Swap you !!

During the voyage Miriella the younger of the sisters and Aldun Hamdun started a secret romance, but as is often the case on a very small ship everyone including Mirrella’s older brother Drysten knew about.

 

 

 

They had barely settled in their new home when Aldun invited the Beaumonts to dinner and requested Drystens blessing and permission to marry Miriella.  As they talked Miriella could barely contain her nerves, back home the Hamduns where considered second class would her brother allow her to marry one. Much to her surprise Drysten agreed on one condition, that in turn he be allowed to be first to court Alduns own sister Avril, and that should she find him agreeable they too be allowed to wed.

    

This was not perfect solution for Drysten but as Avril was the only single noble woman available he hoped the matching would prove neither of them too much discomfort. Avril was horrified when she found out what Aldun had agreed and at first refused however Drysten had certain charms and eventually won her over. A few short months later saw quite a celebration  in Grimstead as a double wedding was held followed by the news that babes where on the way in both households.
