IMAGINE…BEING THE WHITEHILL ASHER FORRESTER FELL IN LOVE WITH
“Father/Lord Forrester please!” two voices, one male and one female, rang out through the hall of Ironrath “My Lord! Let us explain!” The second trueborn son to Lord Gregor Forrester pleaded as he grabbed your hand, pulling you from the grasp of his father, and to his chest.
“Asher...” Lord Gregor began to say, only to be interrupted by his son, “Father, please! I love her! She’s the only thing I have ever truly wanted!” The rage rolling off of Asher only made his words, his pleads, fiercer and more demanding, “Why should we be hindered because of some.....age-long war between our houses! Would this not help to...to bridge the gap - heal it! - between our Houses?!”
“That is not the point! There are ways of doing things, Asher! Ways you have always failed to take note of!” Lord Gregor growled back, he wasn’t normally so harsh with his children, but his second born with his Lady Wife...he was...Asher was fierce, loyal, brave, but also recklessly stupid....he always thought with his heart, which wasnt always a bad thing, but in this situation....this fragile situation....
“I DONT CARE, FATHER! I LOVE Y/N AND I WILL HAVE HER AS MY WIFE!”
The hall fell silent, you looked at Asher with wide eyes. The two of you had never spoke of your feelings for each other, and while you were head over heels for him, you had never dreamt he would feel the same way.
The Lord of Ironrath looked from his son, to you, to his Castellan Duncan, and then down at the floor - sighing heavily.
“Father-” Asher began to say
“Silence, Asher, I...I need to think.” Lord Gregor whispered, shaking his head, ‘Go....go down to the hall.....lunch is being served as we speak...I...I will come find the two of you when I am...when I have my thoughts in order...” His son was rash...and while Lord Forrester did what was best for his house, could he truly ruin his wild son’s chance at love? For what? Ironrath’s pride? HighPoint’s greed?
