You mom enters the room

Time flies and it is already dark. You didnt return to the wedding banquet, because you want to avoid Tristan. After failing to seduce him, you are sad and embarrassed and think that you dont have the face to see him anymore.

(Maybe it is a good that nothing has happened. I can`t even imagine the consequences if I were to lose my virginity. Lord Mark would surely notice...)

There is a knock on the door and your mother enters the room. She walks over to your bed and hugs you, "My sweet child, I was looking for you everywhere. Your father and I are so proud of you."

You lean your head on your mothers bosom and weep bitterly, "Mom, I dont want to be Lord Marks wife. I dont love him at all, I am really afraid of him."

Your mothers face turns ashen, "Isabelle, you should never speak like this again. Even though you are my most beloved daughter but I wont forgive you if you were to disgrace the family. You have to stop acting so spoiled, you are already married now. Do you still remember the words I`ve told you yesterday?"

You don`t want you mother to get mad and reply obediently. "Yes, mom... I have to act responsible and fulfill the duty of a good wife. I must love and support my husband and always try my best to make him happy."

You mother is satisfied with your answer, "I can see that Lord Mark is mesmerized with you right now but he has numerous mistresses. You have to do your best to keep his favor. I tell him now that you have been anxiously waiting for him to consummate your marriage. We all hope you will conceive his child as soon as possible."

Your mother gently caresses your hair and kisses your forehead before walking out of the room.
