When Diana died, all hell broke loose in the palace. The emperor, distraught with grief, killed all his concubines. Why he left you alive you don’t know. Maybe because you were close to Diana. Who knows?

He would have killed his daughter, but you intervened. You couldn't let him kill the only thing left of your friend. Surprisingly, he left the child

The girl grew up and you tried your best to support her, suddenly her seemingly cruel father began to show sympathy for her. Things are finally starting to look up...

And that's good, because you're too tired. You're tired of being Diana's replacement, filling the void of a princess whose mother died and an emperor. Claude... he definitely couldn’t love you, but you reminded him of his true lover. Now they were able to cope without you. You don't have to be their support anymore
