A chilly morning awoke Audrey. Her mother Asoka was shaking her gently. "Audrey" she said.

"Audrey dear, wake up." Her mother was growing impatient.

"Hm?" The young girl asked, opening her eyes, seeing her mother already dressed and done up for the day.

"Hurry and get ready. Your father needs to speak to you" she said "Don't you go back to sleep or I'll come back here with water to throw on your head" her mother said standing up. Asoka walked out of her daughter's room and left.

Audrey, or Rey better know fo her ladies, was not a morning person. Often when the whole estate was asleep she would be drawing by the candle light, reading books a woman of her station should not read.

She was what her mother would call a "dilly-dally" never focusing on the grand task at hand, taking her time to see the smaller details.

Her mother and her butted heads often. Almost daily, but Maz, her nurse, had told her many times it's only because they're so similar which Rey did not believe so.

Maz entered her room and helped her get dressed. Her slip on then her corset, a torture device her mother had mad her start wearing when she was 16 and "prime bridal age".

Rey still didn't understand why her parents hadn't married her off. All her close friends had been married off and lived at the Alderaan Estate further away.

Rose, Rey's very best friend, was married to Finn Tico, one of the right hand men to the Duke.

Poe Dameron, another close friend of the Duke's was married to Jessika, another close friend of Rey's.

Whilst Gwendoline Hux was married to another man of the Duke's inner circle Armitage Hux.

She missed them all, they all wrote too. Speaking of their lives, what the grand Alderaan Estate was like.

They spoke of grand staircases, a large ballroom, dining halls for hundreds. So many beautiful gardens.

Maz was braiding her hair. The front all coming together in the back, then the rest being tied off with a ribbon.

As tradition her hair was never cut, showing her virtue and her Station. Her hair was much longer than other Womens. It went down to past her belly button.

She dressed in simple clothing, a grey skirt with a handful of petticoats underneath to keep her warm, a long purple top to her wrists. Her mother would have wanted her in heels but Rey choose simple flats.

She came out of her room and met her mother and father in the dinning room. There was less and less staff as the years had gone by.

"Good morning Father" she said kissing his cheek.

Wedge Antilles Morningstar was a well to due Viscount. His wife and he only had one daughter, whom he loved dearly.

"Good morning Lamb" he said.

"Audrey dear sit down" her mother instructed and she sat down across from her parents.

They where holding hands, which they often did when they had difficult news.

Like when her horse had died, or when they were snowed in for Christmas and couldn't go to the Winter home.

"What's going on?" She asked nervously, her leg was shaking in anticipation.

"We've been struggling lately with money, the lands haven't seen as much sun as usual" her mother said.

"What does that mean?" Rey asked.

"For years we've been holding off your marriage, to get the funds together for your dowry." Her father explained "but we can't, we don't have money to keep the household and pay for your dowry"

That was it. She was to be sent to a nunnery she thought, to be an old woman who cared for the words of the lord and the sick.

"But" her father said, interrupting her thoughts. "Earl Skywalker has heard of you, sent his portrait to his sister and nephew."

Earl Luke Skywalker was the brother of the queen, Leia Organa Solo Skywalker. She was loved by her people and very smart in terms of keeping the reach thriving.

"Oh" Rey didn't know what else to say.

"The queen thinks you'd be a wonderful fit for her son. And has offered not just to pay for your dowry, but to quadruple it and pay it back to us. And for every child you have we get another payment of dowry." Her mother said.

"We would need just one child and we'd be able to be back to how things used to be. We could hire back all the staff" her father explained.

"Love" her mother said "we need you to accept. Please" She slid a piece of paper to her daughter that read the following:

"The Viscount and Viscountess of Antilles have agreed to the payment of quadruple the dowry intend of a lady of her station and one payment of dowry for each child the bride shall bear in marrying Duke Benjamin Skywalker Solo in a weeks time at the Alderaan Estate"

Both her parents had signed, along with the queen and duke. All was needed was her signature and it would be sent back immediately.

She debated, was she really an easy meal ticket. But then again she could save Antilles, and be with her friends, and Alderaan was much more lively then Antilles ever could be.

"I accept" she said and her father and mother smiled happily as she grabbed the pen.

Audrey Antilles Morningstar

It was official, her father put it in an envelope and called the rider at once to deliver it to the Alderaan Estate.

'Thank you' her father mouthed.

"Oh we have so much to do!" Her mother said standing up. "Maz needs to practice her wedding braid, she hasn't done it since I was married... oh and we need to get you fitted for a dress, and several warmer clothing items for the trip there. No doubt they'll get you a new wardrobe but Alderaan is almost as cold as Hoth in the winter months. Oh I must write letters to Lady Tico, Lady Dameron and Lady Hux, as their high stations and their husbands places in the Duke's court will surely have them at the top of being your ladies! Oh and you father and I must get garments made for the wedding, though we can only stay one night because you know how the rains get here this close to winter. Oh and Maz will need to pack your things !" Her mother went on and on as she grabbed her daughter's hand and dragged her off.
