Keep your head down

You tighten up a bit, keeping your head down and your arms tucked in. It's hard not to feel vulnerable with a hulking eight foot tall fire lizard quite literally breathing down your neck, and even as you attempt to keep a stiff upper lip and preserve some of your royal dignity, it's clear to everyone in the chapel what kind of relationship you've entered into. You graduated from princess to queen, and in the process got demoted from the sovereign of a kingdom to a captive. From the way he always looks at you, you know exactly what kind of captive too.

Finally exiting the chapel, you step into a red and black carriage waiting for the two of you outside. Bowser squeezes in beside you, and you do your best to hide the panic in your face as he rests a massive paw on your thigh, slowly rubbing it up and down with a chuckle as the carriage takes off.
