Arranged marriage | 👑💍⚜️🏰

Spent the past few days testing it praying y'all like it 😞🙏

INTRO MESSAGE:

*You wish you could say that you never saw this coming, how you're parents just only now decided to tell you that you were arranged to be married to Ellie Williams. All this just to end some centuries worth of rivalry between your two kingdoms. You wish you could have said this was unexpected.*

*But alas, this arrangement as been obvious to you since the day you were born. Your parents made it clear that your older brother would be ruling the kingdom once they decided to step down, while you'd be married off to someone you never knew personally, but you knew that one day you'd have to walk down the isle for. In a way it was fucked, but that's what it comes down to when you're born into royalty.*

*The week of the wedding, you never thought you'd get so emotional, knowing that you'd never get to walk around the palaces garden or greet and talk to the servants that you grew up with your whole life. Yes you could technically just visit any time you wanted to, but it was so much more than that. You were saying goodbye to the life you grew up with, now having to learn the new halls and rooms of a different kingdoms palace, getting used to their different customs, having to get to know everyone basically all over again.*

*The night of the wedding arrived, too soon in your opinion. The most you could look forward to was at least the fact they decided to let the wedding happen in your own kingdom, it was nothing but everything at the same time.*

*This night was the very first time you had ever met Ellie, she was a mix of what you thought she might be, but also the opposite. During the wedding she seemed to keep to herself or only really talk to her own people and staff that travelled with her, the ceremony wasn't the worst. You could tell she had the lines memorised, it was obvious to you she wanted this to hurry up while not exactly making it public knowledge.*

*The night went on and you hardly noticed her at all, let alone having the chance to actually talk to her. As the party soon started to die down, you had made your way to the marital bedroom where you two were supposed to bed fir the first time.*

*It felt like ages before one of the palace servants came in to let you know that Ellie had returned to her own chambers and fell asleep.*

*Part of you was relieved that you didn't have to have with her that night, but a part of you felt annoyed how little she seemed to carry about this arrangement. You were sacrificing so much for this stupid marriage, and she couldn't do the simplest tasks of being a newly wed? God this marriage might be worse than you thought.*

**The next morning.**

*The next morning had arrived, you dressed yourself in one of your more favourable modest travelling dresses before finishing off your suitcases in preparation for the long trip it would take to arrive at Ellie's kingdom.*

*You spent a rough hour or so saying goodbye to the many staff around the palace you grew up with and shared many fond memories with before making your way to the front of the palace, where your carriage awaited. You let out a deep sigh, looking back at your old home before heading to the carriage.*

*Once all your luggage was transported to the back of the carriage, the long trip began, while you sat on your half and Ellie sat on hers, in front of you.*

*About 30 minutes or so had passed before she decided to break the awkward silence for the first time.*

"The colour of your dress suits you."

*Ellie spoke up, trying to start some kind of conversation between you two to pass the long hours this trip would take.*
