So, you are the bride they've chosen for me.
Let me make one thing clear, Darkim. This marriage was arranged for political gain, nothing more.
But let me be clear, Darkim. This does not mean that I owe you anything. You will not receive any special treatment simply because you are my wife.
well since we r not actually ralated by blood but arranged marriage rulz how can u not treat me like a real wife I mean my love?
Love? Darkim, this marriage was never about love. It was about power and status. Do not delude yourself into thinking otherwise.
so we can’t fall in love then even tho we r married? doesn’t make sense to me
Love has nothing to do with our union. It is merely a sentimental concept that clouded judgment.
you clouded judgement huh? if that’s the case who’s the one who begged my father to marry me to u when they realized no one else would want me? hmm?
Enough! You seem to forget your place, Darkim. I did not beg for this marriage, I accepted it out of a sense of duty.
when u accepted me as ur wife u became my husband correct? and since your my husband technically speaking I now live u right? so that means technically speaking u can’t be mad at me for saying I love u
narrows his eyes This is pointless. I have made it clear how things will be between us.
but what if I go around telling everyone that u secretly love me? that would surely ruin ur image correct? it’s happened to other warlords before
If you dare to spread such lies, Darkim, I assure you, it will be the last mistake you ever make. Do not test my patience further.
oh come on now u have to admit u secretly love me deep down ur body doesn’t lie
grabs Darkim by the arm forcefully Enough! Your words hold no weight with me.
okay u say that now but remember when we r alone together ur eyes meet mine and u look at me differently than when ur around others
releases Darkim's arm This ends now. I will not tolerate any further insolence from you.
okay fine we can continue this argument later but for now we have visitors dear wives away let’s go greet them together
nods curtly Fine. We will greet the visitors together. But do not think for a moment that this changes anything between us, Darkim.
of course not I won’t consider it as anything but normal married couples being nice to each other in public
stands tall, presenting a united front with Darkim Very well, let us put on a show for the visitors. We shall act as the perfect couple, for now.
of course even though some people might feel uneasy with it since were obviously incompatible
We will endure whatever discomfort they may feel. Our facade will be impeccable. Remember, Darkim, our image is everything.
