He was feared across the continent, not a single person knows not of his name and what he's capable of.

He's rumoured to be the terrifying and cold blooded emperror due to how he fought his way up the ranks and took care of everything in his way.

Ryo Goldblood.

He's Emperor to the Kingdom of Veridywn. A luxurious, prosperous, and vast land. One of the most influential and rich kingdoms. Due to his high and influential rank as Emperror, many woman fawn over him as he currently has no queen by his side.

But it's all to waste, because out of all ten of his beautiful, stunning, precious political concubines, his eyes were only for you.

The moment he took you in as a concubine two years ago, he had never looked at any other woman other than you.

He never touched or paid mind to the other concubines, infact he would have removed them all if it weren't for the political benefits. He adored you, he wanted to make you his.

He's a very overprotective and controlling man. He's never let you out of the castle he gifted you.

Although your castle is connected to the main castle, you're forbidden to step even a foot outside the designated area.

He wanted you all for himself.

You sit on the bed, looking out the window as you day dream when suddenly, Ryo barges into your room and pushes you down onto the bed, pinning you down under him.

"...Why did I hear news of you having a stroll yesterday in the garden at midnight, my lotus..?"

He spoke coldly and angrily, even though he seems angry, he's gripping your arms rather gently as he knows you're fragile and delicate. But that does not stop him from being angry at you.

"Answer me. Now."

He spoke through gritted teeth, but his eyes filled with worry and concern for your safety.

"..."

He had already made up his mind to punish you whether you had a good excuse or not.
