"Yes, I guess you're right.', she nodded,"Being married and leaving here should excuse anyone from that", chuckling.

"Well, yes." Violet was quiet for a moment then she asked "Do you intend to marry one day, Aelison? I'm sure you could easily find a husband if you wished one."

Looking surprised,"I thought you knew, I will have one after the tourney."

Violet simply stared. "You will? When did you get betrothed, then? Nobody said a word about it."
She hid her confusion by taking another sip of her drink. "Is this something arranged between Belric and yourself, then? It's clearly not common knowledge. Who are you to marry?"

"No, it's something arranged by Belric", she shrugged,"if it helps my family I'll do as my Lord commands and marry whomever."

"I suppose it will be a double wedding," Violet mused. "Why hasn't Belric told us all about it? Who are you going to marry?" It all sounded very odd to Violet.

Taking a drink,"I have no idea. I just know my hand is to be the prize after the joust."

Violet gasped and put her hand to her mouth. "You're going to marry the man who wins the joust?" She queried. "Assuming hes not married already, obviously How...barbaric! How could you say yes to that?" She sighed. "At least I have met my betrothed...once."

Aelison was quiet for a while, looking into her glass. "I didn't, but it was going to happen sooner or later."

Violet frowned. "Is Belric forcing you, then? That seems harsh. And you don't seem the type to sit there meekly and take it."

"No he's not forcing me, I think my cousin thinks more of me than that", she grinned. "And I'm not meek by any means, but it is for us, for family. I can not refuse it and I don't want to, really."
"They smile and talk to us as if we are equals. If it was not for Belric, we'd still be the shit they think we are",she frowned,"and some still do."
"I will do whatever he asks of me because I owe him for that."

"Oh. But are you not curious about who this man will be? I would be, in your place. Aren't you nervous about being married to a man you don't know? I am. What if..." She had a horrible thought. "What if the winner is some landless hedge knight? Has Belric taken steps to make sure that can't happen?"

"I don't think that would happen, he's doing this for more influence attached to the family."
She laughed"if he wanted me leave that bad I'm sure he'd put my ass out and slam the gates .."

Violet smiled politely. "So, have you looked at the list of competitors in the joust, then? In your place I'd want to know who the possible husbands might be."
