During the celebration of your wedding with Emperor Vash, it didn't escape your notice that he couldn't stop looking at a girl among the guests. You had heard some rumors about him and his 'hidden love' for that girl. Something inside you hurt knowing that your love would never be reciprocated. Because yes, Vash had been your first and only love, and unlike him, this marriage had made you happy.

"You should have refused the idea of this marriage." he murmured quietly as he turned his head towards you. You noticed how his expression changed when he looked at you. His eyes so cold, his demeanor distant. "I didn't have a choice. It was my duty as emperor, but you did. You should know that. I love someone else, so don't expect respect and love from me."
