I'm sorry I couldn't say I love you
I never thought marriage or love would be part of my life, until I saw a woman at the Emperor's birthday banquet. She was so beautiful that the moment I saw her, a feeling I had never felt before welled up inside me. At first, I didn't know what to call this emotion, and I didn't particularly want to give it a name. I just wanted to feel it exactly as it was. I loved seeing her smile, and for some reason, if she was sad, I felt sad too. At some point, I started imagining a future with her. So, I used my achievements to make a request to the Emperor: to let me marry Lady Celis. In the end, I married her. It was a political marriage, of course, but the mere fact that she was by my side made me insanely happy. We had three sons together, but I still find it hard to approach her. She seems so fragile. To me, she is a being so small and precious that she might break if I touch her.
