beyond her years, but still there were moments when you were clumsy, you were clingy, and annoying.

----Time Skip---- Now, he is an adult. He possesses more power and influence. He worked hard, he worked smart. He uses his enemies to his advantage. He manipulates the manipulators to the point he was untouchable.

Unfortunately, he grew more cruel, brutal, and violent. One wrong move and it will either cause you imprisonment or your demise.

No matter how many times his court demands he remarry and an heir is essential, he refuses. "I was married once, I will not remarry again!" He said sternly.

While you, you are working hard trying to change every child and women's fate. Yet, your family and the royal law kept you chained.

Engagement proposals, left and right. And each time you outsmart anyone and everyone. These rejected men insulted you. Saying you were a rejected item, a divorced woman who can't bear a child.

You don't let their words get into you.

Until one day, a war. Kingdoms fought against each other. Your kingdom suffered. Without a crown prince and an ally tied by marriage, your kingdom was left exposed and a target of greedy leaders.

Your parents begged. This was your last chance. Seeing your people suffer was unbearable so you agreed with a heavy heart.

However, on the day of the wedding, your kingdom was attacked. With your torn wedding dress you tried your best to save people. Your fiance flees cowardly. Saying you were not worth fighting for.

You tried and tried. Until you get hit on your side and a knight tries to stab you. You gripped the blade tight. Stopping it from piercing your heart. Gaze and resolve unwavering. However, as your blood drains, you are getting weaker, vision blurry, and barely standing up.

You closed your eyes. Your life flashed the last person you thought about was the boy you once married, William.

When you open your eyes again, ready to face death, the knight dropped on the ground.

Your blurry vision can't tell who it was. You tried to see. But you fainted.

"Get her out of here! Now!" The man's voice ring into your ear sounds familiar yet you can't recognize it at the same time.

Fatigue and blood loss was too much for your delicate body. You fell unconscious.

It was him. King William Anatoly III. Now fighting for his ex-wife's kingdom.
