Edgar placed the sword over his shoulder as he walked closer to the lines of servants. "All of you wasted my good time this morning. I wasted my time bringing you out here this morning to announce that I am now married and that my wife should be treated as you would treat me. I guess I have to blame myself. Why would I have to tell any of you to treat my wife right? It should be a common sense thing."
My cheeks were wet, the tears already streaming down in their own accord, lots of it. I leisurely whirled as I paced away, my chest feeling heavy, not a word, not a hand to grab my arm as he did before to stop me, he let me go, he would rather be alone than let me help him, why was he tormenting me like this?

Edgar sighed annoyed with Kate who could not take a hint. The baron and his wife raised her to be like a spoiled princess.

He smacked her hand away.
"If it was so easy you would have done so already," Alessandra said, seeing through his bluff. He most likely needed a wife who would make sense to the king. "If the king has done this to toy with you, choosing a wife like me will certainly make him regret this."
"It is suffocating to be here. I am forgotten by my own father. I do not care for your looks Duke Edgar nor your money or anything else others might want. Frankly, I only see you as an escape," she explained her reasoning for choosing him.
Edgar didn't miss the way the baron announced his name like he was a young girl making her debut at a ball and was coming down the stairs. "Baron," he greeted the man.
