[ WP ] As a daughter of nobility you always knew your marriage would be a matter of politics , but you never expected to be married off as to seal a peace agreement with the Dark Lord ...

The matter was never up for discussion. My marriage would be to whichever lord would give father what he wanted. And what father wanted was peace. So, it should n't have surprised me to hear I was to be married to someone everyone else feared. After all, what better ally is there if you just want to keep to yourself? 
 
 Still... Lord Barthos of the Infernal Pit was a bit of a shock. Pale grey skin laced with black veins, glowing white eyes and horns that could gore a dragon. He stood 11 feet tall and looked like he could tear me to shreds. 
 
 He was perfect.
