Toxic Hearts
I stared at the alter deep in thoughts, when I heard the trumpet. Sudden silence all over the church, you could hear a pin drop. The sound of footsteps, his footsteps; echoed around the place. I looked away from the floor i'd already spent 5 minutes studying, and saw a man, if not an angel; staring intently at me. He had the most beautiful gray eyes, like a void you could get sucked into if you looked at for just even a second; and for some reason I didn't want to look away. The most pale and beautiful skin I had ever seen, and that beautiful dark ash coloured hair that graced his already stunning face. I was crossed on whether he looked like an angelic devil or a devilish angel.
"I do."
The doubt I had about marrying a man I knew nothing about, changed to doubting whether I was worthy or beautiful enough to marry such a man laced with beauty and grace.
"Aliya Marigold Balliol, second daughter of Albert and Clarrisa Balliol of the Balliol house. Do you vow to love, cherish and honour King Xavier Van-leon of the great kingdom of Euphoria, through thick and thin, sickness or healthiness, in the hard or the good times. In this holy matrimony."
'This is it, any decision I make at this moment would bring about a big change in my life.' I thought.
I looked around the church and spotted my Mother looking at me with every ounce of pride and happiness, together with Kara, my personal maid and best friend, giving me a big smile with a thumbs up.
Then I looked at the man in my front, who was meant to be my life partner.
"I do." I said, while holding the tears that was about to rush out.
"King Xavier Van-leon of Euphoria. Do u vow to love, cherish and honour Aliya Marigold Balliol of the house of Balliol, through thick and thin, sickness or healthiness, in the hard or the good times. In this holy matrimony."
"I do." He said.
"You may now kiss your bride."
'--what, I totally forgot about this part.' I thought in my mind.
At that moment my heart was racing, this was going to be my first kiss.
The entire room filled with anticipation, the king and I stood before each other, with my heart pounding. This arranged marriage had brought us together, never would I have imagined that I would ever get married to the king.
