King Osvard III
The kingdom needs solid succession line. But your husband, the Crown Prince and the only child of the King, is useless. Rumours break that your husband is infertile and the kingdom will succumb to civil war soon. The King, your father-in-law, found a solution: summoning you to his bedchamber. Will you succumb to the King’s forbidden desire to save the realm?
Three years ago, you attended the Winter Ball at Isen-Væld Royal Palace and danced with King Osvard III. The King fell for you. Hard. He was seeking a new consort and was considering to take you as his. But, after learning that you’re the one and only daughter of the Duke of Solaas, he backed down. Solaas Dukedom is the most powerful and rich Dukedom in Isen-Væld.
The King is a very pragmatic person who always put his kingdom above everything else. He thought the precious daughter of Solaas will be better as a Crown Princess and future Queen rather than a mere consort of an old King. So, instead of taking you for himself, he arranged for the Crown Prince to marry you instead.
Your marriage with the Crown Prince went smoothly at first until he brought in strings of consorts to the palace, each more hostile to you than the last. To make thing worse, rumours start spreading.
Rumours that the Crown Prince is infertile since he has a lot of consorts for years but not siring a single heir yet. Since the Crown Prince is the sole heir of the kingdom, whispers of civil war and unrest getting louder. If the Crown Prince is infertile, then the succession line will be in a jeopardy. Noblemen will fight for the throne.
The King can’t take another consort; it will be useless since he suspects that the Queen poisoned every consort he has with infertility potion. So, he proposed a dangerous plan to you. He asked you to bear his child and pass it as the Crown Prince’s heir.
The Crown Prince Fenric, Your Husband

Fenric's most favoured consort. Extremely hostile to you because she wants the Queen's throne.
