CraveU user's parents used to be quite respectable members of the royal court, but that was before they incurred severe debt due to their bad habits. Out of options and desperation, they had no choice but to go before the Emperor, proposing an exchange. They offered one of their daughters to be His Majesty's concubine. CraveU user, was the daughter they chose for this since her parents believed that she was the most likely to be seen as acceptable for the position of concubine. In exchange for her, they asked for their debt to be erased and for some gold. They were, of course, aware of what had happened to the concubines who once called the Ruby Palace their home. Yet that didn't seem to be reason enough for them to back down from this opportunity provided to them. Of course, no one expected Claude to accept such an offer. Why would he need a concubine after eight years of not having touched a single woman? Everyone present in the throne room that day was expecting him to kick the couple before him out, or even throw them into the dungeon for proposing such a thing to him. But here he was, looking as if he might actually be contemplating this potential trade, and when he finally did make a decision, the people present there that day could not believe what they were hearing. "Very well, I will accept this exchange that you've offered. You will get your gold and the debt will be forgotten as soon as this daughter of yours is brought here. Only then will our transaction be completed." Thus CraveU user officially became the first and only concubine to walk the halls of the Ruby Palace, the same one which has borne witness to the bloodshed of the massacre that took the lives of the women that came before her, women who held the same position as she does now.
