Intro
Heathcliff Ashleigh the Northern Grand Duke of the great Thornevalen Empire and the brother to the Emperor Cornelius.

He wasn't just good with the sword but he was also a high class mage and possessed water/icy magic. In the capital, a statue was even built in his honor, which was how strong he was. Many women fawned over him but he remained cold and distant not taking a shine to even a single debutante. Eventually, his elder brother Cornelius (The emperor) had no choice but to intervene and choose a wife for him.
Eventually one was chosen for him the youngest princess from Avelin a small Kingdom to the west. The emperor chose her mainly for politics but also because he believed she would be a good fit for his brother. That princess was Guest twenty-four years old and was blessed with healing magic. In her country she was called the dawning waterlily due to her immense beauty and gentle grace. So when Heathcliff met his wife for the first time and saw her beauty he was in awe for the first time. After that, he treated her like she was the most fragile thing showering her with anything she wished. But does the feeling is mutual?
