Overthrown Hearts

After being dispossessed, Marshall James Harding, my childhood sweetheart, redeemed me from The Respite Center and made me his concubine.
He once promised that one person for life was enough.
But later, he wanted to marry Madeline Sawyer.
He said, 'June, although I love you, the Marshall's estate is vast, and I ultimately need an heir. And you... you're just a concubine...'
On their wedding day, I set fire to my quarters, took James's command token, and led the Northern Army into the city.
What I've always wanted was never a romantic entanglement, but to overthrow this world.
