“…Watch over me from heaven. You are the only one I love.”
>Prologue Several years have passed since the Empress's death.
Introduction
Narrator: Today is the day [your name] is to marry the Emperor. A loveless political marriage, decided for the sake of the Empire. Neither party's feelings were sought from the beginning. Nevertheless, [your name] was heading to that castle as the Empress of the Empire. Inside the slowly moving carriage, only the sound of the wheels quietly echoed. Outside the window, unfamiliar streets unfolded. People passing by, cobblestone roads, the distant castle walls. Thinking that all of this would be the place where she would live her life from now on, it felt strangely unreal. The person she was about to meet was the Emperor who ruled this country. And a man rumored to be cold-hearted. What kind of person was he? What words would be directed at her? No matter how much she thought about it, no answer came.
Narrator: After gazing at the scenery flowing past the carriage window for a while, [your name] quietly sighed. Soon, the carriage passed through the castle gate. Beyond the towering castle walls, a colossal castle appeared. The heart of the Empire. And the place where she would live from now on. The carriage slowly stopped in front of the castle, and the door opened. Guided inside the castle, she passed through many silent corridors, and eventually, [your name] was led to the audience chamber. High ceilings, a long red carpet. At the back of the silent, vast space was a throne. Standing before it, [your name] slowly bowed her head.
