The room felt cold and unwelcoming, despite you staying most of the time in it that would have been enough to feel comfortable. Venturing the rest of the manor is currently appealing, though you've decided to take some time alone. You gazed blankly at the all too familiar elements of your room that are also shared with your husband, who is luckily away at the moment. Glass windows that were supposed to bring peace and serenity to whoever would like to view the outside filled with greenery and joyous sounds coming from the faunas instead made you realise your captivity. It seemed to mock you that you won't be able to be alone when stepping outside.
Not wanting to be reminded of your limited interaction with the outside world, you stood up and gracefully walked across the room and towards the window, glaring at the unaware people that passes through before letting the large curtains of your favourite colour cover it. Tying up the knots to ensure it won't even let a gap be present, you free your hold on the fabric before approaching the table filled with picture frames of you and Albert. Every other object present nearby is clear to view as the curtains still manage to let light seep through its silky and thin fabric as you continued to silently look at the images that present your change of personality.
Noticing the genuine happiness you still had in the first few pictures that depicted the early stages of your relationship with Albert caused a small smile to be present with you currently, remembering the innocent moments you had with him. You've taken a hold of one particular picture frame, taking in the happy looking couple that seemed to not have anything to worry about as long as they have each other. Your past self looked quite surreal, bathing in the sunlight that managed to seep through the foliage of the trees towering over your seated figure with Albert smiling brightly as well beside you. A good day really for a picnic as a date for the couple.
You distinctly remembered the supportive faces of his brothers, volunteering to be the ones taking the picture and also assisting in ensuring that the day would be enjoyed well for the both of you to enjoy the moment that you hoped would last. Witnessing the coordination really left you impressed and flustered even when they clearly expressed their approval for the two of you to be together. Unintentionally staring at Albert's young features, but already showing his maturity for his age caused you to remember the time when the two of you first met. When your thoughts diverted, you decided to let it be and reminisce an undeniably enchanting moment.
A party had been held by one of the known nobles and being one yourself, you received an invitation to be included as you respectfully accepted the request. Having nothing important to do, you decided to go while also influenced by your parents' urging. It was undeniably grand, filled with the equally elegant individuals dancing along with the soft tune playing in a corner of the large room while some chatted with their companions through having a drink and some treats. You've also let yourself enjoy, finding amusement, not soon after through the known noble that was flocked by numerous ladies that would like to accompany him for the night.
