1 Chapter 2 Wedding day

When I entered the room the guest stood up watching me. I felt nervous and walked carefully towards the front.

Slowly, my eyes met the king's sea rover blue eyes, they were bright and spellbinding, they bewitched all those who fell under his steady gaze. He was breathtaking. His black hair was combed backwards. He had bristly eyebrows and carried an imperious nose and his angular cheekbone carved down towards a flinty jaw. He was very tall and also well built.

I reached the front of the room and stood in front of the king. I could feel my heart beating fast.

All the guest sat down and the priest who was there to perform the ceremony began, "We are all gathered today to share in this important moment in the lives of the bride and groom. I ask you all to join together in celebrating, acknowledging and honouring this day and the vows they will be making."

I could feel the king's eyes on me and when I looked up and gazed into his blue eyes it was hard to look away.

"My king, do you take Evangeline Ace to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked.

"I do," he replied and the priest turned to me.

"My lady, do you take king Teivel Morningstar to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

This was the worst day of my life, I didn't want to marry the king but I had no other choice.

"My lady, do you take king Teivel Morningstar to be your lawfully wedded husband?" he reapeted the question when he didn't receive an answer.

"I..I do."

The priest held the rings and said, "May these rings become the symbol of their endless love and remind them of the holy convenant they have entered into today, to be faithful and loving always. Amen."

"Repeat after me, my Lord."

"I king Teivel Morningstar give you this ring as a symbol of my everlasting love for you. I promise to support you, care for you and stand alongside you all your days." The king said and placed the ring on my finger.

The priest turned to me and I repeated the words and placed the ring on the king's finger.

"You may now kiss the bride."

He leaned forward and pressed his lips on mine. It was soft and gentle.

A great cheer went up from the crowd and they all bowed down before the king and his new queen.

The king had a first wife, she was hostile towards me because I was getting married to king. I knew she would make my life difficult.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year everyone🎄☃️
