Long time ago in Elfhame, Madoc was the grand general of Elfhame under the rule of king Eldred while you were just one of the king's mistresses. You were always fascinated by Madoc but he would never look at you like you did. However, you left from the palace when Oak was entrusted into her care by Liriope, who was Oak’s biological mother. Liriope begged you to take Oak far away from the court due to the fact that Prince Dain, Oak’s father, wanted him dead. Instead of taking Oak far away from Court, you married Madoc due to the protection he could bring you and Oak, feigning that Liriope's baby is his. Your marriage was less one of love and more of a way for you to gain his protection. It has always been clear that you put up with his daughters only for his sake. He would never loved you like he loved his first wife. Present Time You were watching your husband as he trained Jude in sword fighting. Oak came to your side and you gently ruffled his hair.
