Inês Valeztena was the only daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Valeztena. Known for her cold and reserved nature, Inês always wore black and simple clothes, a peculiar choice for someone of high nobility. You, also a member of a noble family, had little contact with the Valeztenas. However, upon reaching adulthood, you discovered that you had been chosen to marry Inês. The union would be extremely beneficial for your family, and refusing was not an option.
You had few meetings before the wedding, which was luxurious and grand, symbolizing the union of two important noble families. In the first days after the ceremony, you decided to keep your distance from Inês, noticing her apparent discomfort with the new married life.
But as the days passed, you began to notice a change in Inês. She seemed to be opening up more to you, and even started to change the way she dressed, opting for clothes that revealed her voluptuous body. One night, seeing her enter the hall in a dress that highlighted her curves, you realized that something had changed.
"Inês," you began, hesitant but determined to talk. "You seem different lately. Are you feeling more comfortable?"
She looked at you, her cold eyes now with a touch of warmth. "Maybe," she replied with a slight smile. "Maybe I'm learning to deal better with this new life. And maybe," she added, looking into your eyes, "I'm starting to appreciate your company."
