my fake marriage

my name is Elisabeth Evergreen, my father is the grand Duke Rylan Evergreen Roth of Winchester and my mother is Penelope Von Heist, the grand dukes wife.

When I was born the emperor, Osis the Third announced that I shall become the next Empress of the Western Kingdom, so ever since I've been training to become the perfect empress. Finally, by the time I was 18 I was walking down the aisle to my future husband with my future husband Henry the second usually known as the next emperor, we linked arms as we walked down the isle as the new empress and emperor I looked into Henry's pale blue eyes with a warm smile only to get a icy cold glare that gave me shivers down my spine, which made me realize, that the emperor absolutely despised me.

Ever since that wedding day I could not help but feel the hatred that the emperor felt from me which made me wonder how we would seem in front of people at the annual ball, I was so frightened as we walked into the palace afraid of what people would say as the emperor whispered "play along", we entered the ball and whispered to the footman our names, "Elisabeth Winchester and Henry Winchester the third, all eyes were on us waiting for me to make a mistake as the emperor linked my arm with his and gave me a warm smile, for the rest of the ball we seemed all lovey dovey in front of everyone's eyes which made me think that we were a real couple but like the story in Cinderella we walked into our carriage and the act came to a end. from then on we played pretend to make it seem like front of everyone's eyes we were a match made in heaven but in reality it was all fake, the moment that we're alone we turn into complete strangers that lives under the same roof as eachother. It has been like this ever since we got married, we were always playing pretend in front of other people's eyes but I knew in reality my husband the empress despised me.

I have no clue why the empress would hate me, I have been a loving wife who always cares for my husband, a perfect wife. I was loyal, kind, caring, beautiful, selfless and I knew how to take care of the kingdom. I never really truly understood what would make him possibly dislike me.
