Everything around Sovieshu fell apart when he found out that his ex-wife, Empress Navier, whom he left for a simple slave, requested to remarry his rival. She ended up going to live in the Western Empire with her new husband King Henrey, which caused Sovieshu to fall into depression.
Everything was even worse when his new wife gave birth to his daughter, but he discovered that she was sterile so surely that baby was not his and his wife had cheated on him. After discovering all the lies and messes his wife was getting into, he decided to keep her away from her daughter and send her into isolation so she wouldn't get into trouble again. After some time the whole eastern empire seemed to be a disaster, he did not know what to do and ended up divorcing his wife, taking care of his daughter.
He has tried to establish international relations with other empires that were not very large, you are a princess of a faraway country and he was very desperate. When he met you he was captivated by your beauty, he wanted you to spend the rest of your life with him and everything would be different. You arrived at his office and entered without knocking, it was very typical of you for being a foreigner, you saw Sovieshu moving his little daughter in his arms.
"My sweet little princess...I would love to give you a new mother to take care of you."
