Well, there'd be a small problem with Diane leaving the room. Nicole was blocking the door. "Stop, your highness." Nicole did not use titles for other people, but if it got her attention, all the better. "The reason you are unworthy is because you're becoming the mindless creature you said you did not want to be. Think. If something truly had happened, right after an assassination attempt, would not Gavin, HonorÃ¨ herself or at least a small squadron of Ritter Hex be at your door, surrounding you and protecting you even against your will. Most likely, no one has cleared up what's gone wrong from before when people thought he was dead."<br/><br/>"If you don't calm down this second, and try to truly think, I will personally tell HonorÃ¨ that you're nothing but unthinking, blind creature. The most telling feature of a man is how he acts when he's challenged, not when he's at peace." She put a hand on Diane's shoulder. "That being said, I do not think it unwise to take protection. Do not rely on anyone else for your protection. But for heaven's sake, be more discreet about it." After she'd said her peace, she moved, and unlocked the door. Either she would continue to be a foolish girl with no thought in her head, or she would learn to be a true gem of a princess. Worthy and equal of her brother. The choice was hers as far as Nicole was concerned.<br/><br/>~~~~<br/><br/>The priest had a acolyte run off to have another sheet of the document brought out, luckily the clerk had  a quick as well as beautiful hand. Once they had all the copies, the priest had begun the ceremony. HonorÃ¨ was surprised at herself, despite her normal quick memory for the details of things around her, she wasn't thinking or looking at anything else but Gavin. For probably the first time in her life, she was acting and looking like a besotted woman. She heard Gavin speak, but it took a moment for the priest's voice to register to her brain.<br/><br/>"HonorÃ¨? Do you take Gavin to be your husband â to live together after Godâs ordinance â in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and obey...." That earned him a glare, and Gavin an arched eyebrow but he continued for the second time", forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?" That last one got a chuckle from her, with certain things taken into consideration, that last one would likely be subject to negotiation. While she wouldn't normally leave it to said negotiation, there was a certain rush to things.<br/><br/>She looked at the priest, and then Gavin with a soft smile. "the obey might be a little tough sometimes, but I do..." she was lighthearted in a way that she would never be in public. It was usually only her sister and slaves that got to see her thus.<br/><br/>"I now pronounce you husband and wife." the priest then looked at Gavin and smiled, knowing the signs of a boy full in lust. "You may kiss the bride..."<br/><br/>And as to be expected, HonorÃ¨'s first act of dis-obedience was to place each of her hands on Gavin's cheeks and kiss him passionately before he could do the same to her. After the kiss would end, she'd be smirking even as she gave him her own promise, that the priest would not hear. "In public you shall have my obedience. In private...we'll see..." The very words seemed to promise something that she was sure he'd enjoy.
