"Master, m'lady is getting to marriageable age and her and Estridsen's young master seem to like each other.
I even heard him proposing his loyalty to her!" Nina smiled.

"Yes, I do suppose Aisha is getting to that age.
I already know that James Estridsen and his kid are going to bring it up..
Speaking of that, did the kids get called?" Bill asked.

"Yes, sir.
I believe the young miss is getting ready." Nina replied.

Aisha's Point Of View

"Jack, help me find something to wear." I sighed.

"Do you really have to dress up just for dinner?" Jack asked.

"Yes, I do have to dress up.
This is one of the ways that I win my father's favor.
Now help me pick something nice." I replied.

Jack wandered over to my dark oak closet and opened it, his eyes aimlessly wandered through the clothing.

"How about this? The dress I got you that you haven't worn in front of me yet, m'lady." Jack grinned as he held up a dress.

A dark blue and black velvet dress.

"Speaking of that, why don't you ever wear it?" Jack asked.

"Because I don't have a corset for it and women need them. And Nina told me that women need them so they can show the only necessary curves for a man to see."
I sighed.

"My woman doesn't need a corset.
I had this tailored so you don't need one.
Those corsets are bad for you and plus, you're already small and you're not broad either."
Jack hugged me.

"JACK! WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!
YOU ARE SO WEIRD!" I screamed.

"Aisha, I am just saying! I love all of you! I will always love you! No matter if you do or do not have hair, no matter if you do or do not have a broad frame, even if you were mute, I would still love you." Jack smiled.

"What if I was a commoner, would you still love me?" I asked.

"Of course I would still love you! Even if you were a commoner, and even if I had to lose my noble title to marry you, I would!
Because you're the only lady for me, Aisha!" Jack smiled.

"Okay, then you need to get out so I can get changed.
I'll call Nina to help me." I smiled.

"No, wait! I can help you!" Jack quickly replied.

"Jack... You are a guy." I huffed.

"And you are my fiancée, so what's the difference?" He smiled.

"You're not gonna give up are you?"
I asked.

"I will never give up!" Jack smiled.

"Fine.
Do you know how to tie the dress?" I asked.

"Yes, I know how to tie the dress.
I have two girl cousins.
I've been doing this for years, m'lady." Jack grinned.

"Okay, fine.
You win.
Turn around for a minute." It was better to let Jack do it. I trust him. I know he is a good person.

I got undressed and slipped into the blue velvet dress.
I turned around and looked in the mirror, and what I saw was unbelievable. The dress had fit me perfectly.
I turned back around.
