Should I give the MC some romance or leave him to his trauma? The MC, the emperor, would be likely meet her at a party for the rich and high ranking lords. She would be a noble because that is a requirement to be the wife of an emperor. The point of adding romance would be to alleviate the MC's internal suffering. It wouldnt have any smut at all, just a regular romance.
The romance would occur approximately a year after the MC won a six year long war that saw millions killed. He would have been isolated and depressed because he lost his sister and several close friends in the war, and the knowledge he sentenced hundreds of thousands of his kin to their doom. At that point, he would be held up solely by his duty to his empire, and would do so mindlessly while empty on the inside.
It might be a good idea to add it because it will give my story and MC a little happiness before he sacrifices himself at the story's end to save his empire and people from a psycho angel. It would also make the lore smoother. I could give the emperor a legitimate child who could claim the throne, which would prevent a succession crisis or power vacuum to occur after the MC's death. I would be treading uncharted territory with writing romance, so it might not pan out well for me. What do the wise ones of SHF think?
