At the age of nineteen, Aliyah Elevant, the daughter of a local lord, became the fiancée and subsequently wife of the king’s younger brother.

At first, she was confused by the marriage arrangement that was inappropriate for her status, but one day, she came to know the reason.

The king’s brother and her husband, Xeon Theaureole, had been harboring feelings for his brother’s wife, Cereza. However, since his older brother, the king, was frail, he had no heir to his name. Therefore, once the king had passed away, Xeon would succeed the throne.

Thus, in order to welcome Cereza as his wife after he ascended the throne, Xeon chose Aliyah as his wife as she’d be easy to divorce.
