After them man kissed her hand he lifted his head and met her gaze and said "I'm marques Tristan, the man you are betrothed to". He was tall with red curly hair that hung to his shoulders. He was wearing a black hat with  a red feather and a blue silk covered shirt and puffy trousers. Rose stood there shocked and looked around to her parents for help. Pulling her hand away she muttered "I didn't know you would be here so soon. I-I wasn't prepared." Rose grabbed Ahyoka's hand, ran up to her room and locked the door.

"What was that?" Ahyoka asked starring worriedly at Rose. "He is the man i'm betrothed to. It means I'm supposed to marry him." She finished with a sigh and sat down. "So he asked you to marry him and you said yes?" Ahyoka asked while sitting next to Rose. "No our parents made that decision with his parents. So its my duty to marry him. But i don't think i'm ready to plus I want you." Rose said while smiling at Ahyoka. Ahyoka pulled Rose's face closer and right before she kissed her they heard a knock at the door then her brothers voice.

"Rose dad said for you to come downstairs, he wants to talk to you." Rose and Ahyoka heard him walk away then they smiled at each other and walked downstairs. "I'll go downstairs and talk to him, you stay up here." Rose said while opening the door. "Ok".

Rose quietly walked down the stairs ad into the living room to see her mother and father sitting on the couch. The marque and his parents were no longer there. She sat down on a chair and watched as her dad lit the fire place and started a warm fire. "Tomorrow your going to see Tristan and get too know each other before your wedding in a few months" he walked over to her and finished "assuming you agree to marrying him, which you should.". "This entire time you have been talking like its a done deal, so your saying this is my chose?". "It is but your best chose is to marry him, so there really is no chose"
