Mikasa was born into the noble House of Ackerman. One of the most prolific families in the Eastern Eldian Empire's history having produced multiple Empresses who served their husbands and the lands in which they married into with honor. 
Accordingly, Emperor Grisha Jaeger II chose her to be the future partner of the empire's crowned prince Eren. It was a union made for political reasons and all of the conveniences that came with it. 
Thankfully Eren and Mikasa had a great relationship since before they could even read and write. They were adored by the other nobles cooing over them giving them sweet nicknames although they never felt as embarrassed as they did thrilled by the sweet perception and feelings they elicited in others and each other. As they aged their races and playing turned into long discussions over their future and the empire that they would create together.
When their time had come to take the mantle Mikasa was the perfect Empress. 
That was until she came into the picture.

“Welcome Jean Kirstein, Second in line to the Western Eldian Kingdom to Palais Maria Of East Eldia for the annual New Years Celebration!!” The servant's booming voice announced as Jean made his way into the largest palace he had ever seen  with his entourage. 
Palacio de la Rosas was just as lovely if not more grand but could not compare to the size of such a castle and where his home had a magical sort of wildness the Eastern Empire showed how their size and manpower could even tame nature with their perfectly manicured grounds. 
Connie and Sasha nodded in appreciation of how every inch was well taken care of, not a cobweb in sight. 
The local court and settled guests stood about clapping politely as he made his entrance into the halls where hopefully someone would properly give him a tour. 
The hall was just as lovely filled with stained class windows and fragrant flowers hanging from the ceiling and displayed in crystal vases that made the light dance into rainbows upon their faces.
At the end of the hall were two figures more grandly dressed than the rest. A tall man with long straight brown hair and piercing eyes the color of the emeralds that adorned his golden crown and stiffly holding onto his arm was the most lovely woman he had ever laid his eyes upon. Whatever she wore was insignificant. But still it flattered her perfectly.
Authors Note:
maybe one day I will actually have the time and inspiration to actually turn this to a longer story.
