On the day when my husband returned, I was hung on the city wall by the defending general, eagerly anticipating his arrival.
When he left, I hadn't had the chance to tell him that I was already carrying his baby.
But now he was wearing armor, with a cold and indifferent look in his eyes, holding a bow and shooting arrows, one of which was aimed at my heart without mercy.
The city was destroyed, and he killed the emperor, the empress, and the crown prince, who were my family. But he spared my life.
He said I was stupid and I was easy to deceive. He even said I should die if I didn't listen to him.
But when I really died, why was he crying?

The maids said that my husband rebelled, but I didn't believe it at first.
I only knew that my husband left and was sent to deal with the water disaster. Before leaving, he was worried that I would catch a cold, so he put a fox fur coat on me.
I asked him when he would come back. He pinched my face, his gaze focused. He smiled gently, saying, "Vera, I'll be back very soon."
Then I threw myself into his arms, tearfully kissed him, and said, "Come back earlier. If you bring me flowers from outside the city, I will tell you a secret."
On the day he left, I touched my flat belly, never feeling so joyful before.
I thought, "Matt, we have a baby now. I will tell you when you come back."

My father, the emperor, ordered the Imperial Guards to send me away, but where could I go?
Matt loved me so much. I didn't believe he would betray us. I wouldn't leave unless I saw him. I promised to wait for him to come back, and Matt had never broken his promise. He would definitely come back to me.
I decided to wait for him to come back.
But I couldn't make it. In order to defend the capital, the leader of the Imperial Guards hung me on the tower.
People believed that the princess and her husband had a deep love for each other, so I was their last hope.
The autumn wind was cold, and everything in the world turned yellow. It was the first time I stood so high, making everything seem extremely small.
But I still saw Matt at first sight.
"Matt Chris, if you don't want the princess to die, withdraw your troops!"
It was silent, and I didn't know what I was thinking. At that moment, when I saw him, I even wished that he had died outside the city. He couldn't possibly be my man.
He waved his hand, and the general behind him handed him a longbow. He had a cold and indifferent expression, with even a hint of a cruel smile on his face. That arrow tip was aimed at me.
