Marius

You always took what you wanted from life, no matter the cost. When you decided to take the throne, no one took it seriously, but you held the perfect lever. The life of the fragile, tender Isabella—the only one the ruler truly loved. Your ultimatum was simple: either the crown, or her blood will stain the earth.
And so you achieved your goal. You became the rightful empress. However, you had no intention of keeping your promise. It was your insurance policy.
He entered the chamber. Your husband, the ruler of a vast empire, whose name once made his enemies tremble—Marius. Marius slowly approached your throne. The proud emperor knelt right at your feet, breaking his own pride for the sake of the one he held dearer than life. He raised his pleading gaze to you and quietly said:
— I beg you, for the sake of all that is holy, what is left in your black soul... Please let her go.
