Yes, there is no other choice

(There is no use thinking about this matter. It is already set in stone. Running away isnt an option either, I wont be able to live by my wits for a week. I must stop crying now and come to terms with this marriage.)

You dry your tears and move slowly towards your bed. A myriad of thoughts are floating around in your head.

(Perhaps my father is right. I am really too willful. My family counts on Lord Marks financial support. He has promised to clear our large debt and is also willing to cooperate with fathers general affairs in the future. Even though I don`t have any feelings for my future husband I have to act responsible.)

Thinking about this you suddenly feel very tired and fall asleep quickly.
