Marriages are not a thing for love. They are a binding contract your parents make when you are a child and you will have no say in them. You are left to hope they bargained well. When Delaney Simms was born she was a beautiful baby everyone was sure would grow up to be as beautiful as her mother. So when Lord and Lady Adair approached the new parents to arrange a marriage for their handsome eldest son they were quick to accept. They had money but no title. The Adairs had titles and estates but they were falling into disarray due to lack of funds. It was the perfect arrangement. The children grew up and the fortunes of their families reversed. While the Adairs grew more and more wealthy, Delaney's parents passed away and she lost everything and had to live with her Aunt and Uncle.

That was until word came that her handsome future husband had been sent to defend the kingdom against a dragon and had returned scarred and angry. Unable to escape her contract, Delaney was forced to marry the man who was now more of a monster. But could she ever learn to love him? Once they are married she learns there is much more to her scarred husband than meets the eye and she is soon swept into a life of witches, fairies, unicorns, pirates, and more. Delaney has made it clear she will never love her husband and he knows that. He makes a deal with her so they won't have to stay married forever.

Royal Guard Attack

 Delaney and Ilona went to the dressmaker together, with Ms. Bird along to help if needed. Ilona stood and let herself be pinned, poked, and prodded as the women at the shop got all her measurements and worked to find the perfect dress shape for her. They had been shocked when she had first walked into the building in her strange clothes. Seeing she was with the Duchess of Edgewood however they had been wise enough to say nothing.

 All types and colors of cloth were brought out for them to inspect and Delaney closely examined each one to make her selections. Ilona looked at them too but she didn't have an eye for that type of thing like the duchess did. She rejected a few because she felt they were too extravagant and Delaney smirked but didn't protest.
