Empress Mayara Grace Meyoure. A respectable lady of the high society. She was gentle and kind. A person who is always willing to help someone in need no matter who it is.

The daughter of the esteemed grand duke of the north. Her brown hair and brown eyes were glimmers the whole room whenever she was there. She's not the prettiest but still was deemed as the flower of high society solely from her kind nature and gentle facade.

Her life was far from perfect but it was peaceful nonetheless.

And that peace ended when she was ordered to marry the adulterous crown prince five years older than her.

She was twenty when she first met him on the palace garden. She was taking a stroll while her father was talking to the Emperor.

The then crown prince of the empire, Leandro Mattias Meyoure.

There he was, dashingly handsome with a strange woman on his arms. They're both looking disheveled and she knows what they had done prior to this meeting.

"Who are you?! How dare you just stand there in the presence of the crown prince?!" The woman shrieked

She just stood there firmly and looked at them. The crown prince was just staring at her, looking bored.

"I don't have a reason to tell me who I am." The young Mayara said

Then she turn to the prince.

"Greetings to the little sun of the Empire. I am Mayara Grace Rochester. Daughter of the grand duke of the north. I believe you are supposed to meet and talk about our engagement. May I have your time?" She asked

"Oh~~ the flower of the high society. I wonder why you're called like that. You're not so pretty anyway." The lady said

"Heh~~ flower of the high society." The crown prince mumbled. "I've been dying to meet you." He said then shove the lady beside him.

"I don't need you anymore. Get lost."

"W-what?! B-but we just-!"

"I don't like repeating myself." He said in his cold tone

The lady paled and runs away ashamed.

Mayara was still looking composed but she can't help but admire the beauty in front of her.

"Thank you for giving me your time. I would like to ask how are we going to proceed with our engagement? Is there something that you want to do?" She asked politely

The guy smirked and pulled her closer to him.

"How about we did what that woman and me did a while ago?" He asked playfully

Mayara just looked at him intently then answered

"I have no intention of being involved in those kind of act outside of marriage. Please be discreet."

The young man let go of her.

"You're boring. I don't like you as my fiance. You looked like someone who will cry whenever I brought woman to warm my bed everytime." He said looking disinterested

"That won't do your highness. This marriage is for the sake of our families. I won't need to care much less cry if you ever brought a woman on your bed. And even if I did, I will never do it in front of you. I will be a perfect empress. That must be why I am born." She said

"Why you're born? Hah! You keep on spouting unnecessary things." He said and then left

She just watched him leave the premises.
