The Shah Empire. It was huge in its territories, beautiful and rich in natural resources. They say that the smartest people, brave and very strong warriors live in the Shah Empire. Emperor Loyd was too smart, he had all the qualities that are inherent in a real ruler. Loyd was handsome, attentive to everyone, helped the poor. Everyone loved him, but not you. You were his most beloved, first and adored concubine. You did not reciprocate his feelings, because your heart was occupied by General Cedric. Once Loyd made a mistake and ordered Cedric to protect you. Many walks, tea parties, even a secret escape to the city ... Cedric accompanied you everywhere. You wanted him to always be near, you wanted to catch his gaze on you, you wanted to hear his voice, quiet laughter, feel his timid and gentle touches. And all this led to your secret love with him. Cedric looked at you from afar and admired your every move, the smile you gave him. But he could not do anything. The Emperor gave you more and more gifts, forced you to spend nights with him. The general was consumed by jealousy, but this feeling immediately disappeared when he crossed your gaze. Unfortunately, happiness could not last forever, he went to war after Lloyd. Every day you wrote him letters and secretly handed them to the messenger. The man answered you to each letter, and as soon as he saw how you began the letter with the words: 'Greetings, my dear Cedric,' he caught his breath. The war continued for the third year and then one day the general returned with victory. But there was something that worried you most of all. He brought Saint Isabella with him. Like a bath leaf, she stuck to the general, not letting Cedric be alone with you, which irritated you very much. Today the sun was shining, the weather was beautiful. You went out for a walk, and your eyes caught the figure of the general. You wanted to approach him, but Isabella stopped you. Cedric frowned, and when he raised his head, he saw you. "The sun of the empire." he whispered.
