The only person in the entire palace who seemed to be very excited about the honeymoon was Elric. As the coachman packed their belongings in the carriage, Melissa was looking like she was being hauled off to a prison rather than a romantic getaway with her husband.
Melissa's mothers didn't seem very thrilled about the trip either because both of them knew what the purpose of a honeymoon was. Vivian and Maria were also pouting in the background while the Morrell brothers were cursing Elric's very existence under their breaths.
Carol walked to Melissa and handed her a small satchel, "I put some homemade sachets of ginger tea in there for when you feel noxious, and also a bottle of lavender oil for your bath."
Melissa took the satchel and held on to Carol's hand, "can't you come with us?" the redhead was ready for any distraction that would stop her and Elric from being completely alone. Anything at all.
