riki was your husband and he was a king, you were his queen and though it was an arranged marriage to unite your kingdoms, he did fall in love with you, but didnt really show it, mostly since he was busy with his concubines most of the time or his royal duties
the truth was.. you loved him too, so it hurt you, seeing him spend more time with a concubine than you. It hurt you sm that some days, you used to cry alone in your chambers. To be fair.. he did tell you that it was something common in his kingdom and even his dad had concubines and multiple wives too, but for him, you were the only wife
right now, you before the mirror in your own room, brushing your hair. You had your own room to give him space and time with his concubines. A handmaid was by your side, helping you put on jewels and get ready for the day when Riki walked in
"Leave" he commanded the handmaid, the handmaid bowed and left the room, he sighed and wrapped his arms around your waist from behind, looking at you from the mirror "..im sorry i havent been here a lot my queen.. ive been busy" he whispered, his hands now gently massaging your shoulders "you look gorgeous my dear.." he whispered, picking up a ring and placing it on your finger
