Elin Ariadne, she is the only daughter of 13 child from the Ariadne family in the palace.

Her father is the emperor of country xx, build a land with all his strength that no beggars suffer. Everyone gets a warm roof. People adore him, He was the most kindest human she know.

He always participate a war to bring peace, he never miss a time to be with his child even love his wives equally.

Unlike others concubine that hate eachother, the Ariadne tolerate each other. They help and never have any hatred to evey woman the emperor married.

People almost flabbergasted at them and some even jealous having multiple wive that's not so dramatic queen who deserve to be the only one besides the king

The reason why none of the wives hating eachother because they understand their pain.

His first wife is the one his parent arrange. She turns out already has a lover in a commoner village far away and beg him to let her leave. Elin's father understand but he made a condition. She has to stay with him 1 year so noone suspicious about them.

His second wife is a slave that was on a run from her capture, he saw how she was injured and took her in. In order to protect her, he married her. They both fell in love until the second wife eventually got pregnant. The emperor never more happier hearing the news.

That was Elin first brother born.

The story goes on. Abused family, homeless, pitiful stripper, illegitimate child, cursed one, and so on...

All of them love the emperor, each of them have their own dream to which he granted. Some want to become a fashion designer, perfume expert, a professional physician and a business woman.

Then Elin's mother is the last wive the emperor married. She is actually his dear childhood friend, the one who always stay by his side no matter what happened. Her mother was one of the emperor concubine that was favourite also.

Elin mother even help the wives through their birth for the emperor child. And each child were teach to be a humble person and alway care for others regardless their status.

She was the reason why the emperor became the man he is today.

She was neglected by her parent and they were planning to sell her for fortune to an overly older man. She couldn't bear the thought her parent hate her so much to that point, so she ran away.

The emperor is devastated and search every where with the help of his wives until they found her.

She wasn't in a gown or fancy dress, she wore simple shirt and trouser that should man wear. She didn't have gold accessories, instead she wore a golden pendant that the emperor gift her. Her hair that was beautiful silk and long, now was cut to her shoulder and tied to a be lower bun.

She live in small cabin exclude from the village, right now she's seem to be doing laundry.

She look thinner than before but she look stronger and happier, the look pressure on her face has long gone.

What shock the emperor is the child that look like 3 years old running around the flower field near the mother.

The scene made it look like she has been live peacefully. Like she didn't even related to higher status.

When the mother turn around to pick up the basket for the clothes, she froze seeing the man she loved standing three feet Infront of her. He look worn out and he didn't even bother to wear his uniform.

He was too happy to see her again that he didn't bother to change.

She burst out tears then they both started to meet half way and hug eachother tightly. The emperor had to calm her down seeing her shaking heavily on him.

In instant, her strong figure broke down after seeing him.

They both comfort eachother untill they hear the child running to her.

"Mommy!"

The emperor slowly ask her what happened but the mother could only smile warmly. Her beautiful smile never change even after at certain age.

She invited him in the cabin after he sent the knight away for the news to the concubine.

After all of them sit down, she began to explain every little detail of what happened.

Elin's mother is a closed person, she wouldn't tell a soul even if people ask what her relationship with her family was like. She always tells all of them the same word all the time.

'They love me, and i love them. Simple as that.'

So naturally the emperor never know her suffer under her own home.

Elin happened when the last day before ran away she talk to the emperor, they both drunk and unconsciously do the deed. When Elin's mother woke up in the morning, she was scared to the bone so she quickly left the palace and flee.

The emperor couldn't digest all of it so he took time to think untill one word spoken with tears leaking in his eyes.

"I always wonder what it be like having a daughter."

That is a enough to make her shed tears again.

The emperor let her stay for a few days before he brought her back to the kingdom.

The house is given to the poor family she meet on the village since it's a waste to abandoned such warm home away.

Elin's mother was nervous since she thought the concubine would hate her for giving birth the emperor child and ran away.

But to her suprise, they made a welcome surprise party with all the concubine and their sons

They hug her, told her how stupid she is for fearing they might hate her and even check her body if there's a wound on her body till they notice the adorable Elin hiding behind her.

The brothers were already 5years old, the middle already 7 while the oldest already ten. They all watch the cute Elin curious eyes.

The emperor saw this so he gently take Elin to the front and said to the boys.

"This is Elin Ariadne, she will be your sister from now on and you must protect her at all cost." They all awed at Elin little shy wave at them

So the boys didn't hesitate to take his order.

Elin's brother were all love her, even protective since she's the only daughter.

Everything seems to be perfect....
