2 Chapter 2 – A tetric wedding and the prologue of both

It was 2 weeks after the sentence and Yulio was standing on the altar of a simple church in the capital populated mostly by his relatives and some crown officials to monitor that the sentence is carried out, and of course, the beloved priest who I was wondering how it ended here.

Yulio was extremely nervous about the usual causes of any boyfriend about to enter a new life, while anxiously waiting for his future and almost unknown wife. And in this process, it was agreed what happened days ago when he arrived at his house in the south after the sentence to prepare for the wedding and announce his relatives.

It was a week before the wedding when Yulio opened the large doors of his house and found himself looking at him, his beloved parents, whose faces reflected only concern and some relief at the reunion that their son was still well.

"Father, Mother I have arrived, I, I regret my actions."

But the parents did not wait for him to finish speaking when they hugged him fiercely and lovingly, while the mother told him.

"Do not regret it, son, we already know the situation, a letter came to us explaining everything, you were very brave."

And the father continued

"yes yes, son, don't apologize for that, we are only concerned with where they will send you, but come on, let's go to the living room, there are things to talk about before that."

And followed by that comment, the 3 separated and went to the living room where they could talk about the events and experiences of both the parents and their siblings who were not currently in the mansion, as well as the student life of yulio and what happened that day, but they avoided talking about the destination where he would go after the wedding.

"But seriously son, who would say you did such an act in public, hahaha, you were always very shy, that lady must be very beautiful, ¿what was your beloved's name?"

The father commented happily, to appease his anguish, to his already embarrassed son who replied, blushing.

"Crystal, I already told you like 3 times father."

and supporting his son, his mother commented.

"Yes darling, he had already told you, you're only doing it to annoy him."

and the husband replied

"hehe you love me, I was just kidding you son, ahh who would say that, you would get married before your older brothers, those 2, Yuler is so busy with his studies to run the business, that his commitment has been delayed a lot, by the gods, I think we are going to have to kidnap him and marry him once and for all, just like Yustio only this, he is somewhere being a knight of the kingdom. But not only that, he is marrying you the daughter of the Vicronia, a pity that now it is only an empty name, in another situation if you will marry a family of Marquis, our family would prosper and even more if they were the famous Vicronia masters of order and the war, but well what is going to be done, we can only, in addition to some help, wish you luck and take good care of ... ¿what was it called?

When offering the question, his wife looked at him ugly, and he apologized for later the mother to comment.

"Hey son, but how is that young lady so you like it so much? they say she is cold as ice, she is talented in war but she is very rude with those of low birth.

And the father continued

"A certain son, how is it that you like it, and do not come to say that your sacrifice is not for love, and what a gentleman would do, because I do not believe you."

"ehh well..."

And so the conversation continued in the past, but memories of his reasons were cut short when an announcer announced.

And so the conversation continued in the past, but memories of his reasons were cut short when an announcer announced.

"And now, dear guests, in honor of the great gods, let us begin this sacred celebration with the entrance of the bride."

Then a pianist began to play the organ that was in the background in the church, and a choir recited a song according to the sound of the instrument, at the same time that the entrance door would have been, letting in slowly and escorted by a royal guard in gala dress, a young lady dressed in a simple all "white wedding dress with a veil that completely concealed her face and hair.

Crystal, only felt anguish and sadness for each step she took, since each step reminded her of the cruelty she suffered, the shameful and unjust execution of her parents that she witnessed while for perhaps the first time they looked at her with tenderness and told her that everything would turn out well, that they loved her and that she remained loyal to the crown, the horrible future destined for her after this false commitment, And above all the unfortunate breakup and the horrible displeasure on the part of the man that she, since she was little, had shared so much and that possibly he would be the only one who had loved and still loved to the sound of today and the moments they spent together.

Like the first time she met him at 8 years old, at that tea party organized for her first fiance meeting, in which she was cold and did not care about anything, just being useful to her parents and the kingdom, she was sitting in front of the prince, who for his thoughts, was only a subject with whom he would often be and who should not offend if not the opposite.

"This, I am Prince Querin Reigaria for short, it is a pleasure to meet you."

The now little and tender 8-year-old prince introduced herself

"The pleasure is all mine, your royal highness, my name is Crystal Vicronia for short, I hope I can be of your liking your excellence."

But in contrast to the young prince's tender and childlike formal presentation, the response was elegant, formal, and cold as if from an emotionless actor acting.

And it was so with this presentation that the conversation died for a while until the prince with an impulse told his cold company.

"You will always want to meet you, my father says that you are amazing, that you invented a war tactic that brought us victory over the barbarians and that you were very good at magic, it is thanks to you that although I am very strong, I strive every day to be even stronger, stronger and seeing you today is making me very happy."

and she listening to the flattery of the prince, caused her cold heart to melt just a little, since, she was already used to those praises, but what happened after businesswoman to melt her ice. Since followed by a monotonous praise of the girl to respond to the prince, she after a moment of silence got up, approached the girl, and said.

"You seem to be getting bored, like me from this party, come let's venture into the city is a lot of fun."

but to such strange and spontaneous words with an improper meaning of a prince, she tried to respond monotonously.

"But your majesty, it is not proper for me to go..."

"From now on calling me Querin, Crystal, that from today we will be fiancees and the fiancees will not be named with honorifics, now come and we will have fun in the city."

she said as she took his hand and dragged her off on the first of many unsolvent adventures in which she would come to truly love him and promised herself that she would do everything possible for his benefit and that she would be an exemplary queen who he would maintain order in the kingdom together with his beloved. And it is happening as planned until that maiden appeared who did not know her place and was falling in love with her beloved in addition to deepening the typical conflict of the lower to the upper class that had always existed in the academy, which she, with her efforts he had placated in a good way without leading to disaster on both sides. Since she appeared, things were falling apart, the appeased problems arose in a worse way, her friends began to separate, and her lover began to hate and like that lady, until everything ended in that party where she was supposed to announce her date of marriage, but instead he found out being imprisoned in his room at the academy, which announces the engagement of his beloved and that low-born maiden.

And these negative memories and others filled with sadness in the damaged people who were already reaching the podium, which was their only motivation was their loyalty to their crown that they still kept, as love for their beloved parents that although in their life they did not demonstrate much affection was now sure after her statements before dying, that they had always loved her.

Once the lady arrived in front of Yulio, following the protocol, I nervously took away her speed from that creature that was only a head lower than him, to look at her graceful face. Which was white as snow, his blue eyes like sapphires to match his light blue hair, which was long and somewhat wavy, and his temperance was cold as ice but is beautifully but sadly corrupted, by the sad poorly hidden in his now not so controlled emotions and these traits will be seen, in the irritation and dark circles that presented his eyes that hardly came due to makeup.

And giving contrast, Crystal when removing the veil, looked at her future husband whose face and the body was not to his liking because he represented what she thought a mediocre and futureless nobleman, since his body was somewhat fat and neglected, and his face partially covered with freckles of adolescence, showed insecurity and nervousness. The only thing salvageable in him was that bravery and kindness barely exposed.

After they both saw each other face to face, the priest began to recite his mass.

"Dear brothers and sisters, we are gathered here to celebrate the union of these two young souls, of Crystal and Yulio Funsei in sacred marriage ..."

and with these registered words I begin, the union of both, which between thought and nerves both will coincide in remembering the moment they met, Yulio for nostalgia and Crystal as only for know, who will face in the future and how it was that he sacrificed for sacrificing him since there he did not remember who he was.

It was one night 2 years ago at the celebration at a dance to celebrate Friendship Day, where Yulio is near the entrance to the dance hall in a somewhat isolated courtyard, being bathed and humiliated by a glass of grape juice that one of 3 girls of high nobility was pouring on him.

"¿Did you like the grape juice of the party?, Eh heard that the grapes come from your territory, so knowing that I take the kindness to serve you a drink, ¿or is it that you do not like my kindness?" commented on the culprit of such an act

"Not at all, my lady, I am grateful for your gesture."

upon hearing these, the 3 of them laughed maliciously, and the culprit of the act continued speaking.

"Oh, good that you like it, my friends and me, on the contrary, it seems repulsive, so humble grapes but at the same time so expensive, but for some reason my father likes them but I felt very bad, when on his fortieth birthday, He wanted to buy a batch of his best wine, but this was very expensive for him, so he settled for a bottle, how sad and angry that day, but do not feel bad, that shows that we of the high nobility, we are not worthy of your grapes made by your humble family, ¿right? "comment unpleasantly, the leader of the three.

"I, i, i.." The boy tried to answer with his head down but the leader interrupted him.

"well enough it doesn't matter, that is only a minor matter, we only came to greet you since we saw that you were alone on a day that you should spend with your friends or partners, in addition to accompanying us in this celebration, but apparently you liked me so much the juice that, you forgot your manners and you get dirty yourself, well it is normal that those of low birth forget their manners, do not worry, but I think nevertheless that you will not be able to attend the party, how sad is not it?, do you think girls?."

And between laughs, the others said yes, and then they continued to annoy him until an authoritative voice interrupted them.

"You think you do!"

Said that voice coming from an elegant and beautiful girl in her pre-teen with an air of cold authority, which minutes before was taking a tour, in case there is something wrong before the party while thinking about her future time with her prince.

"Ahh, what a bum to do this tour, but I will not allow this dance to be ruined by some idiot who dirties the place or some indecent couples, I must maintain order, and thus my evening with Querin will be beautiful and perfect and he will be proud of me "

Similar thoughts occurred until I notice the abuse of 3 girls against a boy.

"Ahh, just when the tour was going to end, let's see it seems to be the typical case of abuse, well there I go"

And so with that thought, she embarked on the scene to recite the words that interrupted the abuse by the 3 who had the audacity to excuse themselves, more specifically the leader of the group.

"Ohh Lady Vicronia, what an honor to have met on this special night, now we were just chatting amicably with our partner Yulio."

The group leader said nervously, realizing the imposing figure of her opponent. On the other hand, Yulio, for the first time since his encounter with the girls, raised his head to begin to fill himself with hope and desire for the owner of the saving voice, which responded to the obvious and shameless lies.

"You are hypocritical and shameless, I just asked you what you were doing, to see if you apologize for your actions since I know what you are doing since I saw you and directed me here, but instead of asking for a peradón for abusing their neighbor, lowering their high noble status to annoy someone inferior to you, if not they dared to lie to me, now long and out of my sight, or tomorrow I will take them to the disciplinary council in my power as head of the security council and member of the student council."

Finishing those words, the white girls with fear retired as quickly but elegantly as possible to flee from that woman, leaving the victim and her savior on the scene.

"And you, my unfortunate partner, I advise you to become stronger so that they do not bother you anymore, if your low status is your problem, have your achievements and your ingenuity exceed your status and avoid problems."

And the young man was filled with hope and joy at hearing such words from such a high and prestigious nobleman, to which in gratitude in tears he knelt before her and said to her.

"Thank you very much Lady Vicronia, I will follow your advice with all my effort even if I do not achieve anything, and if you ever need my help I will be there for you."

upon hearing these words, Vicronia responded with a pre-designed phrase for this situation previously experienced after these encounters.

"Well, I hope you keep your words, see you"

And then, the young lady turned around and continued on her way, while the young man stood for a while admiring his savior, then stopped and returned to his bedroom to continue his life now with a new motivation.

and with this separation marked the end of the first meeting of the two souls who were now looking at themselves and the public, while the priest continued the mass until he said

"Now, there is someone who is against the realization of this union, speak now or forever."

These words filled Yulio's fateful fear of losing his beloved, and for his partner filled her with a vain hope that her prince would enter through those doors, and fight for her. But these sentiments died when after a convenient interruption the priest continued the ceremony.

"Now I say to you, couple, it is moments of your vows and the ring ceremony, your, Yulio begins."

And the young continued nervously saying while with his warm sweaty hands he took his partner's left hand and introduced a simple gold ring adorned with a beautiful diamond embedded in his ring finger.

"I Yulio while I live, I will, I will do everything possible and impossible to make you happy and provide you security."

and then the unhappy young woman said monotonously, now with a ring on his left hand, while he placed it with his cold ones and debuted with his hands a simple gold ring on the ring finger of his partner's left hand.

"I will be a good wife, who will not bring dishonor to anyone."

Having heard the priest, the pathetic vows of both continued saying and witnessing the act of the continuous rings saying.

"Now I ask you Yulio Funsei, do you promise before the gods, your homeland, your family and yourself, to love and protect Crystal, in good and bad, in health and in disease and in wealth and in poverty Until death separates them?"

"I promise"

Yulio said, and then the priest continued

"And do you promise Crystal before the gods, your homeland, your family and yourself, to love and protect Yulio Funsei, in good and bad, in health and in disease and in wealth and poverty Until death separates them

"I promise"

Crystal said weakly losing all his hope so that he would then precede the priest

"Now with the power vested in me by the church and with the favor, presence and blessing of the gods I declare you Yulio Funsei and you Crystal husband and wife, the bride and groom can kiss.

And with that statement, these 2 young and unhappy souls are now in a sacred marriage, and the couple only had to make a gesture of love to seal the bond, which is the damage at that moment paralyzed and about to break, and the Very nervous and conflictive young man to carry out an action for lovers, knowing that she surely did not want him, but deciding to last long, he leans towards his beautiful but unfortunate face and with his parched lips gently kisses his right cheek, act of which caused a silent tear to seep from her right eye. Marking the end of the wedding act and beginning a new life full of emotions and stumbles.
