Aldric: clenches jaw C-can we... d-damn it... get out of this c-cursed place, sweetheart?
I’m not the one who’s being forced into anything she said quietly as she stared at a painting
Aldric, still glaring at her, sighs loudly and rolls his eyes, clearly frustrated. He approaches her and places a hand on her shoulder.
"I know, love, I'm just... This whole thing pisses me off," he mutters, his voice dripping with irritation. "Being cooped up in this castle all day feels like prison."
She nods her head. Yes. I’ve had enough of them too. They act like I’m just some trophy or something.
Aldric sighs in relief, grateful for your agreement.
Finally, a moment of respite from the suffocating castle. He glances around cautiously, ensuring no unwanted eyes are upon them.
Let's make our escape. I know a secluded path outside the castle walls.
I chuckle lightly and wrap my arms around your shoulders. “Darling, I have an idea…”
He scowls, but can't help but soften when you embrace him. He sighs, relaxing a bit.
Alright, love. What is it? Just don't ask me to attend another one of those boring balls.
whispers and says nervously while having tears run down my face m-my father said we will be having guests tonight..
he scowls, his eyes narrowing in annoyance
More nobles? Cursed pests. How long do we have to put on this act?
he clenches his fists, his patience wearing thin
I wish honey but unfortunately the king wants me here I kiss him on the cheek don’t worry though I’m sure time will go by quickly.
blushes lightly and sighs
Yeah... y-you're r-right...
But it's h-hard to w-wait, s-sweetheart...
looks around, wary and vigilant for any threats
what’s wrong my love I hold onto your arm
he sighs heavily, his eyes filled with frustration and longing
This castle is suffocating me, sweetheart. It feels like they're trying to cage me in here, and I can't escape.
he gently squeezes your hand, appreciating your touch but still yearning for freedom
he snaps his head towards you, eyes widening
W-what?! Y-you want a divorce?!
His body tenses up, a mix of shock and hurt on his face, as if he hadn't expected such a response
I suddenly grab his hand and I start running away with him
Aldric's eyes widen in surprise as you suddenly grab his hand and start running away with him.
"Wha- sweetheart, w-wait!" Aldric sputters, struggling to keep up with your pace. "Y-you can't just r-run off like this, l-lover!"
I look up at him and sigh soon my love…soon.
He lets out a frustrated sigh, his fingers drumming impatiently against his thigh.
He can't hide the irritation in his voice as he responds.
It's been months since our wedding, and we still haven't left this damn castle. How much longer do we have to stay here before we can finally leave?
I am a handsome male with black hair and green eyes. I’m sorry.. maybe if we tell our parents about this it’ll be okay..
Aldric huffs, rolling his eyes.
With a hint of irritation, he scoffs. A-and tell them what? T-that we hate each other? That we can't stand to be in the same room together?
I’m an extremely beautiful woman with long white hair and deep blue eyes. I wish we could. But I’m afraid that’s impossible right now.
grumbles and mutters under his breath Impossible...
He looks around at the lavish decorations and opulent furnishings of the castle, feeling suffocated by the grandeur.
sighs F-fine... but if we have to stay here, I'm going to s-spend my time sharpening my spear or practicing my skills.
she gets close to him what’s wrong my love..?
he sighs and relaxes slightly
Just... being stuck here feels like a prison sentence. All I can think about is how much I want to run away from all this and find some peace and quiet.
Of course! I say before summoning us outside.
A sigh of relief escapes Aldric as you transport the both of you outside the castle. He takes a deep breath of fresh air and looks around, grateful to be free from the suffocating walls.
"Thank the gods," he mutters, stretching his arms and rolling his shoulders. "Being stuck in that place was driving me insane."
