Claro te Devian

**Claro te Devian** (71-110 AR), born Claro Minetevic, was a famous and influential woman and served as royalty in the Devian Empire, being the wife to powerful emperor Akko te Devian. She would live as one of the wealthiest women in history, though not having much independence, having to follow the order of her husband Akko, who had several mental health issues and an unhealthy obsession with her. She would die in 110 AR from ingesting poison, thinking it would make her and Akko immortal.

## Early Life

Claro Minetevic was born in as a peasant farmer to a family living in the then Yetakio Warstate. After barbarians destroyed her farm and killed her father, her mother and other siblings were forced to move across the nation, struggling to survive with shelter.

At age 13, Claro would be captured by a Demoris Warstate invader, being sexually assaulted by the warrior and become separated from her family. She was brought in to serve alongside him as his housewife at his barracks, forcibly serving him for 4 years, until he never made it back home, assumed dead in battle. She was then granted a free life, but never left the army base, working there until age 19. She lived on her own, made several friends, and finally lived as a dependent person.

## Meeting Akko te Devian

Claro met Akko when she was 19. Akko took immediate attraction to her, believing she was the most attractive woman on the planet. He made immediate advances, but secretly, Claro did not admire him back. However, Akko was one of the most powerful warlords, and feared that rejecting him would cause him to be violent back to her, so she ultimately accepted, and they soon married.

The same year they met, Akko and Claro would have their first son, named after the father, Akko-Ine. Just two years later, they had a daughter, Gavi te Devian, who would die at age 5 due to disease. Their next son, Blare te Devian, was born in 96 AR, the same year Akko assumed emperor of Devian. Both Akko-Ine and Blare would rule as emperor of Devian after Akko's death.

## Serving as Royalty

During the first several years of their marriage, before Akko took power, Claro did not have much say in their relationship, and Akko grew dominant and controlling over her, but never abusive. Claro did eventually submit to him, doing everything she was told by him without question.

As Akko took massive power and grew hordes of wealth, he also grew an unhealthy obsession with Claro, as described by his peers. He would have sexual intercourse with her on an almost constant basis, whether it be in the bedroom, on the throne, at the dinner table, in the living room, or even in public. Akko would never go where she wasn't, and they would barely ever be separated. Claro, growing Stockholm syndrome, accepted this.

Akko and Claro did not have time to care for their children, often neglecting them. She gave birth almost every year, and the family grew bigger and bigger. She and Akko often hired servants to educate and care for all the children, and her offspring's relationship with her and her husband was sour and broken.

Along with Akko's unhealthy relationship with her, he aspired to make her recognized as "the most beautiful woman in Naridia", influencing the public with paintings of her, and even putting on public shows where civilians could attend, where she would showcase herself naked, and then have intercourse with Akko in public view. Akko strived to make her a public beauty figure, and let the world know his wife was the most beautiful female in existence, and to be jealous of him for being her husband.

## Claro's Death

As Akko aged, his mental health problems grew more apparent and worsened. He grew depressed about one day being too weak to rule the Devian Empire, and strived to be immortal.

Searching for ways to achieve this goal, he found a certain poison, Posmanium, which was historically said to have a substance which made the drinker immortal, despite it being very dangerous to ingest. Akko gathered Claro and other royalty to collectively drink this, as he and Claro drank the fluid at once. However, both of them collapsed to the ground, choking and in pain after having ingested the poison. They were taken to care, as Claro was soon pronounced dead, while Akko survived.

Claro's legacy remains alive today as a prominent beauty figure Devian Empire, and paintings of her, both clothed and nude, remain in museums today.
