As she approached, he reached out for her hand, kissing it before using it to guide her to his side.

“Bella, I would like you to meet a dear friend of mine, Garrett, Earl of Nottingham and son to my father’s most trusted advisor. Garrett, this is my wife, Princess Isabella, formerly of Spain.” Edward eyes twinkled as he looked down at his literally blushing bride as Garrett looked at Edward in envy.

Garrett extended a hand in which Bella placed her small one politely, blushing deeper as he bowed deeply before her, brushing his lips across the back of her hand before he rose once more. “Your Highness, it is an honor to meet my future Queen and wife of my most beloved Prince.”

Edward couldn’t help but feel a twinge of annoyance as Garrett’s lips brushed his wife’s hand, but he knew he must quickly get past that, as it was a common form of greeting throughout the whole of Europe. Instead, he reached out to claim his wife’s hand from his friend’s grasp turning her to face him with a smile.

“Garrett has just made us a most generous offer, my love. Since we have arrived early and were not allowed the relaxing honeymoon we had hoped for, he has offered for us to stay at his father’s estate in Kensington, known as Nottingham House. He said it is currently ready for visitors, but is working with a skeleton crew. There are just enough people around to keep us comfortable, and yet still provide us some privacy for a few days. Since they weren’t expecting us for a few more days at Whitehall, and the official welcoming parade is in place for three days time, I decided that it would be prudent to take him up on his offer so I can officially announce you to your new country. Does this sound amenable to you, my love?”

Bella beamed at Edward as she tipped up on her toes to kiss his jaw. “That sounds perfect. The boat was nice, but I would much like to spend a few days out enjoying the weather before it turns too cold and we are locked away in the English Court.”

“Speaking of Sue,” Carlisle said from the far end of the table. “She’s made a suggestion that we all think you should take under advisement. Her daughter’s boyfriend, Sam, has worked in the past as a security guard. He has some guy friends that have worked with him that she thinks we should look into hiring them to keep you safe. She says there are five of them, so they could rotate shifts and keep an eye on the place for you 24/7. Sam has been out of work for a while and could really use the money, and none of us like the idea of you and Sue being alone here anymore. What do you think?”
