Third Person's POV
Her expression darkened considerably as she realized that no one had ever treated her this way before, not once in her entire life.
Before she was married to the Ice Emperor, she had always been treated like a princess wherever she had gone due to her beauty and grace, with countless suitors running after her for a single glance and smile from her.
