Prologue
"And they shall be married"
The old woman smiled, picking up a slender silver pen, to sign her name to the worn scroll spread out on the table before her. She sat the pen down and delicately turned the scroll to the old man sitting across the table. He too picked up the pen and signed his name. He then rolled the scroll and placed it in his bag.
"You know there could be some problems" he smiled. She returned his smile and spoke after taking a sip of her tea.
"Yes I know but the two households must unite"
The old man shakily got up and extended his hand. Around his wrist was a brilliant silver bracelet which carried a small blue charm with the letter C. The old woman followed his action and placed her small fragile hand in his. She too wore a silver bracelet, hers with a small green charm with the letter S.
"I look forward to seeing how this works out" she said with a slight chuckle. The old man dropped his hand from hers and took hold of the cane adjacent to his chair.
"So it's set" he spoke. "They shall be married at the start of their 18th birthdays." The old woman frowned.
"Why so soon?"
"My dearest Marie, 18 is the age of love" he sang. "It is also two years before young master must take the crown. Fork's Law states that the oldest son first in line to receive the crown must be married."
The old woman laughed. "I guess the sooner the better."
"Exactly" he smiled.
