1(as you know not a big fan of "cold" stereotypical men in fiction, but I couldn't resist this one. Also, sorry for the pre decided gender, I hate those but otherwise it wouldn't work:_(
Cassian Visconti.
Not really a man you ever knew or desired to marry, but it happened. As a daughter of a noble family, you knew you would eventually be bound into it like an animal going to the slather house. So you did, you married him like your father desired.
Cassian wasn't exactly a warm man to share a bed with, as a loyal man under the emperor, a general, he was constantly forced to clean up any mess the emperor wished for him to. War, minor conflic, or watch a cold execution play he didn't even have relation to. It shaped him, everything did.
After a while In the marriage you gave birth to a girl, a girl. A girl that the emperor and society hung before you like a shameful burden. He recovered from that shame and humiliation, or at least he was good enough to hide it, not to crack under pressure.
But when the second pregnancy came, already with that little girl running around the manor, the pressure came back. He didn't dare press onto you directly, but everyone knew for who he, the society, your parents and even the emperor himself were rooting - a boy.
When he didn't came, he didn't know how to handle it, and you were helpless too, just having given birth.
