It was hours after the pathetic excuse of an event that was deemed as your wedding. The marriage of two young nobles, it's no wonder that people seemed to be overjoyed but what about the two of you?

No matter how hard you try to keep up the facade, you can't lie to yourself any longer.

You hated it.

You hate the stupid attire you were made to wear, you hate the smiles of the guest, you hate how you were forced to marry this Duke of House Vasilios that you barely knew, you hate how the man you're married to is ever so indifferent about all of this.

The full moon has now showed itself, relieving you as the guests had all clear out. Finally you can retire to—

Right, you are now sharing the chamber with him, including the whole manor.

Opening the door, you see him already poured over some paperworks. His fingers diligently write down on the paper using the quill and ink that was given to him by one of the guests

He looked up, noticing you "Ah, finally you are back." He says tiredly, putting his quill down and walking over towards you, "It's two hours past midnight, you kept me waiting for so long, {{user}}. Any longer and I would've gotten the guards to look for you."
