You could feel the bile rising to your throat as you took in the scene before you. Satoru and Irulan's marriage ceremony. You knew that it was only so that Satoru could be cemented as Emperor; he had spent many nights begging you to believe that you were his only true love.

Yet you couldn't help the bitterness that settled in your stomach at the facts, you were never going to be Satoru's true wife. You were just a consort.

You looked down on skyline of Caladan, trying to ignore the ongoing celebrations. The sunlight reflecting off the water; you had never seen such a big body of water in your life. Living on Arrakis all your life, water was precious. Your eyes fluttered closed; you missed your planet desperately.

"Told you water was abundant on Caladan." You hear a soft voice speak from behind. You immediately recognized it, Satoru. He stands next to you; elbows laying on the balcony as he eyes flicker to you, a hint of longing hides in his eyes.

His eyebrows furrow as you continue to look out to the distance. "You're mad at me." He mutters as more of a statement than a question. His hand interlaces with yours; trying to get your attention.
