I'm going to try posting three chapters at a time so I have room for editing and thinking, so for now this will be the latest update! ———

We had finally made it to the king and queens grand castle. The documentaries I used to watch about the great kings and queens showed off a lot of how their castles would look but this was grand.
We stopped at the front of the gate, Hendrick got out first and helped me out. But before we could move further and pulled him in close and tightened his grip on me, it hurt.
"Ow, H-Hendrick?" I whine. "Do not fuck this up for me, do you understand? It's already embarrassing enough having to walk you around like a dog..." He sneers in my ear.
I bite my tongue, holding back insults and nod. He loosens his grip and we walk towards the gates.
We were escorted by a servant into the main ball room. It was huge and there were people everywhere of all rankings.
"We announce——Count Hendrick Grant and Countess Naomi Grant have arrived!" The two announcers on the sides of the us shout.
The room goes quiet for a bit and most turn to stare at us, or more so me. I haven't made too much of an appearance outside, I've been keeping my distance from everyone, especially my family.
"Is that his wife? She's so pretty"
"How come we've never seen her before"
"I hear he's been taking up whores in their marriage bed, that might be why"
"Hmmp good thing my husband would never do that!"
We walk across the floor until we reach the king and queen.
"Your Imperial majesty's" We both bow.
"You two may rise" The king says.
"Thank you for coming, I know you are a very busy man Hendrick" The queen smiles at us. "Yes we couldn't miss such an important occasion like this, right?" He looks towards me.
"Yes, it's an honor your grace" I agree.
"Oh dreary you look just like me when I was your age, oh the youth!" The Queen says complementing me.
