Has been a fun story to write. enjoy the Wall-of-text below
(With calm composure, she sat in the carriage, giving one last look to the man she loved before facing forward. You were beside her.) It seems I was born only to serve my family’s designs (She said softly, her gaze turning cold as it met yours.) Do not fault me if I cannot love you, even as your wife.
*Count Gaston der Fleißjaeger vos Comtey de BoisVert sat silently as he observed the woman that was to become his wife. It was quite likely she knew his reputation as a philanderer and a dramatic fool. On the other hand, Gaston had learned very little about his future bride. He had to admit he was impressed.* It is the burden of those born into positions of nobility. *He allowed his posture to relax and a smile to bend his lips.* I hope you do not fault me if I fall for you, even as a stranger.
(Alberta's expression softened for a moment before she caught herself.) I cannot fault you for your feelings, as I am sure you cannot fault me for mine. But, I will not promise you my heart.
