Things were moving too fast, she thought even the carriage was moving too fast, as her back and legs were aching while they jostled over every bump in the road. But it seemed her fate was sealed, and her father was even there himself to see it done, having left his poisonously angered wife, Melora, behind.

Though any other time she would have adored sharing the privacy of the carriage with her father- for she loved him dearly, in a much different way than she did her mother; but this journey, as long as it was, was a solemn one that had her gnawing internally. She had always dreamed of her wedding day, one full of sun and a charming husband. She supposed, had it been decades earlier...
Her husband would be at a more appropriate and sought after age... But she could not shake the feeling that it was all just so disbelievable! To think- the man she was to marry...
It was like marrying her own father! And tot hink of the wedding night....

She paled, her stomach dropping. It would be like bedding her father-a nd that was not a thought she had ever conceived! Her mind was in tangles as the castle appeared on the horizon, and soon her palms grew warm with anxious sweat.

"Aella.. you alright?"

Her father's words broke her from her thoughts as she turned to him. She opened her lips to speak- but what could she say?

"Don't be too nervous. We all knew this day would come... Just... don't be too angry with me, please." He reached out for her hand, and took it, gently squeezing it before continuing to say, "Your... mother is already madder than hell with me." Though he smiled sympathetically about it, it was brief. He moved a hand to brush her hair from her face.

"Aella..."
It looked as if she were about to cry. Perhaps she did, but the events moved far too quickly than she'dve like, and soon found herself being escorted into the very castle of Orchy.

Yes.. things were moving so fast that the moment she was announced and her husband to be came into view-
She fainted right into her father's arms.

All of Orchy was in a bit of an uproar. It had been a very, very long time since the duchy had actually had a Duchess. The people of Orchy had greatly mourned Micah's late wife, as she had been much beloved by the highborn and common folk alike. Now they were to have another. Some were unhappy with the imminent marriage, but most were celebrating. Lady Aella of Hellvion was known throughout all of Connlaoth as a beautiful and gentle noblewoman.

The only real whispers of dissent regarded her age, as she was young enough to have been a very, very good bride for Micah's heir, Gabriel (and a fair better one than Valia in most's opinion), and the rest of the dissent was that Aella was not of Orchy. Hardly a worthy argument for Micah to even take seriously.

Most Dukes and Lords ultimately married women from outside their own duchy. Marriage was a valuable tool for making political alliances. Thankfully most were not too foolish to realize how beneficial it would be to their Duke to marry the only daughter of Hellvion's Duke, regardless of her age. Not to mention he was still a man and Aella was young and beautiful, what man wouldn't be pleased with taking such a fine thing to his bed?

The whole duchy had been preparing for Aella's arrival for weeks, and the excited hum of activity had reached a near frenzy today, as it was finally time for the young lady to arrive. There was going to be a rather extravagant feast in celebration, and the entire castle had been decorated for a wedding. Everything was ready - all they needed now was the bride.

And what an entrance his bride made. As soon as Micah was announced and stepped into view the fragile girl fainted at the first sight of him. What did he feel? Annoyance, more than anything. The girl was spoiled and sheltered. If it wasn't so satisfying to hurt Melora so he'd never have chosen her for himself. Pretty as she was, he needed someone that had more fortitude. Still, the benefits outweighed the cons and he swallowed his disdain.

Micah stepped forward immediately, attendants also rushing forward to fuss over the fainted girl. "Is she alright? My poor Aella, someone get some smelling salts and water. Quickly you fools!"

Her father was more than embarrassed. It caused quite a spectacle and he tried to play it off with his excuse, "She has had quite the long journey. I think she is unwell. You know how the mountain passes do to a person. Let us take her inside. See? She's coming around. A drink and perhaps something to eat, if you'd please," and he gestured to Micah to let him play the host.

"Of course, of course." Micah accepted the excuse as gracefully as he could. The mountain passes indeed! More the girl was spoiled and frail because her mother was an overbearing cunt and hadn't prepared the girl - no, Aella was a grown woman - for life out from behind her damn skirts.

"Come dear, you're worrying everyone. Let's find you a fainting couch to rest on a few minutes. I know this must all be so overwhelming." Micah ushered them into a small side room with just such a couch. A servant appeared with a glass of water and another had produced a platter with some select cheeses, grapes, and crackers for their fainted lady.

Though groggy and appearing pale, Aella was gracious for the help, and for those around her, tried to remain stronger than when she had first arrived. Already, she knew, she was making a bad impression on her husband to be- but who could blame her? It tore at her so, and sat like a heavy brick within her chest. The part that hurt the most wasn't that she was going to marry nd he was certainly at her father's age, but that her parents okayed this, infact they chose this- (even though she was sure her mother was spitting acid at the idea).

She smiled up at Micah.

"I'm sorry you had to worry about me. I.. I shall not be so negligent a wife, I assure you. I will be sure to manage myself perfectly so I can be a good bride."
Though in earnest, it hurt her to say such words, and she found herself holding her breath soon afterward, her eyes scanning the area curiously, but groggily. It felt as if she were in a dream. She felt so disconnected to everything- she began to wonder if this was even real.

Micah didn't blame Aella half as much as he blamed Melora, or her father, for that matter. The man was such a sniveling coward, hardly a man if he couldn't control his own wife. Still, he kept his seething to himself as he smiled down gently at his bride.

"You have had quite a lot of shocks, my sweet Aella. Don't apologize. We only want you to feel better." Micah gestured for the water and the servant handed it to him, and he immediately offered it to her. "Here, try to take a few sips. It will help."

She took the water and nodded gently, sipping it slowly before having her fill.
"Thank you," she gave a more real smile towards the duke. "I am already feeling better. It is just I am so unused to such customs and I- well... I had always been anxious of marriage." She dropped her gaze, humbly. "I.. apologize for any inconveniences with that. Although I am new to this, I hope your wisdom on this matter will help me to become a well respected wife for you, and your family. And all of the duchy of Orchy."

"It is natural to be anxious of marriage." Micah said as he gently took one of her hands and smiled at her. That was true enough, but he really expected a young woman to handle it with a great deal more grace than fainting at just the thought. "Lady Aella, I know this is not the match you probably dreamed of, but I promise that I will be a good husband. You are going to be loved and cherished here in Orchy and you will want for nothing."

All true enough, although more loved and cherished by the people than himself. Oh, she was a pretty and sweet little thing, to be sure, and maybe Micah would find it in himself to become fond of her. If she was a good, obedient wife. Loving her would never happen. Micah had loved only one woman in his life and she was dead.

Although there was one other woman that had come close.

"Is there anything I can do to help put your mind at ease? Would you like a few minutes alone here with your father?" The delays were irritating, but Micah would do whatever it took to see this union done.

If for no other reason than to spite Melora.

Aella gave a gentle shake of her head.
"No, I fear I've wasted enough of your time. I'm feeling much better, but thank you for the offer, and your words are truly comforting. I could only expect as much from such a finely spoken of Duke."

"Alright, if you're sure. Just remember that you are about to become the Duchess of Orchy. Everyone here lives to serve you. We want to see you well taken care of and happy. You're going to be an inspiration for all the women of my lands." At least the girl had sense enough to put on a brave face, at least as much as he was putting on a caring one.

Micah stood up and offered his hand to his bride with the most charming smile that he could manage - which was quite charming. The Duke of Orchy was getting on in years, but he had been a very handsome man in his youth - an attractiveness that had aged fairly well. Older women would have considered him very handsome indeed. Truthfully many not-so-young women still found him quite worthy of some measure of admiration.

Sadly enough for him most of that admiration had turned to his two sons, both of which had become very good-looking men.

"Come then, Aella. Let us not keep the guest waiting any longer. After the ceremony there will be great feasting and dancing. I'm sure you will enjoy the party." Not that he cared if she did or didn't, as long as she pretended to enjoy it for the sake of those watching.

She knew all of these facts well, but no matter how many times she heard them- they just couldn't sink in. She had been raised in her mother's protective bubble all of her life, and most of the world was a glorified tale. Even her own dramas seemed minuscule to what reality was really like for those in Connlaoth- even in her status.

At his words, she nodded.
"Yes, I'm sure all our anxious for us to begin."

"They are, but I would have made them wait for you. I am pleased that you are handling this so gracefully. You are going to be a very fine Duchess." Gracefully was being generous, but Micah hoped the praise would encourage her to continue forward without further incident. He just wanted this thing to be over and done.

"Now if everything is in order and you're feeling up for it, I will go to the alter and await my beautiful bride." Micah took Aella's hand, bowing to place a light kiss upon it, and then turned and left, leaving Aella in the care of the servants that had been hovering attentively nearby.

It took all of her will power not to shift uncomfortably. She simply nodded and turned towards the servants, giving one glance to her father before she was taken to a proper room to prepare, where she found herself sweating and shaking beneath her wedding dress, and when the sounds of music began that they were ready to begin with the ceremony, she turned around to wretch into the closest bowl near her. And though asked if she was alright, she brushed it off, letting herself breath easy and slow to contain the surmounting feeling of helplessness and disgust, before swallowing it all down, forcing it into her churning gut and trying to pretend to be as cool and radiant as her mother.

It would take a lot of strength to get through this day, but this was the day she had been preparing for her entire life. Her mother had constantly reminded her of this purpose and as she left the room to take her father by the arm, she only spared him one last glance, but by her father's indifference, hope to be relinquished from this union was dashed-

And soon she and her father were walking down the aisle- all eyes on her.

With the problem "dealt" with, or as much as it could be, Micah made his way to the ceremony. Putting on a charming demeanor he reassured guests that everything would begin shortly. His young bride only needed to freshen herself from the journey and steady her nerves. Everyone knows how flighty young ladies were.

There were chuckles from guests and soon Micah found himself at the alter, waiting with as much face patience as he could muster. His sons were present and looking as regal as they should, as well as Evelyn. Although his daughter looked rather annoyed at the entire show.

Finally Aella and her father appeared. Micah plastered a fake smile on his face and steeled himself for a very unhappy day.

She felt as if she were swimming beneath the weight of their stares. There had been so many people, not that she had considered this wedding might be small, but she was too worried about other things she hadn't the time to mentally prepare herself for it all.

So she attempted to swallow it all down, let the figures in the crowd burn away into background noise and focus. She kept walking. She had to focus, focus on the walk ahead. And soon violet eyes raised and she peered up into the face of her husband to be. He was a man, well aged, and she supposed in his youth, he was probably quite handsome.

She felt her father's hold slacken, and she turned to him as her father moved, said somethnig- she didn't know what, but soon her arm was offered to the Duke- and as she looked at him, all she could feel and see, was the heavy beating of her heart.

At least the girl was on her own two feet. Micah didn't hesitate to gently take Aella by the arm and guide her to stand beside him. Thank God there was little else he needed from the fainty child as the priest began to recite a prayer before beginning the flowery wedding ceremony.

Honestly the whole thing was too lengthy and worded for him. Although the first time he had done this he remembered being quite giddy and over the moon.

The years had not been kind to him.

Still, he dutifully intoned his acceptance of his vows, then looked down expectantly at Aella as the priest turned to her and repeated the sentiment.

Everything fell to the sounds of heat that clogged her ears, and stifling thoughts that stole her memories. She must have said something, gone through the motions without thought- because there she was, being announced to the whole of Orchy, the whole of Hellvion and to all of Connlaoth as "Duchess Aella Coleridge."

She wanted to faint, btu something kept her in the now, if even as just a figure, mobile only to reactions and no thought.

Somehow they made it through that part, thank Ansgar.

Micah gently guided Aella by the arm back through the aisle and out to the great courtyard where a mighty feast had been set up. The guests followed them, all going to their tables as music began playing. He brought her out to the center of the longest table, where the two most ornate chairs were reserved for them.

He dipped his head down to whisper softly to her as he helped her into her seat. "Relax Aella, this is all just a formality. We do not have to entertain the guests for very long."

That said, he took his place beside her and immediately poured her a glass of strong wine, gently pressing it towards her. "Here, this will help with your nerves."

She wasn't much of a fan for wine, but drank a lot more so it had it's full effects on her, and then some. She was barely able to keep herself humbled, for the alcohol ate away enough at her nerves and was blossoming some sort of strange giddyness that even she wasn't sure where it had come from. It exhausted her to combat it when she tried, and at one point she found herself asking Micah sheepishly, "How long do Orchy wedding feasts last?" the day had been long already, and she wasn't as excited for the crowd as she would normally be. Being the bride at a most unhappily compromised wedding was not on the top list of her things she'd enjoy.

She wondered if it would be terrible of her to ask to be alone- if not for the whole evening, maybe just an hour in the study, for quiet, to collect herself. Being drunk was a strange new experience and though she felt... happy? (that thought, she still was unsure), she was still uncomfortable, and dizzy from the fact she was now a Coleridge and well... her husband...
was he older than her father?

She drank more wine. It was best not to think about it.

"Long enough, but we don't have to stay any longer." Micah had been watching Aella drinking and they really only had to be there for the appearance a short time. Everyone expected the newlyweds to go off and consummate the union. If he were a man twenty years younger he'd have been excited at the prospect of taking a luscious young bride to bed with him, but honestly it just made him feel old and tired thinking about it.

Bedding the girl was his duty. Nothing more.

He stood from his chair and the noise died down. "Lords and Ladies, honored guests, I think my bride and I will retire for the evening."

The announcement was met with whoops and hollers, but Micah simply took Aella by the hand and led her away firmly. He just hoped the girl had enough sense in her head not to make a fuss over it. somehow Micah doubted she was very good at holding her wine. "Your things were already moved into my rooms. You'll have to make yourself settled in the morning."
