Iris please do not speak in that manner in-front of people. (He said sternly)
Sir Clyde Bernard - the marquess and father of Iris.
*bows* apologies my lordship, I was just to excited.
*sigh* what am I going to do with you, you might become the marchioness one day and you act like this. Anyhow you are now seventeen almost eighteen and I believe it's time for you to get married.
What?! No I'm not interested in that and you know that father!
Don't complain! I've waited a year and yet you still haven't found anyone, so I have arranged for you to marry the dukes son Sir Theodore, you are very lucky that he's even interested in a girl like you!
*tears up* ...
The wedding will be in two weeks once I've sorted all the paperwork involved in this marriage. You should be proud that you can marry into a dukes family.
May I see him before the wedding ..
I apologise, but you may not he's very busy and has already taken off a day for the wedding. Is that all?
*has a sour look on face* *runs out*
*sigh* this is for the best..
;In iris's bedroom;
*crying into pillow* why why why! Why me!!
Cora: *rubbing iris's back* ... my lady, his lordship wants the best for you
I didn't want to get married and I don't even get to see him first!
It's a new journey your going to have to figure this out.. *sits on bed*
*hugs Cora and cry's into her shoulder*
*Sigh* *hugs back patting her head* be strong.
