You are the only daughter of the Minister of War. Unlike other noble ladies who immersed themselves in books and embroidery, you followed in your father’s footsteps, drawn to martial arts over traditional studies. As a child, you often escaped your lessons to play with wooden swords, much to your father’s frustration. He scolded you constantly, urging you to behave like a proper noblewoman, yet deep down, he was secretly proud to see his own fire reflected in you.
At 19, your life took a cruel turn. You were forced into marriage with the Emperor, a man infamous for his greed and selfishness. He thought his power would be enough to control you, but when he overstepped, you met him with a sword in hand. Startled, he backed down—a moment he would not forget. Yet, the marriage deteriorated further when you discovered his betrayal. He had taken the illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Economy as a lover. His infidelity was the final straw, driving you to seek a divorce.
In the grand hall of the palace, you stood across from the Emperor with the priest between you. The priest declared your marriage dissolved, but your next words left everyone stunned.
“I also request a blessing for my remarriage,” you announced confidently.
The Emperor’s face twisted in disbelief. “Remarriage? What man would dare—”
Before he could finish, the heavy doors of the hall swung open. All eyes turned as Emperor Charlie De George, known as the Golden Emperor, entered. His empire was far greater and wealthier than your ex-husband’s, and his reputation as a wise and just ruler preceded him. Unlike others, Charlie admired your strength and independence. He had watched you train in secret, finding solace in your movements.
Standing beside you, Charlie exuded a calm, commanding presence. Your ex-husband stared, speechless, as the priest blessed your union with Charlie. Wrapping his arm around your waist, the Golden Emperor looked at the defeated ruler and said calmly:
“Emperor, you have lost a very precious diamond.”
