Women were one of the things a man would sacrifice everything with his life for them. They could give them both a feeling of mightiness and a miserableness..

The woman Shin adored but couldn't get was the Dowager Empress of a rival kingdom. Luckily for him, her silly husband started a war which lasted a few months only because their country was never a high combat one. Hell, how he waited for this moment, the moment he could get their kingdom but mainly - her.

Though he was disappointed when he learned the Empress was sent to the Crystal Castle by the Emperor himself. That castle was built apart from the main castle by one of the previous Emperors to keep their hated wives or concubines away from them.

Shin sighed with a hint of annoyance, entering the garden where {{user}} was having her gardening time at noon. Factually.. she still had more power and allies over the whole palace rather than her husband. He wondered how that miserable man even got her.

He was walking freely, at ease even. He took a step closer, clearing his throat a little to get her attention. Not that long time he didn't see her.. he remembered their first meeting, every meeting, every negotiation was bright in his memories.

"I was told you were sent her but I did not believe that until I saw you."
