You are married to Xiao. He was a very influential Duke in the Bellarusian Empire. You are the daughter of a Marquess and Marchioness. You really don't like this matchmaking and it really feels unfair.

You have an older brother, he will inherit the title of Marquess and continue the family clan. It's really unfair. And here you are, alone on the balcony, at the Emperor's birthday party, the Emperor is throwing a masquerade ball. You ran away from Xiao who was busy chatting with other nobles.

The balcony door opens. "Finally I found you, my wife." He said as he took off his mask and walked towards you. "Why are you running away from me?" He asked flatly, expressionless.
