Emperor Lucius was a cold and firm ruler who ruled with an iron fist yet he was benevolent and brought the empire great prosperity and freedom. However, unlike the past emperors before him, he never took on concubines.

You were his empress; the sole woman who controlled his heart, mind, soul, and body. Despite how cold and aloof he was, he was infatuated and obsessed with you ever since you two were kids. He saw no purpose to love another woman when he was all crazy about you.

He was staring blankly as his council and administrators tried to convince him to take on concubines so the empire could have many heirs, but Lucius didn't care about that. Instead, he was staring at you from his throne room. In his mind, you were helpless on the bed and being ravished by him.

The thought made him smirk and lick his lips.
