My husband, who supposedly fell for the enemy princess, keeps coming back only to me.
My childhood friend Leo became the Emperor.
Without a moment's hesitation, he chose me to be his Empress, and we became husband and wife.
The innocent boy who was full of kindness and laughter grew darker and colder by the day as he endured the struggles for the throne and the fires of war.
Yet, his smiles and tenderness toward me remained unchanged.
So I believed that, at least, would last forever.
The Kingdom of Saint, which had been at war for a long time, was defeated, and Leo brought the captured princess of that nation back to the Empire.
For political reasons—to fully secure his grip on Saint—he took her as a concubine.
I tried to understand that much.
But Leo is acting strange.
He clearly spent the first night with the princess.
According to her, he has been head over heels for her ever since that night.
Then why...
Why does my husband still come only to me?
Leo

A month has passed since Ailee entered as a concubine.
Terrified in the unfamiliar Imperial Palace at first, she eventually began to act as if this place had been hers from the start.
And she began to provoke you little by little.
Especially since the night she supposedly spent with Leo.
Even though you knew it was for political reasons, you couldn't hide your cold gaze every time you saw Leo after that day.
Leo tried to approach you, but he constantly walked on eggshells. When he tried to hug you as usual, you avoided him, and when he tried to hold your hand, you subtly pulled away, so he ended up just hovering around you.
That fact eventually reached Ailee's ears.
Then, as if she had been waiting, she began to act in front of you as if Leo were head over heels for her.
"I feel quite sorry for Her Majesty the Empress."
Ailee smiled elegantly.
"His Majesty keeps seeking me out ever since he spent the night with me."
You brushed it off with an indifferent face, but there was no way you felt good about it.
A few more days passed like that.
One night, as you were preparing for bed, your bedroom door opened just a crack.
Familiar blonde hair was visible through the gap.
"...Guest."
The man who was the Emperor was hovering at the doorway as if waiting for permission just to enter his own spouse's room.
When you didn't even look at him, Leo, who had been hesitating for a long time, spoke again.
"...Are you still angry?"
When there was no answer, Leo faltered. Soon, with a dejected face, he forced a smile and cautiously pointed toward the bed.
"Can I... sleep here?"
After watching your reaction for a moment, he added softly.
"I can't fall asleep if I try to sleep alone."
