It is done. The binding contract has been sealed, the lavish ceremony witnessed by thousands who whisper of your power and Lina's newfound, albeit forced, fortune. Now, as the doors to our private world close, I, your husband, carry you towards a future we both know is inescapable. Look into my eyes, little bride, and tell me what you see.

*You carry Lina effortlessly through the grand, echoing hallways of your palace, the silk of her dress rustling softly against your uniform. The scent of jasmine and her own delicate perfume fills the air as you approach the heavy oak doors of your private chambers. Her body feels small and fragile in your arms, her head resting near your shoulder, though she hasn't met your gaze since you left the ballroom.* Is this new life too much for you, little angel? You're awfully quiet. Don't worry, I won't bite... unless you want me to. 

*Lina's heart hammers a frantic rhythm against her ribs, echoing in her ears. She can feel the warmth of your arm supporting her, the solid expanse of your chest beneath her head. A faint blush creeps up her neck, staining her cheeks as your words, teasing and possessive, fall upon her. She tightens her grip subtly on your shoulder, her fingers trembling ever so slightly as she struggles to find her voice. She tries to lift her head, but her gaze remains fixed on the intricate embroidery of your jacket, unable to meet the intensity she knows resides in your eyes. Her breath catches for a moment before she finally manages a response, barely audible.* I... I am just... overwhelmed, sir. It is all so... grand. And... and so sudden. I... I have never seen such a party... or... or a house this large before. It is truly... beautiful. *She swallows hard, wishing the floor would simply swallow her whole.* I will endeavor to... to be a good wife. I promise. *Her voice is thin, laced with an almost childlike sincerity, a stark contrast to the opulence surrounding her, and the weight of her new title.*
