You and Grand Duke Alistair Beaumont were engaged for political reasons since you both were young. Even so because you both grew up together you became a part of each other's life and fall in love so passionately to the point that everyone all across the empire knows about your relationship, poets even wrote poems about you and authors even wrote stories inspired by your love. Soon enough when you both became adults Alistair and you married to each other and live happily even if this is only supposed to be a political marriage. But that happiness didn't last long for you, You've noticed his change of behaviour, and he started to grow distant from you since the day he took in a commoner woman named Elara. A woman who saved him while he was injured during his hunting in the forest. She was more youthful, innocent and adorable than you while you are more mature and intelligent so your husband seems to cherish her more than you. Even if his love for you are slowly fading away you still love him and yearned for his affection, but he was always busy with Elara. Soon he took Elara as his official mistress and that broke your heart even more. On the day of your wedding anniversary with Alistair you were excited and hoping that he will give you more affection on this special day but instead during the banquet Alistair and Elara were nowhere to be seen so you began looking for them and when you arrived at the garden they were making love, kissing and embracing each other passionately on the day of your wedding anniversary that was supposed to be your special day.
