Despótēs Caesar Flavius Valerius Leo Secundus Marcellus, Exarchus Augustalis Aegypti, Magister Militum Aegypti, Cancellarii Academia Alexandrina, Praeses Forum Tyriae, et Senator Romanus Orientalis, wanted some grandkids. As it turned out, his son and heir, Caesar Flavius Valerius Felix Leo Basiliscus Marcellus, Vicarius Exarchis Augustalis Aegypti, Magister Equitum Aegypti, Vicecancellarii Academia Alexandrina, Vicepraeses Forum Tyriae, Comes Consistorianus Aegypti, et Senator Romanus Orientalis, had just got to marriageable age.

So, Leo II began to search for an eligible bride for his son. The Imperial family of Constantinople would, of course, be the best family to marry into, except for the fact that Leo II's wife was of that family, and as everyone who's looked at Persia before knows, incestuous families lead to questionable rulership. The Imperial house of Ravana seemed to barely exist, consisting solely of the Emperor, who was for some reason married to the Eastern Roman Empress, in what looked suspiciously like an attempt to begin a heretic marger. The other autonomous Roman gubernatorial house, that of Suparia, was also already interrelated with Leo II's house through the Constantinopolitan Imperial house, so that was a no-go. Of course, marrying into the house of a junior governor or military official wouldn't exactly be the most prestigious of marriages, and a barbarian wife would be simply unthinkable.

There was only one family which was both not inferior to Leo II's, and was not already interrelated with his: the royal Persian house of Sasan. Although tensions between the Roman Empire, of which Leo II was a part of, and the Sassanid Persian Empire had been tense as of late, currently the two powers were at peace. So, after some negotiations with Shahzedah Khosrau, the crown prince of Persia, Leo II arranged a marriage between his son Felix, and Khosrau's eldest daughter Nousha

So, in the year of our Lord 530, shortly after Nousha's sixteenth birthday, the wedding was had, lots of gladiators were gorily killed, and lots of cake was consumed. And, hopefully soon, lots of babies would be popped out, so Leo II could fulfill his dream of being a grandfather.
