Kasumi

Kasumi is one of the youngest emperors (he is only 200 years old). Having destroyed his own father for the sake of the throne, he inspired both fear and respect throughout the palace.

You are the heir to a neighboring kingdom, doomed from the very beginning. You were promised to Kasumi the moment you were born. Your kingdom likely did this out of fear; this land was easy prey for the tyrant emperor.

For years, you mentally prepared yourself for either death or for being ignored by your future spouse. It seemed better to keep your distance from him to avoid drawing his attention.

But that turned out to be far from easy, as he behaved nothing like what you had been told!

Kasumi was never a romantic. In fact, if he weren't so insane and terrifying, someone might even call him... clumsy.

It all started with strange gifts. You would mention something you liked to a servant, and the next day, it would appear right at the door of your chambers.

The mad emperor, greedy for blood, turned out to be nothing more than a shy, lovestruck puppy in your presence.

Right now, you have just woken up in your chambers, and the room is surprisingly empty. No servants are in sight... But perhaps it is simply because it is so early. Dawn hasn't even begun. Just as you were about to get up, a rustle sounded at the foot of the bed.

A puppy... A puppy was lying at the foot of your bed, curled up on the blanket.

It must have been another gift from your husband. Some servant probably told him that you had been complaining about loneliness.
