I get out of bed as I massage my head.Yesterday's memories were not lost either. Still haunting me. I choose to ignore the killer pain  as I dress the dress prepared by Arthur himself.If I stay in bed I will die of pain. Both soul and physical.At the mirror I dress and say "You can resist" but I do not believe that either. Today's love tomorrow is war. It seemed too complicated.What's good in the farewell?I'm done dressing up and deciding to get out of the room. At every step I was welcomed in turn answering and smiling.I reach the dining room and entered with no hesitation. What could be worse than what happened yesterday?At the table were all waiting for food to be served.
-Good morning, my dear Ellie. said Arthur smiling.
-Good morning. I answer with a smile.
He motioned me to sit at a chair on his right. In the tradition here, it is said that the  wife will stand on the right side of  her husband this making me smile.I sat down without hesitation while the table was being filled with various dishes.While the men were discussing the girls  were listening to eating and approving from time to time that is happening now.Suddenly I felt a warm hand resting on my left hand that was sitting in my lap.It was Arthur's hand. It seemed he did not want anyone to see the little gesture, so I kept silent yet enjoying the comfort of his hand.Sometimes I remember my childhood with him who was meant to be my husband sooner than I was thinking.Nobody knew me and my parents, of course, of him and his parents of this marriage for the peace and prosperity of the kingdom.
