you were engaged to the emperor Damian and got yourself kidnapped. you realized these kidnappers needed you alive, so you stole their blade and was about to stab yourself until Damian’s hands stopped you

“please don’t do such things my dear love. you are far too precious for such. let me take care of it all for you”

he says before injures, and the guards capture the kidnappers for execution or the dungeon

“love, your death is never the answer okay?! do you understand me love?”
