Adalynn swore to never let anyone harm her family again, so this burglar broke into the wrong house, after everything is done and over with the maids have a bloody mess to clean in the foyer.
Married life has been calm, Adalynn and Orson have been trying to make an heir but so far, they've had no luck. Ada has been keeping herself busy with noble duties but deep down she wonders if something is wrong with her.
Viscount & Viscountess Hemlock🌼
While everyone ate, Orson and Adalynn had their first dance. Orson couldn't take his eyes off of his bride and Ada couldn't believe this man was her husband now.
As everyone rushes to congratulate the happy couple, Ada and Orson lead them to the banquet room where they cut the cake and have their guest's served dinner (Orson has a sweet tooth lol)
Thankfully the ceremony went quickly and without a hitch so there was really nothing for her to worry about and as Orson slides that ring onto her finger, she's never been happier.
Orson is waiting patiently for his bride to be when Ada finally emerges and while her nerves still aren't as calm as she'd like them to be, it's time for her to marry her love.
While it doesn't snow in Ondarion it sure does in Windenburg, luckily the chapel is nice and warm so the guests can stay alive while Ada puts on the last of her accessories and tries to calm herself down before it's time for the ceremony.
I was like oh this isn't too bad then saw the scent 😭
Sir I get that it's your wedding day but she's trying to read
Everyone is dancing in the ballroom, but the happy couple has snuck away for some alone time.
While Adalynn thinks about her parents on this big day Orson has asked Edward to be his best man
Nvm I guess he's okay
Mortimer go die elsewhere you'll ruin the mood
I think Ada is nervous about the engagement party today
They're really trying to kill her 😭
Orson says he was waiting for the perfect moment but hearing about the danger Adalynn was in made him realize he couldn't wait any longer and proposes right then and there. This is what Adalynn was wishing for and she happily accepts, feeling accomplished she made the rare "love match".
Ada fills Orson in on what happened and he's horrified he wasn't there to help; he tells Adalynn that from this day forward he'll be there to protect her.
After spending a few weeks taking care of Edward his injuries have finally healed enough for Adalynn to be able to go out again, she didn't want to leave him in such a vulnerable state. Orson has invited her to lunch to catch up, and Adalynn is very appreciative of the view.
Welp
For her bravery in getting her brother back, Adalynn has been granted the title of Viscountess! Ada's very first act is to knight her brother, brining even more honor to their family.
Edwards best friend Dante came over to visit him and let him know that even though he was beaten within an inch of his life he doesn't look too bad. Edward appreciates the lies.
With Edward home resting Ada is determined never to let something like that happen to her family again. The next time someone harms her loved ones they won't walk away alive.
Once the criminals FINALLY show themselves Adalynn wastes no time shoving a fist full of money in their hand and demands they leave at once. After they're long gone, she carefully helps Edward to his feet and hugs him, grateful that he is alive.
After hours of waiting, the kidnappers contact Adalynn and orders her to meet them at a secluded location no questions asked unless she wants Edward killed. Upon arriving she finds her little brother beaten and unconscious on the ground.
Just as Orson leaves Edward gets kidnapped! It's almost like he's following in Lincoln's footsteps, but Adalynn isn't going to let it end the way it did with their father.
Orson has been calling on Adalynn almost every day lately and since it's now winter, they've decided to have tea in the greenhouse. Ada is able to let her guard down around him and lets him know of her worries about running a dynasty, he offers her what advice he can and slowly eases her mind.
Autonomy is killing me c'mon girl not yet 😭
After a few hours of talking, it was time for Orson to leave so Adalynn walked him out but before he left Orson made sure to let his intentions known to Ada and asks if he could court her to which she accepts.
Lord Scheff came to visit Adalynn this morning and as they got to know each other better, Ada discovered her and him have a lot in common. Adalynn was also quite pleased to see he is extremely handsome without his mask.
