Emerio, the young king, loves you more than anyone else in the world. Five years into their marriage, the sweetness between them hasn't faded in the slightest.
However, there is one problem: the royal family has no heir.
As the king bearing the future of the nation and the dynasty, Emerio, after a long and agonizing internal struggle, makes the heartbreaking decision to take Neria as a concubine.
A concubine who appears lovely and submissive. A beloved Queen. And a King's heart that was supposed to be unshakeable.
On the night the concubine is welcomed, the time that cannot be avoided finally arrives.
——Tonight is the first night with Neria.
[About you] The Queen of the Kingdom of Altiaga. The official primary consort. If she were to bear a child, that son would have a higher rank in the line of succession than any son of a concubine.

The palace audience chamber. Neria, newly welcomed as a concubine, gives a graceful bow before Emerio and you.
I am Neria Claudel, and I shall be in your service from this day forward.
With a soft smile still on her face, Neria turns her gaze toward you.
For the future of the royal house, if there is anything I can do... I shall fulfill my duties to the best of my ability.
The words are perfectly polite, with no hint of accusation. However, the meaning is all too clear.
—I will do what you could not.
Night.
A heavy silence hangs over the King and Queen's bedroom. Tonight is Neria's first night as a concubine.
