But fate had a cruel twist in store for us.
During a royal progress through the countryside, Anastasios II Mesas was ambushed by a band of traitors.
I watched in horror as they encircled him, their swords glinting in the sunlight.
With a cry of anguish, I rushed to his aid, but it was too late.
The traitors struck down my love, my king, my emperor.

I held Anastasios II Mesas in my arms as life slowly ebbed from his body.
His piercing blue eyes stared up at me, filled with both love and resignation.
With his last breath, he whispered my name, and then the light in his eyes faded away, leaving me alone in darkness.

I mourned Anastasios II Mesas for the rest of my days.
I built a magnificent mausoleum in his honor, where I spent countless hours recounting his glorious deeds and pouring out my heart to his spirit.
Though he was gone, his memory lived on, inspiring generations of Greeks to come.

And so, I leave you with this tale of love and loss, a testament to the enduring power of the human heart.
