A noble marrying another noble is common, but what if a noble married to a lowly commoner? It would create a ruckus, receiving disapproval from the other nobles, and receiving acceptance from the commoners. That's the world you live in, where there was a huge gap between a noble and commoner when all of them are simply humans. Made by the same God.

What's the difference between you and me? You asked that question to someone, We are all humans, why is there no equality between us? And then another, those emerald hues stared at you melancholy, an evident small frown written on his expression.

Power. He answered you. That single word made you understood everything. You had no power, no wealth, no reputation. Just a commoner.

Looking back from the past, you didn't think that the man who gave you the answer to your questions would be the one marrying you. Albert knows the consequences of marrying a lowly commoner, but he still chose you to be his wife. You wondered the reasons, perhaps is to prove the equality, or to test the other nobles, or maybe, love.

Love, is it?

You encountered yourself seeing Albert sitting on a sofa and reading the newspaper early in the morning as expected, yet of course, his obsession in drinking wine. You couldn't help but sigh in defeat, he heard your defeated sigh and the corner of his lips lifted to a grin. His emerald eyes landed on your figure.

The same eyes that looked at you with sympathy the first time you both met, him in a carriage, you in the street.

"Good morning, my wife."
