Chapter 26 - The Night (2)

Edra glances around the Ceremony Hall, the very same place she meets Arax for the first time, that time when Arax and Byrl stand side by side, uttering the vow and binding their life together in marriage with no purpose of heir or love. It was love at first sight, funny how she could love someone immediately after laying eyes upon him, even though it was clear he is beside someone else at that time, Edra keeps remind herself, Lady Byrl is only a deal, someone who couldn’t bring him happiness as she could, she is just a puppet to be kept alive inside the castle.

Edra only believes in the way her heart chooses to beat whenever she sees him like he is the core reason she is alive and breathing, she is blind by everything. She wants one thing that she could never have, his heart. She spends almost two hours standing in front of a mirror, choosing from one dress to another, trying to look good, despite her Mother keep telling her that she looks perfect.
