Of course he would put them back as soon as the night was over (he liked watching the ex-knight struggle and squirm), but while she was interacting with other people, they were quite inconvenient. Annabella swayed, and Belboz grabbed her elbow to steady her. She blinked down at his hand, and then up at him, and smiled vaguely. "I'm sorry, dear, I just... got dizzy." "Indeed," said Belboz. "From being up so high, I reckon." She giggled. "Yes. I haven't really worn heels in a few years. " To make sure, Belboz pressed, "The last time you remember being...?" "Hmm..." She thought hard. "I suppose it would have been my sister Elalinda's wedding. What a fun day that was! I didn't have a date to that one. I wish I'd met you earlier! But we will have many years together." "Indeed," he said, smiling. "Prepare yourself." And he spirited them away to the castle of Allaria. The banquet was a grand affair, with many people dancing in the open area between long tables. Annabella drew a great deal of attention for her huge dress, and then kept that attention for her unparalleled beauty. She blushed, and stuck close to Belboz, whispering, "Don't leave me, darling. I don't know anyone else here." "Oh, they won't bite," he replied. "I have important business to attend to, so you'll have to do some mingling. Go ahead and dance with someone. You have my permission. But don't tell anyone you're my wife." And he left her. A young man approached her at once, and said, "My lady, may I have this dance?" She was unfailingly obedient to her husband, so she said, "I'd be delighted, sir." As they began to dance, he said, "I'm Lord Artrius Isrigna of Woodwall." "Annabella Montez of Seasfari," she replied, using her maiden name.
