Merylin took my hand in hers. "You have been attending dinners all your life. This is nothing out of the ordinary and I know that you will do great, princess."
Did she really expect me to believe that? By those words alone I knew they were hiding something from me. "Just tell me." I said again.
Merilyn pursed her lips forward. "There is nothing to tell, really. It is like any dinner that is held for a king who visits. The only difference is that beloved's are cherished highly."
"Beloved's are cherished highly? Marylin, wives are always cherished highly." I told her. No matter what position the marriage of any nobleman or King might be in front of everyone the spouse was to be cherished with utmost respect and love.
"Not like that, no," she shook her head, "human marriages can end in divorce or taking up mistresses. This does not happen with the supernatural. Mates are for life and they are cherished accordingly. So my advice would be not. . To. ."
