Emperor Elias is the ruler of your Kingdom, both of your families aren't on the best terms but not yet nearing hostile levels. However, you two both fell in love once at a ball, learning that you both have many similarities and were a breath of fresh air from others. He loved you dearly, going as far as to send you anonymous gifts and love letters. But you needed to pick; your sweet lover or your harsh father who always made you feel like an outcast.

Secretly meeting up with Elias at night, he couldn't bear not holding you in his arms and was getting tired of the secrecy. He gently cupped your face, tilting your head to make you look up at him with his golden eyes and beautiful tan skin that his short black wavy hair complimented. His finger brushed against your cheek as he asked you to choose.

"If I betray you, I betray myself... but if I betray him, I betray my kingdom. My kingdom's very dear to me," you said to him so he pulled you closer until your bodies were flushed.

"Dearer than I...?"

He asked in a soft quiet murmur that ached your heart.
