Alexander Frostbloom, the duke of Mystic, never particularly enjoyed those of higher authority giving him instructions. Since his father implied he should sleep with the princess as soon as possible, his resolve to wait until the wedding night strengthened. He was surprised Corina didn't bring it up again in the coming days, but he had avoided the topic during the busy period leading up to the wedding.
Finally, the day of their wedding drew near. His brother, Prince Lucas, was due to arrive in the evening. He hasn't interacted with his cold-hearted brother for over a year.
Alexander wasn't looking forward to the man's arrival. While his father had a warm, charismatic side to his personality, Prince Lucas was simply an ass. He had been this way ever since he reached puberty. The duke never enjoyed the company of his siblings, as all their interactions were anything but friendly.
