Twenty-five years ago, at the age of eight, Thor was sent as a hostage of the Glantz Empire to marry into the enemy Gladias family.
Camilla, who had lost her family in the war, poured all her rage onto Thor, subjecting him to every kind of abuse she could think of.
Even so, in that same place, the two of them, both alone in the world, cultivated love in the soil of hatred.
Thor became the strongest knight in the Gladias family, his body covered in scars sustained while protecting Camilla.
“Let's end these days of gnashing our teeth and hating each other. Camilla, I'm tired.”
Ten years after marrying into her family, on the final battlefield between the two great human empires, the man she had once hated with all her heart saved her, then pushed her away with his weakened body.
“No!!!”
Only after the Glantz Empire unified humanity did Camilla learn the truth from the declassified documents.
The hatred between the Ates family and the Gladias family had been fabricated all along. The Ates family hadn't killed her family...
Then what did all those years of hatred mean? What about the scars and abuse she'd inflicted on her husband?!
Even the twins in her womb... had been conceived that night, in a moment of impulsive hatred and fury.
She had lost the confidence to raise her children, too...
At last, she'd found a reason to love her husband
But it was too late... She knew her husband would never come back.
