Edward's Pov

I spoke to Earl of Devon, Lord Charlie letting him know, I be taking Lady Isabella to sit beside me at church today. He seemed to want to argue with me, but he choice otherwise. Which was a wise choice for him to not argue with me.

I stood at the door of the church watching as people of court make their way into the church and to their seats. As I did so I noticed how Lord Charlie and Lady Ranee lead the way with Lord Emmett and his soon wife Lady Rosalie walk behind them with Lady Isabella walking behind them. She seems to be walking with her head down. She doesn't seem happy, she seems so unhappy.

"Not like you to stand here while everyone enter." I turned to see who spoke and nodded my head in respect to my aunt Duchess Esme and her husband. I knew Duke Carlisle decide to retire soon, and let his soon Lord Jasper take over in the next month or so. We spoke of doing some kind of ceremony for that. They nodded back and headed to their own sets.

Finally at last she looked up as they made it to the door, she looked up to make sure she doesn't trip but she didn't see me yet, sadly. Though she tried to not trip she ended up tripping any how. Her hands went out to catch her fall, it seemed her face would hit the hard floor of the door way of the church but luckily my hands went out and around her waist to keep her from falling.

"I got you," I whisper gently, her face seemed confused on why she didn't hit the hard floor, but her face flashed up to met mine when I spoke. Her checks blushed a lovely pink color. Once I was sure she was steady on her feet once more I let her go.

"Thank you, my king," she whispered back. There was some people behind her waiting to get into the church of course they saw the interaction, which made her blush more when she realized there was people still behind her. She turned to make her way to her parents sets, I took it as Lord Charlie didn't tell her the change of her set today. Which made me glare at him.

I stepped behind her, "Not today my Lady. You be sitting with me during Mass today." I told her gently. I told Lord Charlie I was taking his daughter just so she had a heads up, as I remembered she didn't like surprises and I figured today didn't need to be a surprise. I be sure to tell Lord Emmett, or her sister Lady Alice next time.

I lead her to our set, I sent one final glare to Lord Charlie, thankfully Lady Isabella must not have noticed my glare I sent to her father. She was busy watching where her feet went so she didn't trip again, I made sure I lead her to our set in a way that she would be less likely to trip over.

I let her take her seat first before I took mine beside her. I saw her turn to face the minster I follow soon after. He turns to me to be sure I am ready for mass to began and I simple nod my head yes for him to began mass.

"Good Morning! Welcome to our Sunday Morning Mass. We are here to honor god!" The Priest started.

We all nodded and said good morning in return.

He went on with mass, speaking of how to honor god. "...The sins! Children in wedlock is a Sin! ….."He kept going on what is a sin with many more things. We say amen after each sin he spoke of, as if asking anyone in those sin would ask for forgiveness.

He went on and on with his speech. After a while I have noticed some people stop listening, one I knew has stopped listening was Lord Charlie. I'm not shocked as he tends to not pay much annotation on it. I have caught him eyeing one woman or another at one point or another. As he tends to watch his mistress or future mistress while in church instead of focusing on preacher. He doesn't hid his mistress very well, most men don't display it so well noticed if you look in a church.

I turned to Lady Isabella, and noticed that she is focusing very hard on the minster, and listening taking in every word he speaks. She caught me looking as she turned to me, and I saw her checks flush again, a second time today. It made me smile. She turned back to the minster quickly, which made me hold back a chuckle, which was hard to do, I turn to face him as well.

It seem to take forever today for this mass to end. Normally it doesn't bother me with how long mass goes. But for some reason today seems to be taking twice as long as normal. Like the Minster had wanted to take his time with it, and make it drag out.

"...Amen! Until next Sunday Mass!" the minster said, as he closed his book, we all said Amen in return we got to our feet and started to make our way out of church. I stood to the side so she could go first, from our sets, fell into step behind her, and then beside her once there was room for that. I lead her out of church and to where we be having our afternoon meal after church.

I lead her to my family table, while her family went to their table and close group. I pulled her chair out for her to take her set, which she took, then I went to mine beside her. I nodded as Duke Carlisle and soon be Duke Jasper do the same pulling their wives sets first then their own. I turned to her family as well as Lady Isabella did.

She noticed how her brother Lord Emmett pull Rose's set out then his, but saw their father Lord Charlie sit in his while his wife was left to pull her own chair out. She closed her eyes, I wasn't sure what was going on in her head, I was going to ask when Duke Carlisle got my focus.

"I was thinking, have some music, and dance after the ceremony, but have it for Duke Jasper and Duchess Alice, as they are the new Duke and Duchess." Duke Carlisle spoke. I noticed his son wanted to pro-test but didn't bother, I took they had a talk over this already and Duke Carlisle has won out of course.

I did look to see if Lady Isabella was shocked by this, but she wasn't nor was Lady Alice, which means the sisters must have had a chat about this, which I am not amazed by at all.

"I believe we could do something like that. What do you think Lady Isabella?" I asked, she did seem amazed that I asked for her input. But she quickly recovered, "That sounds lovely my King," she whispered with shyness showing in her voice.

The Shyness in her voice, shows that she isn't used to being allowed to speak her thought on this. I did notice on the corner of my eye Lady Alice give a nod of encouragement to her sister which I was thankful for. With that Lady Isabella seem to calm a little but was still nervous over her sharing her thought I have noticed.

I am not totally amazed by as many men don't let their women speak unless they are spoke to, even then they are not allowed to share their true thoughts on the matter. They are meant to just agree with their husband or father. It seems that is how Lord Charlie has raised his daughters. It took Lord Jasper many months to break Lady Alice from it, it seem it take more time to break Lady Isabella, as from what I heard Lady Alice always spoke her mind when she shouldn't always got punished more then Lady Isabella did.

There you guys go!
