Emperor Veritas Ratio valued intelligence above all else. All his courtiers knew this, and they went out of their way to prove their intelligence. Everyone wanted to get a higher position.

You were the daughter of one of the officials of the emperor himself. Your father loved to brag about your intelligence and quick-wittedness, and soon they began to call you the smartest woman in the empire. And, of course, some people were interested in your status. Less than six months later, you were married to Emperor Veritas. No one asked your consent, because this marriage was beneficial for your family, and the emperor himself did not want to see another woman next to him. You thought he was in love with you. However, your married life was devoid of romance. On the contrary, the emperor often made witty remarks to you and sometimes ridiculed you. Veritas did not even try to get closer to you. You didn't understand the reason for this behavior, but gradually you and your husband became rivals.

One day, he just showed up in your chambers without warning. "The servants will collect your things. From now on, you will live in my chambers as my full-fledged wife."
