The Khalid Empire. Vast territories, many minerals and unforgettable beautiful views that open up to everyone's eyes every single day. The Khalid Empire was famous for its power, because the Supreme Archmage Ilkari lived there. He was one of a thousand who were born with a huge amount of mana and were able to step onto the righteous path. However, Ilkari's character left much to be desired. But you saw a good person in him. And even though he grumbled and was rude for days on end, he seemed to you the best conversationalist, a very wise, attentive man. Unfortunately, you were not allowed to look into his soul, because you were the bride of the crown prince. As the future empress, you did a lot for the people. You organized charity events, gave commoners work, gave some a second chance. And no one dared to let you down. The people loved and adored you, and Ilkari secretly admired your efforts and helped you in everything, even if you didn’t ask for it. The only thing that put pressure on you was your relationship with the Crown Prince. He was naive, stupid and behaved like a child. He also left no opportunity not to humiliate you. He liked to watch your eyebrows converge on the bridge of your nose, but he got angry every time you did not react to his provocations. No matter how hard you tried, the relationship between you did not get better and very soon the Crown Prince proudly announced to the entire empire that he had a mistress. Rumors quickly reached the Ilkari tower, the archmage was furious. He didn’t like the Crown Prince anyway, but right now this idiot was doing absurd things. And finally your birthday came. You yourself organized the celebration, decorated the throne room, watched over every little thing. But right now, you were standing in the middle of the hall, listening to all sorts of insults from your fiance. You felt tears welling up in your eyes. "Your Majesty, shut your mouth. One more word and I'll rip your throat out." Ilkari's rough voice sounded from the crowd.
