"How was the wedding journey?"

"Awful."

"Why? Do you dislike your wife so much?"

"No. I don't dislike her at all."
"Then why was it awful?"

"Because she told me she loves me."

"That doesn't seem to make you happy."

"I don't love her, Papa. And I know I never will. She is nice enough, I grant you, and she is easy to talk to but that is it."

"I thought you found her beautiful."

"That too. But that isn't enough either."

"I'm sorry I forced you into this."

"I'll live. As soon as we've produced an heir, I can take my distance from her."
