It was a cold and windy night as Analise made her way out the door. She was in a hurry and she had to go meet her husband-to-be chosen by her parents. She was not looking forward to this meeting from all she heard about him; he was a recluse, shunned by society. The rumors about him were many, going from how he wasn't human to how he was severely deformed. No one knew why he chose to be secluded; he never went to any of the social gatherings nor made any appearances at the palace. He never used his name either. Apparently according to rumor the only person who knew his name was the king. No one had ever even seen his family so why am I the one who has to marry him. Of course I have to choose this was set up by the king himself. Apparently this is how their house always dealt with matters such as these and no one is required to stay after they produce an heir but good luck getting married afterwards. As Analise finally arrived at the manor of this mysterious noble she noticed that there were no staff around. It was so quiet that it hurt your ears. As she slowly made her way up the steps she at least expected to be announced or at least greeted by her future husband. But no such luck, as she opened the door slowly it heavily squealed followed by the thumping of her heart the manor looked as if no one lived there there were cobwebs everywhere but there were these strange lights they fluttered just as dust motes would but with the light strength of a firefly. "There's a place to start," she thought. As she followed the lights along the corridor she noticed the building changing. Almost as if it wasn't the same building anymore. The walls went from being wood molded to a mossy stone then the hall dead ended. She looked to the lights for guidance and saw a bunch huddled up in a sconce she went to touch them out of wonderment. They scattered and formed a line then formed the infinity sign around the sconce. She decided to pull on it to see if it's like the books she read. "What could it hurt honestly" she thought to herself. As she pulled down on it a door suddenly opened up underneath her she tried to grab on for dear life with no luck. She went down the hole that turned into a slide. She had no idea how long she had been going down but she finally reached the bottom. As she got dropped on her ass she noticed someone waiting outside the little cage she found herself in. She was an older lady but yet she looked young she couldn't put her finger on why she looked to be in her 40s but the energy about her made her seem like a young girl in her teens. "Welcome deary" said the old lady "we have waited quite a long time for you to arrive" she said Analise stared in amazement." How long have you been waiting? I just got word of the arrangement just yesterday and arrived today. And with almost no information at that" the old lady slightly smiled and shook her head. "We have been waiting much longer than that my dear. You could say it feels like an eternity since my master has started his search for his bride. In all honesty you are the only one to make it to this part of the manor, most just look at the dust and turn around getting lost in the woods because they did not want to wait for the day to catch the day car." Analise stared in amazement as she had always wondered what happened to the girls that were sent before her. There were never any reports that they were missing. All the others just assumed they had lovey and did not wish to be torn apart and ran away." Do you know what happened to those girls by chance" Analise asked the old woman. "No deary sadly I don't. The woods are awfully dangerous at night even if the wolves stay away; it's only safe during the day." Analise decided the small talk was enough for the day. "Excuse me ma'am but may I leave this strange cage. I've had quite a long day and I'm extremely tired. Would there be a room I can use for tonight to retire and meet the master of this place tomorrow, and possibly get a bite to eat I haven't eaten since dawn." The old woman pondered for a moment. Then she said " Oh yes dear it completely slipped my mind I had a lovely room prepared for you today just in case you stuck around let me just grab the keys and get you out of that dusty mess. We also have some clothes prepared for you. It may be a bit large though because we didn't know your size but we can have Taylor fix it for you in the morning if you like." "That's awfully kind of you " Analise said to which the old lady stated "just call me Astrid my lady. And it's not a problem at all. The Lord wanted to make sure everything was prepared for you to our best ability." Astrid said and she finished unlocking the door. She motioned for Analise to follow. As they went through the corridors they got cleaner and nicer and finally they arrived at the specified room. " Here you go deary" stated Astrid. "There is a bathroom attached to the room with running water and anything you may need just make yourself cozy and I'll be along with a light supper for you before you go to bed." "Thank you," said Analise. As Astrid went off to take care of supper Analise went and started up a bath and started to undress. She took off her corset which had been killing her all day. Then started taking off all the undercoats and undergarments. Honestly she hated the clothes the nobles had to wear all the time she felt suffocated. She was curvier than a lot of the lady's because she had an ample ass that curved perfectly with wide hips and large breasts that popped out her dress whenever she wore her corset. She goes and sits down into the brass tub turning off the water. She added some oil she found near the tub which smelled of sandalwood for some reason the scent started to make her feel sleepy she decided to close her eyes for a moment to relax but she ended up falling asleep
