The wedding festival was in full swing.
Isabelle was still feeling sick from the previous day.
She wasn't. Exactly. Certain.
If she'd risk any more delicious vendor food this day.
It smelled so good!
But her stomach.
Was tender.
And Lyov kept giving her exasperated looks.
Still, there were things she wanted to do. She couldn't just stay in her room, and there was a whole city to explore. There was the festival and her people and she was an Empress and it would be bad form for her to stay in bed during her own celebration.
Especially in the day time!
Which meant she was out in the streets, wandering and enjoying the sights and sounds and smells. She wasn't eating anything yet, not with her husbands giving her those looks, but it didn't matter.
There was plenty to do besides eat.
A reminder: Alexander is 23 to Isabelle's 26 and 5'9'' to her 5'7''.
He truly is just that good at making himself feel taller.
