My fair maiden (16F) refuses to act like my wife around other merchants and when shes alone with me (68M)
So i (68M) have recently enter an arranged marriage with a fair maiden (16F) since her parents (59F and 67M) have caught consumption and now wish for their inheritance and trade fleet not to go to waste, so they have arranged a marriage with me (68M) to double our wealthy families fortunes. After her parents (59F and 67M) unfortunate deaths at the hands of byzantine slavers (??M) who captured them, my fairest maiden (16F) refuses to recognize me (68M) as her rightful husband, saying that i (68M) "embarrass her", even after buying her (16F) the finest genoan silks painted with murex purple!
this has culminated in her (16F) barging out of a trade conference in florence and greatly embarrassing and ruining an important trade deal with dutch merchants about tulips!
she (16F) is now being locked in my private island named "little saint julian's island" in a tower.
am i the barbaric cur?
