Elderbar was an empire that ruled the continent. The seven-year war between the regions featured Elderbar as the winner. He's ruler.
The crown prince of Elderbar who brought great victory in the seven-year war. During the blazing war, the crown prince plunged head-on and blindly stormed the enemy's defenses.
After the war he was crowned Emperor Elderbar, replacing the late emperor who had been quiet in peace.
The Alexdemian Lux de Elderbar.
The excess in the elu-elukan people. His figure is described as a hero who brought glory to Elderbar. He was a wise king in addition to his charming appearance.
Alex de Elderbar became the idol of every woman in the empire. The ideal man of every woman.
Only one drawback, besides the emperor seat was still empty. This is his third year as emperor. Until then the Elderbar Empire had no capital, the empress.
Rumors bubbling. The emperor did not lift the empress because there was a woman he loved but from commoners. The rule in Elderbar was that imperial families and nobles were forbidden to marry commoners in order to purify their descendants.
There can be no smoke without fire. The rumor itself is true with the appearance of the lover of the common people of the emperor in social circles. The woman was accepted because there was the emperor's support, but her origin could not be shredded at all.
No family would sacrifice their daughter to become a puppet of the emperor. It was obvious that when the proposal came from the palace, they would reject it. The nobles know what this marriage means.
The emperor would marry a noble descendant to become his first wife, then he would marry the lover of his people to become a concubine. Everything would be possible in the palace. That is, despite being the first wife will not guarantee her to be empress. He would only be used as a stepping stone to occupy a seat beside the emperor, wearing the empress' crown that was no less resplendent than the emperor's, by the emperor's lover for his support.
Only one small noble family on the outskirts of the city accepted the proposal, regardless of the rumors. Their families were isolated from social interaction due to internal problems of the region. Despite being nobles, the Baron Barell family was too poor to hold or attend parties.
They had two sons and one daughter, it was clear who would be sent to the palace, she was Sofia Barell. Baron Henry Barell's.
The date of the wedding has been set, a certain amount of dowry has been paid. The palace carriage to pick up the bride had arrived at the Baron Barell land. As soon as the preparations were finished, the carriage returned to the palace with the bride-to-be brought for the emperor.
Although this was the emperor's wedding, the celebration was not as lavish as expected. Just a regular wedding ceremony attended by the palace officials. There is no party for the people or festival.
It is as if this marriage is just a formality.
Sofia was transferred to another place after the ceremony. Two people serve him. He took a shower and changed into a nightclothes. Sitting at the bedside, her back was waiting for her husband, the emperor Elderbar, Alex.
The night was getting late and no matter how long she waited, her husband did not come.
Sofia bit her lower lip. He stared blankly at the dark and silent room. The moonlight broke through from the glass window behind him. The slender and white figure stood out bathed in light. The golden hair of the Barell family shines in the moonlight.
Sofia's eyes blinked a few times. Drowsiness quickly crept in his body. He pulled the blanket and buried his body there. Arrival crawled his body. Her white cheeks were as red as tomatoes due to the warmth. His flat face was asleep in his sleep.
Sofia dreaming. A very long dream.
In the dream sofia returned to the age of ten years. For the first time he came to the mansion and met his father. His mother died a while ago, so inevitably he had to stay at his father's house. Unfortunately, his presence was not accepted in the mansion.
His mother was the mistress of Baron Barell, automatically hated by his legal wife and other Baron Barell children.
Dream continued. Nine years of living in a house that is not much different from hell, finally he can be free. The train that took her out of the house was like a savior. She was getting married, her future husband was the emperor. Sofia did not care about the rumors that were said by the people nearby.
Finally, for the first time, she fell in love. Her husband was her first love.
Good luck doesn't seem to fit in with his life. Sofia is a doll. He was slaughtered completely. She did not live in the empress' palace, and was not allowed to meet many people.
The emperor only visited him a few times in an attempt to have a successor. The crown prince must be born of the first wife. Sofia fell in love at first sight.
His presence is not cared for. Even when she gave birth to a prince, her circumstances did not change. His life is getting worse.
Sofia is kept away from her child and she goes crazy.
Sofia demands her rights. Doing all sorts of ways to meet her son. Again, darling, the effort was in vain. He has no support from anyone. The emperor's concubine also gave birth to the prince shortly after.
His position is getting desperate. Sofia lost and she was exiled. He was expelled without being able to see his son.
Tears did not stop flowing from his closed eyes.
The end of the dream was shocking. Finally Sofia could see her child, her body was no longer alive. The child was put to death by the emperor himself for being accused of trying to poison the second prince, the son of a concubine.
Sofia lives in regret. He spent his life weeping over the death of his son. His hatred was unimaginable. Sofia died with a mountain of hatred for the emperor.
He prayed before his death.
'If one day I live again, may I be a lucky woman. Loved by many.'
***
Sunlight infiltrates through the window. Bouncing and shining on Sofia's face. Slowly his eyes opened. He looked at the high ceiling above him, white in color. He's risen.
His hand touched his wet cheek. Sofia looked at her empty surroundings. He got out of bed and approached the window.
Green grass is visible. The tops of the buildings look far away. There was a clattering of water heard. Sofia's memory is spinning.
This place was just like what he had seen in his dreams. His residence is in the palace of Elderbar. A place very far from the main palace, it took thirty minutes on foot to reach the emperor's residence.
The building where Sofia lived was the resting palace of emperors and knights when they were doing war practice or hunting. The place was close to the back door of the palace connected with the river and the forest. There are many tall trees around.
Sofia is still looking far away. Body gasps. Dreams are real. He saw his own future through that dream.
Sofia was standing stiffly by the window. Remembering his dream last night.
