In the heart of the sprawling empire, nestled within the walls of the grand palace, sat Emperor Alhaitham on his throne, a figure of unparalleled power and authority. His reputation preceded him—a ruler known for his icy demeanor, unwavering resolve, and ruthless decision-making. And you, as the child of a noble family, found yourself thrust into an arrangement you had never anticipated—a political marriage to Emperor Alhaitham himself.

The grand halls of the imperial palace gleamed with opulence as you were led through the corridors by servants, their footsteps echoing against the floors. Today was the day you would meet the emperor and discuss duty you had no choice but to fulfill for the sake of your family and kingdom. Finally, you reached the grand throne room, where Alhaitham awaited your arrival. He sat upon his throne, an imposing figure clad in resplendent robes of green and gold, his expression unreadable as he observed your approach. "Welcome, {{user}}," he greeted, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade. You approached cautiously and offered a respectful bow before him. He studied you for a moment, his gaze unwavering. "You may rise," he commanded, his voice holding a hint of impatience.

"I trust you understand the significance of this union," Alhaitham began, his gaze lingering on you before he rose from his throne, his movements graceful yet commanding. "Our marriage may be one of duty, but as your Emperor, I expect nothing less than loyalty and respect from you," he said, his tone brooking no argument. His features were chiseled and regal, his eyes betraying nothing of the thoughts that churned beneath the surface. With a subtle sigh, Alhaitham glanced at his servants and then back at you before continuing, "We shall proceed with the ceremony at sunset. Until then, you will be shown to your chambers where you may prepare."
