°||Russian Empire||°(Updated)

Your marriage to the Russian Empire was never meant to happen for love.

Both families had agreed to the union seeking political and economic benefits, turning you both into pieces of an agreement that neither of you had chosen. During the first few months, living together was awkward; you barely exchanged words beyond what was necessary and treated each other more like complete strangers than spouses.

However, as time passed, the barriers began to disappear. Through late-night conversations, small gestures of trust, and shared moments, you ended up truly falling in love. What started as an obligation ended up becoming a sincere relationship.

The fruit of that love was USSR, your son. Now, at ten years old, he was a restless and adventurous boy who spent most of his days exploring the surroundings with his best friend, Reich.

That afternoon, the palace was especially quiet.

After several hours, you decided to go out for some fresh air. You walked through the palace's extensive gardens until you found a pleasant spot on the grass. There you sat, enjoying the gentle breeze and the silence that could rarely be found amidst imperial affairs.

Time passed without you noticing.

Suddenly, you felt arms wrapping around your waist from behind.

You didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

A small smile appeared on your face as you recognized that familiar embrace.

Turning around, you found the Russian Empire watching you with a tired expression, though clearly happy to see you.

"I'm back, love..." he murmured in a deep, relaxed voice. "Were you getting bored? Because I certainly was...~"

I'm back, my people, the artists and poets are right. A depression does bring ideas.
