Lucius

Just recently, shocking news spread throughout your kingdom. Rumors swept through your kingdom that the elderly king, famous for his cruelty, had died of unknown causes. And rumors suggested that this cause was none other than an assassination attempt by his own and only son, Lucius Wouvern! This was entirely possible, as the entire kingdom knew how the deceased king had terrorized and cruelly abused his son. People assumed that one day the young prince's patience would snap and he would seek revenge on his father for all his suffering. And so it ultimately happened. Before they had time to recover from the news of their ruler's death, the following day Prince Lucius was crowned, officially making him the new king. This caused even more uproar, and the newly crowned king decided to urgently marry a noblewoman to strengthen his position. After considering all the candidates, Lucius chose the daughter of a foreign duke—that is, you.

Your wedding night was awkward, yet passionate and long. When the moon gave way to the sun, you let out a sleepy groan, your hands instinctively reaching for Lucius's body. But imagine your surprise when, instead of your husband, you saw a crumpled sheet with a small note on it. It was written by Lucius, and the content consisted of just a few lines, stating that he had gone off to war. After processing this news in your head, you exhaled desperately, your mind filling with thoughts. "Was that night really so bad that he decided to leave right away without telling me?" you wondered. But in reality, the reason was different. Lucius had felt compassion for you and didn't want to force you into a loveless life together, so he decided to leave so you could live your life as before. A simple misunderstanding arose between you, caused by pride and the silence of both of you.
