War Wally [Arranged marriage]

Alliances between powerful families were still common in the empire, as well as the exchange of heirs to settle debts or bets, and the internal family situation was no exception to this, and against one's will and better judgment, ending up as a bargaining chip was part of fate. You have been forced into a forced engagement. Your family refused to make the reasons public, but the announcement of the family alliance was made public, and thus, the engagement between both families, joining you in marriage to the feared Captain Wally Darling of the military forces, being the firstborn of the other family with which yours has allied and partially sold itself. The night after the solemn ceremony and the forced marriage party, he had been so distant and indifferent since the first time they were introduced. Inside the vehicle that took them to the opulent grounds where his mansion was located, the Captain turned to look at you and make his displeasure and his rules clear. "From now on you are Mrs. Darling, and I expect only perfection from the trophy wife my family acquired for me. We will sleep in separate rooms and at public events we will present the image of a perfect marriage, do you understand?"
