Virginia'd Had Enough!
Wolf had gone too far this time

she was leaving ...

She had already stood up and had begun walking away from the table. Wolf quickly jumped from his seat and started to follow her. Wolf gave a glance back to Wendell but saw that the king was in deep conversation with another guest. Virginia disappeared out one of the hall's many exits and into the palace’s guest wing. Wolf followed her down into a hallway and saw that she was getting farther away.

“Virginia!” he cried out.

Virginia simply ignored him and continue on her way. Wolf hurried after her, catching her arm and turning her to face him.

“Virginia, I’m sorry,” Wolf apologised. “I didn’t expect Wendell to tell the entire kingdom before I told you. Besides, I only asked him if he could perform the service. I only wondered if he was interested. I thought that you wanted him to?”

“I never said anything about Wendell performing the ceremony. I never even talked about our wedding,” Virginia replied. “When were you going to tell me? Before the wedding, or after?”

“I wanted to tell you but I couldn’t find the right time,” Wolf said. “I thought you wanted us to get married?”

“I did, at least I thought I did. Now I’m not so sure.” Virginia said grabbing at her ring. “This damn thing won’t even come off.”

Wolf looked at her as she attempted to pry off the ring. It cried out in pain as she did so.

“Stop it Virginia, you’re hurting it!” Wolf said as he grabbed her arms and stopped her from continuing.

“Leave me alone!” Virginia cried as she pushed him away, “I ... I just want to be alone.”


Virginia has serious doubts about whether she really loves Wolf, and about how far Wolf has already manipulated her. When he has their wedding day announced even without her consent of marriage, she runs away into the snow in anger.
