Kings and Queens/Wilbert III

Wilbert

R ain was quite common in the Eastern Lands, so Wilbert was not surprised when it began raining a few hours into their journey. Altogether, a total of seventy-five Cunningham men, alongside eight Messer men were accompanying the new Lord and Lady Cunningham of Clanton Gardens to their new home. Wilbert was sitting in a carriage with Ralph, Jace, Hannelore and his wife, Esmeralda. Every few minutes, Hannelore would point to something outside the window, Esmeralda would smile and nod, and continue her blank glance down at the floor. It was clear that the handmaiden had not been out of the North before. He would have said something, but he knew the excitement was an excellent feeling to have. He was worried for Esmeralda, however. She threw up for the first two days of their journey, and refused to see anyone apart from Hannelore and Wood, her own personal guard. However, it was the final day, and she seemed to have became less sicker, but still kept to herself. Wilbert suspected that she would have preferred Wood in the carriage with her, but knew that, as a Lady, she needed a handmaiden by her side.
