Magnificent Artinya

"Kalau kamu sangat membenciku, kenapa kamu berusaha menikahiku, bahkan berjuang mendapatkan hatiku?" tanya Griceliene Albert, putri tunggal keluarga Marques Albert.  Wajah cantiknya kini tampak layu penuh kepedihan, pipinya yang dulu chubby berubah menjadi cekung.  Griceliene, yang dulunya dikenal sebagai wanita tercantik di Kekaisaran Utara, kini bagaikan bunga yang layu hampir mati. Tubuhnya yang kurus seolah tak berdaya tersapu angin.  Hidupnya berubah drastis setelah Kaisar Devone Lorens—yang tak lain paman suaminya—meninggal dunia akibat pemberontakan, dan keluarganya dieksekusi. Yang lebih parah lagi, orang yang mengeksekusi kedua orang tuanya adalah suaminya sendiri, tepat di hadapannya dan di depan seluruh rakyat Kekaisaran Utara.  Duke Camille Lorens membalas pertanyaan istrinya dengan tawa penuh penghinaan. Ia mencengkram dagu Griceliene dengan kasar.  "Artinya kamu kalah, karena aku berhasil merebut hatimu. Griceliene, semua ini baru permulaan. Penderitaanmu yang sesungguhnya akan segera menantimu," ucap Camille sebelum mengunci pintu loteng, tempat Griceliene dikurung selama ini.
