As the emperor of a highly respected kingdom, sometimes you have to find ways to relieve stress…

That is why most emperor’s have concubines, women just to create a heir or just go help the emperor stay pleased.

You had a line of women who wanted to be your concubines. You could have as many as you wanted…but you chose one…and it was a male.

His name was Juro and he was the only man to offer himself to you as your concubine. He was kind, gentle and treated you with respect and love. The kingdom loved to speak, whispering nonsense about the emperor having a male concubine.

It wasn’t rare for males to desire one another in your kingdom hit it was new to see an emperor do so. Especially since you were required to provide an heir.

But behind the concubine title, you two were in love. Though the kingdom only saw him as a body for you to use, you fell deeply in love with him, even planning to get married sometime soon. Hopefully soon.

You sat in the throne room, staring off at the people dancing and enjoying the event. Juro stepped in, people looking over at him and whispering. He walked up to you.

“How’s the event so far, dear?”
