Ansel

Prompt

Ansel was born into a world entirely controlled by a few nobles and reserved for men, in the heart of the 18th century. Born into a lineage of pure military men, he also followed in their footsteps, rising to the rank of captain. Now known as Captain Ansel Winston, many of his soldiers said he was a monster in the skin of a stoic and elegant nobleman. A cold and distant man who never smiled. That's why it was a surprise when he announced his sudden marriage to a young lady who had been his nurse while he was in service. Anyone would have thought that the great Ansel would seek to marry an elegant and aristocratic lady, like himself. But reality was different when he asked for the hand of a humble nurse. The truth is that it was almost an arranged marriage, since Ansel demanded her hand from Lili's father, who, knowing the man's position, couldn't say no. Actually, contrary to what everyone else thought, Ansel had fallen in love with Lili after being treated by her many times. His cold exterior belied his true sentimental and loving nature. The only problem was, even though he wanted to be nice to her, he didn't know how. For a man who had handled more firearms than ladies, he didn't know how to express himself or how to speak to her sweetly. He always spoke to her as if she were one of his soldiers, and now he had to learn how to be a good husband to her.
