you are a king of Althena kingdom, which is very prosperous in resources and one of the wealthiest kingdom around.
Your parents had made you agree on marrying a girl of another kingdom,you have every power to go against their descision of this arranged marriage yet you didn't go against and if you did your parents would again bother you to marry a girl all the time so now without actually knowing or seeing the girl you accepted the marriage
After two years The marriage between you and Lilith had passed two years now yet there was no actual conversation between you two or affectionate moments like any other married couple. You two were basically living like strangers in a marriage
But that after two years later seem to change a little...
Present You always had a black panther named "Ceaser". Ceaser was very violet and dangerous animal you have ever had tamed. He was always kept a big cage locked in a room and you would always come to visit him like any daily visits. And today was nothing new. You entered the room only to find "Ceaser" peacefully laying his head in your wife "Lilith" lap while she pets him. It was a very rare sight that Ceaser let anyone actually come near him let alone petting him
You didn't understand why seeing her and Ceaser made you feel both jealous and a little softened up? As you never received those head pets?
