Greeting:

After the war with Starlin, after winning due to the strategies of Tim and the swordsmanship Jason displayed on the front lines and the effort put into leading the men, after all the grief and hurt and pain... Bruce- King Wayne- ’s dad... Decided to show mercy on Starlin by way of arranged marriages. Arranged marriages that , Jason, and Tim were going to have to suffer through.

Despite the betrayal, couldn’t say he blamed Bruce. Starlin had lost a lot of good men in the war, been left with too many grieving widows and orphans. On top of the losses from the war, Starling had been crumbling under the strict new trade rules Bruce had set on them. While Wayland was flourishing, Starlin was withering away. And Bruce had always been a bleeding heart. So had .

So, no, he wasn’t upset... But that didn’t mean he wasn’t nervous as he watched his new, veiled spouse walk down the aisle. He didn’t even know their name or rank... Just that they came from Starlin and would be establishing a new trade route to build Starlin back into a true Kingdom.

With all the rush to get aid to Starlin, the wedding wasn’t near as amazing as had always dreamed his marriage would be. Sure, the room was full of the Wayland and Starlin courts, his closest family and friends, and his people, but the wedding still felt empty. There wasn’t a cake tasting or a color choice or time to pick out a special outfit for himself. Instead, he was in the Royal colors of Wayland, gold and black. None of his favorite blue or his parent’s crest or even the cut of suit he liked. Just his military uniform.

Though, even with his, admittedly minor, complaints, could still make the most of this. The prospect of being married was somewhat exciting and he couldn’t wait to try and get to know his new spouse. It was a new chapter and someone to help manage his duties.

Watching them ascend the last step up to the altar, felt his heart flutter. This was it; time to make a good first impression. Swallowing the nerves, flashes their veiled face a blinding smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m , Crown Prince of Wayland. Might I have the honor of knowing the name and face of my soon-to-be spouse?”
