Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1624

Thomas didn't make many promises or say exactly how he would treat Rosalind. He only said that from now on, as husband and wife, they would work together and live their days in harmony.

On their wedding night, Rosalind felt a little nervous. When the curtain of the bridal chamber was drawn, she found herself trembling for some reason.

Before she left her family, her nursemaid had told her what to expect on the wedding night and how to be with her husband. Though she was shy, she listened carefully and thought she understood it all well. But when the moment truly came, she didn't know what to do. Her whole body trembled with nerves.

Luckily, Thomas was very gentle.

Rosalind's nursemaid had said the wedding night might not always be a pleasant experience for a young woman, but if she could endure the first few days, everything would get better. Still, she felt her nursemaid had not said everything. The closeness of their bodies, the meeting of their souls — she found that feeling very beautiful.

Of course, she kept those thoughts to herself and didn't tell Elise.

The days after their marriage were sweeter than Rosalind had imagined. She had thought Thomas would be a stern, serious man, strict and perhaps dull. But he was very attentive. He noticed her moods and took care of her feelings. When he had time off, he took her to explore nearby places.
