Terrifying… Well Not So Terrifying In-Laws

Zayn groaned into his hands. "I hate this. I hate everything about this."

Celestia beamed, pulling him up from his chair. "Come, my love!!"

Zayn dragged his feet as he followed her, mentally preparing himself for what was sure to be the worst dinner of his life.

Zayn sat rigidly in a chair, trying his best not to look like a man about to meet his doom.

Across from him sat two of the most powerful-looking people he had ever seen.

On his right was Duke Reinhart Velstara, a broad-shouldered man with graying hair and a presence so suffocating it felt like gravity itself was bending under his authority. 

His deep blue eyes, sharp like a hawk's, were currently boring into Zayn's soul.

On his left sat Lady Eleanor Velstara, a regal woman whose beauty had clearly been passed down to Celestia. 

However, unlike her daughter's playful mischief, Lady Eleanor radiated an aura of terrifying composure and SHE HAD BOOBS.
