Rupert sank back in his cushiony chair as he warmed himself by the fireplace in his large estate. Sipping some evening tea, he thought about how April would make a lovely bride. She would never have to worry about money again. Her family would be well provided for, maybe. And he would have the family he always wanted.
"I have never had time to take a wife," he said to one of his servants. "It's just that I realized that I'm lonely for companionship. And April looked so beautiful the last time I saw her. She's always looked beautiful, I don't know much else about her besides the fact that she loves her family and she does a man's work. That will be remedied. And I really don't want to kick them off the land that they seem to work so hard for."
He paused for a moment to gesture the servant to stop pouring the tea into his cup. "So, if April marries me, I will not let her cousin pay me another penny." He sipped some more tea, shooing his servant away.

Axel shielded his eyes from the incoming snowflakes with his arm as the wind continued to howl. Looking up quickly, he saw a faint light in the distance. He immediately spurred his horse toward the light. As the light grew brighter, he brought his arm away from his eyes and his green irises widened as they beheld a large castle. Opening the gate in front of him, his steed slowly ambled in and halted.
Getting off the horse, Axel looked around. "Hello?" he called.
He climbed up the steps and opened the giant bronze doors. "Hello? Who is master of this castle?"
Axel peeked out of the window to see his horse walking toward one of the nearby stables. Closing the doors behind him, Axel continued to call out with only his echoes responding to him.
