<div style="text-align: justify;">Esther was relieved to be immersed in a conversation with the family, even if she was still unsure about whether or not there would be a wedding at all. For now, though, she decided that she would behave as though everything was perfectly well and do what she was expected to. She would have to deal with Caldar later. <br/><br/>Smiling at Queen Eira when she commented on the gowns, Esther nodded. She had expected their tradition to be something vastly different. Luckily for her, it was quite similar to what they had back home. She could easily do with wearing a fur cloak, as it was traditional in the land. "I would have no objection, if you would deem me worthy, your Majesty", she replied politely to Queen Eira's offer.<br/><br/>Esther was about to say something more when Caldar's voice sounded. She felt her heart race once again, and then sighed softly. He really didn't want this marriage, did he? Once again, she felt the urge to turn back around and ask her parents to take her home and choose another husband. Still, she knew Fate had already been set, and they were supposed to be married, so she sucked it up once again.<br/><br/>Looking at the prince, she noticed he looked much better dresses as he was. Not resisting, she dared to speak to Caldar. <br/><br/>"Is your wound better, my lord?", she asked politely, her gaze lowered to her plate, as she really did not wish to see the expression of anger or contempt in his eyes, in case there happened to be one.</div>
