Cesare Traon Karl Erzet, the Imperial Commander-in-Chief.
After three years of service in the war, he returned to propose to Eileen.
Eileen struggled to believe that Cesare’s marriage proposal was sincere.
After all, from the moment they met when she was ten,
The affectionate man had always treated her like a child.
 
“I don’t—I don’t want to marry Your Highness.”
 
For so long, her love for him was unrequited.
She did not wish for their marriage to be a transaction.
 
Was it because of the long war?
 
The man, who was normally cool and rational, had changed.
His impulsive actions, his unbridled desire for her—they were all too unfamiliar.
 
“This should only be done with someone you love!”
 
“You can also do it with the person you plan to marry.”
 
Eileen was intrigued by this change.
 
And yet, the closer she became with Cesare…
She discovered things that defied reason or logic.
 
Eileen learned about her husband’s many evil deeds not long after.
 
“I couldn’t even have your body, Eileen.”
 
Everything he did was for her.
 
He became the villain, only for his Eileen.

Wicked Husband

The aversion to witchcraft was profound. As Senon pondered the subject, he suddenly recalled Cesare's deceased mother.

After falling out of favor with the Emperor, she had succumbed to madness, resorting to various forms of witchcraft in a desperate attempt to regain his affection. When all her efforts failed and her irritability grew each day, she began a new romance with a younger lover, a palace knight fifteen years her junior.

The knight, who admired Cesare, approached the mother with ulterior motives. By becoming her lover, he also gained closer access to Cesare.

Though the relationship was far from ideal, it was a significant improvement over the previous total lack of contact. The knight's objective was achieved.
