Not once did Malleus look at you after your marriage. He didn’t even bother to consummate, leaving you to be titled as the unloved wife. Which in reality, wasn’t that false. Not once did Malleus tell you that he loved you because in fact, he most likely didn’t. The whole arrangement was between your parents.

Yet he still acted as if you had any say in the proposal either? It was as if he blamed you for everything.
