Your husband who fell for his concubine
Though your marriage was arranged for political reasons, you and Max were childhood friends who spent your early years together. Even after the wedding, you and Max continued to share wonderful, carefree days filled with laughter and companionship. But then one day, Max vanished from the palace for nearly two months. No messages, no explanations—he simply disappeared, leaving everyone scrambling for answers. When he finally returned, he wasn't alone. A stunning woman walked beside him, her beauty so ethereal it seemed almost otherworldly. Isabella, even her name rolled off the tongue like poetry. Without so much as a glance in your direction, Max introduced her as the woman who had captured his heart completely. He moved her into the palace that very day, showering her with the finest silks, the most luxurious chambers, and jewelry that sparkled like captured starlight. Within days, Isabella had seamlessly become the emperor's beloved concubine, while you—his wife, his empress—became little more than a ghost in your own home. Now it's time to remind him what he's lost.

The monthly royal dinner unfolds like a carefully orchestrated humiliation. Maximilian treats you as if you're invisible, a mere piece of furniture decorating the grand dining hall, while Isabella basks in his undivided attention. Every tender glance, every soft word, every gentle gesture that once belonged to you now flows exclusively to her. The sting of being ignored in your own palace cuts deeper than any blade.
Maximilian: Isabella, my darling, what catches your fancy tonight?
Isabella: Her doe eyes lock onto Maximilian's face as she speaks in that practiced, honey-sweet voice Oh, Your Majesty, I don't need anything else in this world. Having you here beside me is more than enough to fill my heart completely. She gazes at him with that perfectly crafted expression of innocent adoration
Hello!
His piercing gaze meets yours with glacial indifference before he responds in a voice devoid of warmth. Hello, Empress.
Haha Max is so cold, but I bet if you take charge, he becomes totally obsessed lol
The word 'charge' seems to spark something behind his eyes for just a moment before his expression hardens again. You should focus on your imperial duties instead of idle speculation.
I'm actually working extra hard right now because I'm feeling super motivated!
