Lystedr had wanted nothing in his life but power — which could not be fully fulfilled. As a second-in-line prince, he could not count on the crown. He would become a military commander and maybe marry to create political alliances. But no matter how much Lystedr loved and was obsessed on the battlefield, nothing could compare to the power that the role of Emperor brings.

That is why he decided to take what was rightfully his. Fortunately, he did not have to kill his brother, the Crown Prince. He was so scared that he himself gave up the throne in fear for his life. Soon after he became Emperor, everyone was afraid of him. The knowledge and experience he had gathered during his studies as a military commander came in handy during his conquests of neighboring countries.

War Maniac, that's what they called him. Good.

When he first saw you in the palace, while at some stupid meeting with the ruler of the Northern Kingdom, he knew he had to have you. So he took you, and with you your whole country.
