The bride was all done and only waiting for her so called groomto come and marry her, she realised that it will be the first time to see him again after several years. They last met at the late Queen's funeral, she could still clearly remembered how hurt he was, her eyes became moisty whenever she looked at him, it was more like her seeing him cause he was post in his own daze and paid to attention to anyone around him. She recalled the next day after funeral when she went to bid him a farewell he pulled her in his arms and hugged her tightly sobbing on her neck.
Audrey raised her hand touching her neck reminiscing when his head laid there crying.
"What are you doing Rey?" she snapped herself back to reality and shook her head, what was she thinking?. How could she possibly remember about him now and that's too touching her neck! "Are you nuts! get a hold of yourself Rey he has someone already!" she scolded herself not to hope for anything in this tangled up relationship that she was going to begin. Her one sided affections for him were long buried so why now?.
If you chose to be his wife and Queen despite knowing about his heart then you have to brace yourself Audrey! Prepare for the worst! I'm doing it for my Kingdom. She kept patting herself repeating the words so as to motivate herself but her thoughts were still in the dark side, whenever she thought of how she would feel to witness her husband with someone else her heart clench.
She sighed deeply leaning on the railings of the window, suddenly her eyes blinked, she rubbed them not able to believe what she was seeing "Is that a bat? no way! .... a big bat?" she questioned her sanity cause she doubted being sane at the moment, she have never seen such huge bat before, her eyes widened again "Woah! woah! woah! it's flying away!" She yelled and covered her mouth a moment later feeling embarrassed to hear herself yelling, how would people think about her out there, from what she remembers ....Xara told her on her etiquette of a lady ....'A lady's voice is a very precious thing, it is supposed to be low, gentle,tender and sweet as honey and not just bark! never scream recklessly my Princess' she shook her head thinking it to be the most crazy thing she heard from Xara, "Yeah ..yeah I might as well become a bee since my voice has to be as sweet as honey" she rolled her eyes and sighed again for nth time now, she was very nervous.
Shortly a knocking sound came outside her door, "Come on in" she said in a soft tone, Xara walked in beaming with happiness, 'Eh! talking about the devil and here she is....' she thought "The King of Ximpton is already here my princess, I came to get you" she said tears simmering on jer eyes, she looked after her since she was a toddler, she was told to pick another personal maid since Xara was getting old and she couldn't do much work but she stubbornly denied her parents plea, she said Xara would be her maid until death do them apart. Seeing that stubborn child she raised is finally going to get married today...her heart was swirling with emotions.
Audrey hugged her tightly "Now .. now Xara .... are you jealous of how beautiful I am or what for you to make me cry on purpose" she said teasingly holding in her tears.
Xara pulled away and wiped her tears quickly, zbe doesn't wanna be the reason forever good look to get ruined tonight. "Oh I will miss you so much old woman, my priceless gem" she held onto her hands, parting with her was the most painful part, she was more closer to Xara than her own mother. Xara quickly switched to her duty self, Audrey chuckled "We should go now my princess, by the way you look stunning my baby" she tiptoed and kissed her forehead making the both of them giggle as they exited the room, making their way tonthe royal Chapel where everybody was already present.
Jer wedding wedding was nothing dhe ever drama of while growing up, an arranged marriage, with someone who isn't
her choice, the wedding to.be hel at night only few important people, while her heart wanted an extraordinary wedding at least half of the Kingdom to witness if not the whole kingdom.
She could see the view of ghe royal Chapel getting nearer, and for a while she thought she was fine but now that she could seethe doors that were decorated by her favourite flowers lavender, her heart started to thud, her warm body started to feel cold almost of a sudden, she bitten her lips and clenched on her white long sleeves dress ... that was embroided with silver stones starting from her chest until to the higher of her waist,revealing her cleavage slightly, and the below of the dress was rounded its stones too. Her hairs was devided into two ,the front section held into a high bun while the back section left cascading behind jer back till to her waist, she had a silver tiara under her veil.
"Her highness yhe Princess of Dillonia has arrived!" yelled an announcer making her even more nervous as reality hit her face, she blinked several times "It's going to be okay! it's going to be okay! what if it doesn't? Aaaaaargh!" she mumbled to herself.
Everybody inside the Chapel turned to the doors waiting for the long awaited person to enter, she took a deep breath as Xara adjusted her veil, she entered walking as much elegantly as she could, several gasps erupted in the Chapel echoing in her ears making her even more nervous.
"What now? do Iook ugly? why are they staring at me? It's your wedding you fool! Oh god please make it stop! Should I turn back and run? Mama!!!!" she screamed within her, her head was in a chaos .... doubting herself just by hearing gasps, her nervousness made her think negatively of almost everything.
Unbeknownst to her .... people were ogling at her natural and ethereal beauty, she is born beautiful but tonight was too much for everyone, they could see through her light veil .
She exhaled as her father held her hands to wall her down the aisle, she gripped on his hand, King Jeremy held in his laughter and just grinned widely instead "Calm down, you look beautiful my dear" He said pressing her hand , "I can't!" she said under her gripped teeth, she focused her eyes forward, she could see her mother at the front seats sming at them with tears, she smiled back even though she doubted if her mother could see it through, her eyes then darted to the alter , a tall figure with broad and wide back, black hairs combed back and tied into a low tail, his wore a black Royal attire with golden embroideries, her breath hitched as she was only few steps left to him, her father let go of her after kissing her forehead, she climbed three stairs and was now finally standing beside him.
Yhe moment he turned to face her .... her heartbeats stopped, she blinked in a slow motion, his blank ink eyes with long lashes.... she still remember them, his a little pointy nose, pink fuller lips and curved jawlines .... How could somebody be this much gorgeous ?.....
"My princess?" she was brought back to her sense by the priest's voice, she lowered eyes feeling embarrassed by her own stupidity, how could she ogle at him now? Control Audrey! Control! she scolded herself and cleared her throat "Yes ...." she inquired for him to repeat himself since she never even heard him .... "I asked you if you accept to take his Majesty Levyndrion as your lawfully husband?" the Oldman repeated with a smile, Audrey gulped down and looked at the man beside him "Yes .... I do" she bitten her lips and looked away so as to hear Levyndrion take his own vows too but to her surprise something else happened, the priest looked at the people and announced "Ladies and gentlemens .... I present to you a husband and wife, the King and Queen of Ximpton!" he said loud enough for everyone to hear and shook her mind "Huh! already?" she mumbled to herself, she didn't know that while she was spacing out at thus man's beauty he already took his vows! "Damn it!" she bitten her lips on dismay her whole life! for heaven sake her whole life she waited for this moment but that's too slipped before her very own eyes! she pouted her eyes stinging ... thinking the heaven have been cruel on her lately, nothing goes as she wants.
The crowd cheered for them, "Now you may kiss the bride your Majesty" she heard the Oldman saying to the wall like groom standing before her, she swallowed 'Is he really going to do it? Oh no! he ...' her heartbeats went haywire seeing him moving to her by taking a step forward, Levy lifted her veil and blinked staring at her for a while, 'So that stubborn girl became such a beautiful young lady at last' he said in his mind, Audrey held onto her dress tightly as the up and down of her chest increases, staring back at his black eyes, they were beautiful but she could see the darkness that was lurking in them, the funniest part was that the depth of his eyes were drawing her to him regardless of the danger signs.
Levyndrion held her chin and kissed at the side of her lips, his lips lingering there a bit longer, her body tensed, it wasn't even fully on her lips but his cold lips sent volts to her veins, her eyes enlarged and she lowered them quickly before enough could see her, he pulled away and looked at the people before them with a blank face, people cheered at them, but Audrey was long-lost in her own world already, there were people down there but she sees them as pots of flowers at the garden. On the other hand Levy was like a wall with no emotion on his face.
Her parents hugged each other in tears, their precious daughter has finally gotten married to their son .... Levyndrion.
