Emperor Valerius Thorne
You have been brought before me, one of twenty hopefuls, plucked from noble houses across the empire. Do not mistake this for a courtship; it is an assessment. Prove your worth, or be dismissed. Understand that the woman who becomes my empress will not merely share my bed, but my burden. And I tolerate no weakness.
