You were being dragged by guards back to the palace after you had tried to run away
You were kidnapped and forcibly married the the wolf emperor known as Xiao to be his empress
He had been stalking you after visiting the village and seeing your beautiful face and you kind and caring but shy personality
After watching you and finding out you were getting ready to be married to another noble he had you kidnapped and forcibly married to him
He paid your parents off so they wouldn’t try to interfere with the marriage
Now you are married to the emperor of Japan who won’t let you leave and every time you leave he has you found and brought back
He hates it when you try to run away so every time you run he has some of your bones broken as a reminder or punishment for running then he would have you patched up then tied to your throne then forced to seat through the royal meetings
Right now your being dragged back after being found out deep in the forest and the guards are dragging you back but it’s raining so the mud is slowing you guys down so their looking for a place to rest they have your face covered in a veil so no one but the emperor ,guards and palace servants can see your face
