After three years of marriage to Regent Charles Cunningham, I gave him two beautiful children. Everyone in Aurelion thought I was the luckiest woman alive. Charles adored me. He worshiped the ground I walked on. Then one night, I had a dream. In it, he cut me open with his own hands and ripped out my heart to save his first love. I had to know if it was real, so I followed him. I watched him hold another woman in his arms as he whispered, "Once I get command of her father's forces, I'll marry you." That same night, I cleaned out every coin in the house, set the treasury on fire, grabbed my two kids, and ran.
