<div style="text-align: justify;">Esther used to wake up really early, as soon as the sun was up. Not this morning, though. Last night had been a full one. Well, to be honest, the entire day had been a very long one, even though it had been a happy day. Marrying Braiden had not been a bad thing, not at all. Esther had been promised to him since she could remember, and the letter exchange with him had always been friendly and pleasant. But now things were different.<br/><br/>She was a wife now. A wife to a man she had met a few times, living in a country that was not her own. No matter how much Esther had studied about England, living there was another matter altogether. She would have to be a part of a new Court, a Court she had never been a part of before. A Court that she had yet to learn to navigate. Hopefully, her new husband would be patient enough to teach her.<br/><br/>Waking up slowly, Esther took a moment to remember where she was. For a minute or two, the newlywed thought she was in her room, alone. That bed felt different, though. It felt too soft, and it was too wide. <br/><br/>And then it hit her. This was not her single lady bed back in her old room. It was a marital bed. The bed where she and her husband had… A soft gasp exclaimed the young woman’s lips and she turned bright red, remembering the events from the past night. She was now a wedded woman. And she was no longer a maiden. <br/><br/>Well… she had been prepared for that, but what do you say to a man after those moments? Even if this man is your husband, it was still awkward.<br/><br/>With a deep sigh, Esther finally sat on the bed and looked around the room, until her eyes laid on her husband. She kept silent for a while, simply watching him. He looked more handsome now, wearing simple clothes, than in the regal ones he had on previously, in her opinion. When she finally spoke, her voice sounded soft. “Good morning, my lord”, she murmured, feeling her heart race.</div><br/><br/><a href="//www.creativefreedomrpg.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=110711">@Fain</a>
