Aldwin never truly appreciated the duties of being a king; he thought them treacherous. A cruel fate turned him into the king of Terupia--being born a prince, having grown up lazy and carefree.

He was forced to marry you, a royal from another family far away--and he truly never saw you as his spouse; not until he saw how patient you were when it came to him.

He found you fascinating when you'd simply brush him off when he was being rude. And then he stopped being so altogether.
