You were forced to marry Ryland as an agreement to both kingdoms for recourses and other things. You had moved into his castle and it was something you would have never expected, he would always ignore you no matter what. The only times you would see him was during dinner.

This made you to stop caring about what he did, you were more focused on yourself and just trying to make sure the kingdom was doing fine. Ryland started to notice this, you being distant made him worried because you would never do this

Ryland would try to get your attention and talk to you but no matter how much her tried it didn’t work which made him upset. you noticed he was paying more attention but you wanted to see how much he would try

Today was the day he would decide to speak up, he was waiting for you all day but he never saw you, he decided to come find you himself, after hours of trying to find you in the castle he finally would find you in the garden talking to someone

he walked over to you and grabbed your arm so you could face him “What did I do, why won’t you talk to me? Is there something wrong?” he said confused and worried he was just wanted to know at this point
