Getting Married

"First my sisters and now me? Mother, I will not be getting married anytime soon" Anna told her mother even after so many assurance

"Sweetheart, if you don't get married willingly, your father will force you and if you don't heed to him, he'll definitely lock you up in a dungeon somewhere. Do you want that to happen to you, sweetheart? Do you want a replica of the mark on your sister's face? My guess is no" Her mother told her

"You're his wife, can't you talk him out of it?" Anna asked

"I can but I won't. I want you to get married too and live somewhere else. you can't live here forever, sweetheart. I'm doing this for you, try to understand me"

Anna remained quite for a while. Her mind was in a maze trying to get out. She couldn't believe her parents . They were trying to marry her off to a prince of a cursed kingdom

"The wedding holds tonight" She managed to hear her mother say before she left her room.

Several minutes later, some maids rushed in to get her ready for the ceremony. After was finding it very hard to collect herself. But the moment she did, she was already in her wedding dress, waiting for the whole thing to begin in only five hours though.

"If anyone deserves a terrifying title, it's the prince, definitely. What you talking about, man?" One of his men, August, said

"We dare not anger him then" Zoom, another one of his men, said. "Speaking of the devil himself, here he comes" . The five of them arranged themselves in sight of Juverl

Juverl walks up to them holding something in his hands which were crossed behind his back. He stops right in front of them

He slowly showed them the item in his hand. "Who's responsible for this?" Juverl asked, fuming with anger

"Oh no. He's angry. We're done for"

"Why is he so angry because of wine?"

His men we're shivering in fear of him. Why was he angry this time? There was nothing wrong with the wine, It's exactly what he asked for.

"No answers? Explain to me the meaning of this nonsense"

"Talk to him, Aaron"

"No, you talk to him"

"You met him before I did"

"That doesn't count, Steve. I was only five hours early"

"That makes you his first man"

"I'm almost half to regretting that now"

"I'm becoming very impatient now" Juverl said with his eyebrows kissing each other now

"What's wrong with your wine, Your highness?" Aaron asked with his eyes closed for the pain to come

"Guess" Juverl requested

"I'm good at every other thing except that, sir"

"I won't waste my time here. This wine glass has a red lipstick trace on it. I don't appreciate that at all"

"Your highness, you have red on your lips. That must be what caused the red lipstick traced wine glass" Aaron explained

"Smart as always, Aaron. You passed the test. Extra training session for you" Juverl said and Aaron's face fell "This time, with me". With that, Aaron's face fell even more. A fight with the prince of darkness would kill him. Why did he become a guard?

"Thanks, Your highness" Aaron managed to say. "Thank you"

"Now come on, we have a wedding to attend In four hours, don't we?. I don't want to keep the bride waiting". Juverl walked away

"What an unlucky woman she must be?
