[ All of this is a quite foreign engagement for Sidony, and she lets her eyes search Adrasteia's face before she breathes out and shakes her head.

Byerly married me to ensure that my family did not kidnap me back to Nevarra. They wanted to take me back and wed me to someone or another, so he married me first to make sure that it didn't happen. We're more akin to siblings than we are anything else.
