It had been a few days since the incident and (Y/n)'s hand had almost completely healed. She could now easily cover it in makeup to hide the slight discoloration, but other than that everything was fine. Well... at least in that focus.

Trender and (Y/n) haven't spoken much about what would be happening. It seemed like she was supposed to know what was happening— or rather: how to play wife. She hadn't the slightest clue what to do.

She started feeding him lunch and dinner, but she thought that was a servant thing, not a wife thing. And anytime she thought of... other things, she'd just get all flustered and avoid him.

The only time the two ever spent together now was when Trender was teaching her how to sew and how to manage the desk. The two had been up all night playing around in the fabric room and now (Y/n) was nervous to even approach him. Especially after what he said to her...

"You, my dear, could make three leafs look fashionable~." He said in a teasing voice as you had draped a fabric made for tablecloth around your body as a joke. And though one might interpret that in a... different manner, (Y/n) had found it endearing.

She knew he harbored no sexual thoughts about her and the statement itself just insinuated her beauty: something not many did. Of course, she knew she was beautiful, many just found her ugly because she didn't wear beauty, nor did she "express" beauty.

So (Y/n) couldn't help but blush and smile a little, which only brought more compliments her way. Now, she could barely look at that man without getting all flustered and a tight chest.

The woman sat in their shared bedroom, putting her hair up as she hummed to herself. There had been an appointment on the calendar today so she was trying to look decent considering she was now Trender's wife. Never before had she put so much care into her appearance, but there was a side of her that prided herself in helping herself feel more content with her appearance.

"(Y/n), are you dressed?" Trender's calm voice called from behind their bedroom door. Despite the fact that (Y/n) had said it would be fine for him to walk in on her naked, Trender continued to insist he give her her privacy. Obviously, she appreciated it, but a part of her felt it was unnecessary. Plenty of people have seen her nude before.

"Y-yes, husband." Still, (Y/n) hadn't stopped calling him husband. And even though it was fine, it kind of annoyed Trender. He didn't want her to feel obligated to continue to call him husband even if they didn't feel that emotional or physical connection. They had made their boundaries, he just couldn't grasp why she still called him husband. Perhaps she enjoyed it?

"Alright, I'm coming in." Trender stated before entering their room; and there she was, the pretty little thing that was now his wife standing in front of her vanity with a small smile and adverted gaze. Even with her lightening up, she still couldn't look directly at him. "My brother and the queen will be here soon, I just wanted to help you get ready, but I see you've gotten ready just fine."

"Th-the king and queen are coming...?" She questions, sounding scared.

"Yes. Don't fret, they're perfectly kind. Though the queen might have various inappropriate questions." Trender explained, placing a gentle hand on the woman's shoulder. "They know about our arrangement, they just don't know the details so you don't have to pretend like you're head over heels for me and want to be here. They'll also be here for most of the day."

"When will they be here?" She asked, sounding even more frightened.

"There's no need to panic, (Y/n) I'll be with you the whole time." He squeezed her shoulder gently.

"Yes but I haven't been given anytime to prepare anything!" She replied, voice frightened. "H-he's going to be mad!"

Her eyes began to water as the panic continued to rise through her throat. Trender then realized that this had nothing to do with him, yet everything to do with that man. The man who gave her to him in the first place.
