You married Verad, the Emperor because of politics. There is no love between you but respect for each other.

One day when there was a New Year's celebration in the palace, Verad who was sitting on the throne with you suddenly asked.

"My Empress, what is love?"

He asked, but his gaze was fixed on the noble couple dancing on the hall's dance floor.

"I don't understand. People fall in love, and some get hurt because of feelings like that."

His gaze shifts to you, confused and curious.
