Married

The wedding came to an end after two more ceremonies. It was time for the farewell ceremony. I hugged Zarek, Ivy, Richard and his wife and bid my farewell.

At least Alicia is coming with me so I'll have her with me.

Lukyan and I stepped into the carriage to start our journey. We were now married.

The carriage started moving. Silence enveloped the carriage for sometime when he broke it.

"Nyx" He said

He knew my name? Of course he would. My name sounded like a prayer when he said it. Who knew listening to one's name from does devilishly beautiful lips would sound so me melodious.

"Yes, My Lord"

"Are you happy with this marriage?" He asked with his soothing voice.

Of course I'm not. Do you expect me to fall in love with you? Heck is that ever happening. How do answer this question?

"Nyx" He said.

"It is not for me to be happy or sad, I was married to you on short notice"

Where the heck did the courage to say such a long sentence come from?

"I asked a yes or no question but you are giving me such a long sentence. Do you like the idea of our marriage, I want an honest answer"

"No, I'm not happy at all. I feel like I was sold off to you for my father's stupid agreement with your father, I'm in no way happy at all"

A slight red color flashed his golden eyes which I didn't miss. My breath hitched and Lukyan saw it, he knew I saw something.

"What is it Nyx?"

I just looked at him. What was he? Was it those visions again? But, it felt like it just happened really. Did she make a mistake opening up to him?

"Nyx"

"What are you?"

He looked taken aback by my question.

I figured my life is as useless from the beginning, so I'll actually not hold anything back. If he kills me, so be it.

"What are you?" I asked again.

"What do you mean?"

"You...What are you?" I asked again.

The only thing she knew had red eyes were the vampires which she had read about. They had red eyes and long fangs, they also drank blood. Was he a vampire? Should she ask him?

Well there is no harm in asking him.

"Nyx, what do you mean?"

"Your highness, are you a v-v-vamp...."

"Your highness, we have arrived" A voice came from the outside of the carriage interrupting me.

Why do I feel coming here would turn my life upside down? Why do I feel like my coming here would change my normal life into something unimaginable?

He stretched his hand for me and I hesitated to take his hand.

Should I accept his hands and enter this life-changing place?

"Nyx, take my hand" He said.

I took his hand and he helped me down the carriage and the castle before me made me freeze.

The castle was extremely beautiful and really tall. It looked old but still elegant. Who knew I would ever say something like that?

The castle had a very huge garden with a lot of flowers around it. It had roses, daises and a bush that had the rare silver roses growing on it. I thought it was only on the highest mountain of Antronia that it was grown, looks like it was grown in the castle as well. Which also means this husband of mine just plucked a flower from here and gave me and here I was thinking that he went to the mountain to get it for me. Like he would though.

I felt the gaze of someone on me and looked up to to meet a pair of golden eyes looking at her with his head slightly tilted to the right.

He looked like he was thinking, like trying to figure out what was in my head but I know that's impossible.

"You've never seen a garden before?" He asked.

"I have, we have one at home but this one is really beautiful and really huge"

"Oh, so you like it?"

"Of course"

Why all these questions though?
