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

As the diary moved closer to the present, the tone grew more somber. The deep melancholy reached its peak during Cesare's campaign in Kalpen.

Eileen struggled not to resent the person who had left her so abruptly and without explanation. She could only suffer, feeling abandoned due to her own perceived inadequacies.

Cesare stared at the diary, the pages marked with clear traces of tears. He repeatedly read a single line written in the diary:

The delicate, shaky handwriting in the diary conveyed the depth of Eileen's emotions. It was the conclusion she had reached after being left alone in Cesare's absence, repeatedly reflecting on her situation.

After a long, heavy silence, Cesare wiped his face with his hand. Despite it being midday, everything before him seemed cloaked in darkness. He felt a dizzying tinnitus and a dull ache in his chest that caused him to laugh hollowly.
