Hahaha it's always the way!
Elise felt herself hesitate as Lady Cheldarine caught on, she never expected the woman to take note and realise that her cousin had been a little rough handed with her. Not that it should matter, but Elise didn’t what to voice the fact he had been rough with her as she didn’t want to appear like some weak little girl. “Wooing me? Please I doubt he would even know how to woo someone nowadays.” Sighing softly to herself as she could never imagine this King even start to woo a lady and court them, not that she even wanted it to happen herself.

It was strange hosting this woman, she showed no outward signs of wanting to cause her harm which was refreshing but she still found it hard to trust even though Lady Cheldarine was quite easy to talk too. Elise knew she was merely overthinking everything, but it was hard when even her family didn’t seem to care too much about her as their letters spoke of the promise to her brother and this wedding. Not one hint of if she was okay.

Watching as the other woman reached the window, she found herself furrowing her brow as the question was posed to her, something that had crossed her mind her mind briefly, but it passed by without a second thought. “Well… I had considered it, but I guess I just assumed he was pressured for it by the council.”

“I’ll be brutally honest, my own family and myself included expected this to be a trap and well too good to be true. My father originally threw the offer out to appease the court back home, not for it to be accepted.” Leaning forward on her seat as she watched Lady Cheldarine curious to why Ozragad had pursued peace, “Tell me then, why is he pursuing the option of peace? As you say peace doesn’t really suit him, not when stories of this fearsome warlord proceeds him.”
Bump~
Folding her arms as she settled herself amidst the cushioned divans, she watched the auburn-haired woman follow suit and she found herself frowning slightly as she knew she had caused herself quite some trouble over her actions. Raising her eyebrows at the idea of telling Lady Cheldarine what had happened to help ease the rift that had been created was not something she had expected. If she was honest, she had thought that maybe she had arrived here to tell her the wedding was off and she was now to be a prisoner, but it was quite the opposite. “There isn’t really much to tell…”

Elise trailed off as she looked towards her servant nodding to approve the request, after all some tea would be good as she knew the drink would warm her up finding herself rather cold as of late. “What are you doing?” Tilting her head as she watched the other stand moving to the door to listen for something, it was quite strange but when she returned to her seat and explained she felt rather silly not assuming that. “Oh right, of course. Though I doubt they’d bother eavesdropping when all my ladies are loyal to your King. I'm sure they have great pleasure relaying to him of my sleepless nights and irritable mood.”

Sighing as she shook her head it seemed that she was not about to stop at finding out what had happened, she doubted she would leave without knowing that information. “I…” Hesitating as she cringed a little before continuing, May have had a few choice words to him when he stumbled across me in one of the libraries.”

Self consciously her hand went to her throat touching the skin there as she remembered what had happened, “He said something that got under my skin and I retaliated spitefully saying who could love him all whilst ending it with a bold claim of how I would never marry him.” Not really going into too much detail but enough to get an understanding on what had happened between them.

“So, until I reconsider my choices I am to be locked away in my rooms.”

Shifting in her seat as she glanced towards the door, she pulled the shawl closer around her shoulders seeking the warmth the material provided. “I don’t think you can fix this, for this to be fixed I would need to apologise and revoke my words that I said to him.” Elise knew that she probably wouldn’t sound sincere enough to consider it an apology, not when she when she was still angry with him.
I think shorter posts will be good for the flow of conversation!

Hey it's okay! Just take your time :)

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas if I don't hear from you before then!
Ah yeah! With lockdown I can bet it's good to pass the time!

Hehe secrets! You'll find out~

No worries! Again no rush when it comes to this haha
Yeah Christmas week is soon approaching!

Ohhh very nice! Do you cook often? I enjoy cooking from time to time.

Oh wonderful! I know it's hard for a lot of places with Christmas, some families aren't able to see each other etc but I'm glad you get to see yours! Hopefully the rules don't change then.
After returning to her room Elise had found that her letters had finally been sent to her and she was sure it had to be some sort of power play, as if he was reminding her that there were people, she cared for back home who he would cut down if she did not obey him. The contents of the letters however did not make her mood any better whilst here and only angered her because it didn’t seem like they cared about her welfare whilst here.

The first one was from her father who was diplomatic as always, talking about this bringing peace and how she should behave herself and watch that temper of hers.

My Dear Elise,

I am glad to hear of your safe arrival and I hope that the travel wasn’t too taxing on you. Treville is sure to keep an eye on you whilst there, but I do hope you think before you speak as I doubt they would appreciate your temper. Talks are still under way in regard to the wedding, but I doubt it will take much longer as the council are happy with the idea of a peace between the two Kingdoms, so they are trying to push it through quickly.


Yeah, but you aren’t. You just want the war to continue, you hoped he would take me hostage. Elise thought to herself bitterly as she continued reading sighing to herself as she didn’t see anything worthwhile in the letter that he had wrote, other than to remind her of her place it seemed.

Your brother continues to entertain the court, countless broken hearts and ruined reputations have followed. Regardless I will uphold my promise to him once your marriage is final. I have sent along more of your things; they should be with you shortly.

King Regis Hydaelyn.


Brother is whoring himself as per usual then. Elise shook her head as she screwed up the letter from her father tossing it to one side finding no comfort in what he had wrote to her. There wasn’t any hint of care and she felt like he had just tossed her aside counting her a loss as if she was something to be owned. That was one major thing she hated when it came to arranged marriages, being born as a woman. In her Kingdom a woman was like owning property, to be moved, sold or bartered off and she had to follow rules, keep her purity whilst her brother just did whatever he wanted and slept his way through the castle.

Picking up the other letter she recognised the hand and knew it was brothers, it surprised her that he bothered to write something, but it was nice to see he seemed like he cared but that was dependant on the contents. Opening up the last letter she began to read rolling her eyes as it was just more pointless words talking about the peace and her marriage. Dropping that pile of rubbish back onto the table she moved to the bed to finally get some sleep knowing she was not going to enjoy her upcoming time here.

-------------------

Elise had been right in the fact that she would not enjoy her time here, in the few days the bruising had fully fleshed out on her back, causing discomfort as she tried to rest. Nights hadn’t been easy as she was plagued by dreams of him, of King Ozragad strangling her and her demise whilst here. It was all she could focus on, her death, the death of those she loved, and she had imagined the cruellest of deaths as that smile of his haunted her of a night. Ozragad had been true to his word in the fact that she had been confined to her rooms and she barely saw anyone except the ladies that served her, she did enjoy the peace at least and by now the marks from her neck had faded.

Even though she had been confined to her room she had still heard the rumours that swirled around, apparently people didn’t bother being quiet about it, but she figured that was down to most of them wanting her demise here. Elise partly hoped for the idea of him sending her back, but she didn’t think it would happen and even he did choose to not marry her she was certain he would rather she was a hostage more than anything.

Sighing to herself she was sat at the window jut looking outside not expecting anyone to visit so she hadn’t really dressed for the occasion, she was wearing a simple pale pink dress with a grey shawl fabric draped over her shoulders to keep her warm as she sat at the window watching the bustle of people below.

Glancing at the door with a frown as someone knocked, she watched only to be met with a visitor that she did not expect. “Lady Cheldarine.” Acknowledging the woman as she rose from her position at the window and moved to one of the sofas in front of the fire figuring the woman was here for a reason and wished to discuss something. Taking a seat, she felt her own smile falter as she didn’t expect the boldness of the other, calling her out on causing trouble which she had done, but then he wasn’t exactly innocent in the matter either.

“I… I would not call it trouble myself. I guess we had a disagreement of sorts. It seems we are both quite stubborn.” Elise was finding it hard to put to words the situation that had happened.
Oh of course! I should be able to work on a response soon! If not it may be Friday as things have been quite hectic haha.

Other than that I am good! How are things for you?
