Wedding day 2

I got to the the main hall luckily and didn't trip.

"Fourth Princess, Princess Xeraphina Luna-Nyx Astaseul has arrived"

I walked into the hall and it turned deadly silent. The only thing I could hear was the clicking sound of my slippers on the ground and my heart which was drumming in my ears.

I "gracefully" walked to the table which my father was to greet him. He was there with his wives. On a table beside his was Zarek, Ivy, Richard and and his wife.

"King Father, Liveth Longeth"

"Hmm"

I walked over to another table which was beautifully decorated. I wonder where my husband is, it feels weird calling someone my husband.

"Prince Lukyan Indulf Desai has arrived"

He walked into the hall. Everyone started murmuring.

Well I don't blame them, the man with gold eyes was extremely beautiful. I was even mesmerized by his beauty, he was not wearing a mask today which made his full face come into view.

I'm sure everyone was murmuring because they were expecting a man with red or black horns popping out of his head with a ugly face and black shin with long fangs and maybe blood dripping out of his mouth because of the reputation he upheld.

He walked with pride to where my father sat.

"King Edward" He said.

"Hmm"

His family was supposed to walk in after him but no one came in again. Looks like his family cared little or less about him.

He walked over the table where I was and sat down. I kept my head low as that was what Patricia said, to keep my head low whenever I see my husband at the wedding.

"What will you be doing during the talent exhibit?" He asked me.

"You will see it then, My Lord" I said.

The talent exhibit was a ceremony which was held at every wedding both, royal or otherwise. It was a ceremony where the bride showcases to everyone a skill which she was gifted with or acquired. It was more important in a royal wedding to show that a princess is not just a princess, she can be more. She can use her skill to its peak.

I actually never had a skill because I was never allowed to learn one and I had never figured anything i could do. When I was sent to the deepest east side of Jennosia, father arranged at dance teacher for me. I should've picked the pieces together that he was actually preparing for my sending away.

Many other ceremonies were conducted and the talent exhibit came. I dressed in more comfortable clothes and went to the middle of the hall.

Everywhere turned silent again and then the music played. I started dancing. I danced till the end of the music and everyone started applauding. I looked around and my eyes settled on Lukyan who wasn't clapping. He just sat there like a statue.

Was he not happy with my performance? Was he disappointed?

I couldn't read his expressions because it was just blunt and unchanging.
