Misunderstanding

"I am happy that you have chosen one of my daughters Emperor Deimos, but my daughter Athena is not fit to be an Empress, she was in very poor health and she still is, so we did not have the chance to teach her how to care for her husband and how to please him," Selene's stepmother said and you could almost see the snake inside her mouth trying to force it's way out. Who knew there were such cruel and vile people in the world really makes you wonder if you were ever really a monster  

"I don't need her to all know that. I'm quite fond of Athena you see" I said to her truthfully

"Are you sure she is the one you want to marry, there are other ladies out here" King Josh said and the audacity for him to even think of those words was truly brave beyond measure, I tried being nice, but I had enough

"For fucks sake, you told me I could choose any wife I wanted and now that I have found the woman I want, should you not be celebrating instead of nagging me about another woman!"I shouted, who were they to look down on my wife, who gave them the right to, where did they get such nerves? Did they have a death wish?

"You're completely right. I truly do apologize, sister-in-law, brother, the Emperor has chosen your wife as his wife, this is something to celebrate" Josh said and smiled, this was what he was best at, faking it all. Faking his smiles and now faking his approval, not that I needed it anyway, the only approval I needed was Athena's and that was granted long ago

"Indeed," Athena's father said and smiled, I know Athena said he hated her, but why was there a hint of sadness and happiness in his

"Now my dearest fiancee, can I have the honour of being your first and only dance partner?"I asked and held my butterfly's hand, I had enough of that boring conversation in which I had zero interest in

"Of course," she said and those words made me happy as if she had just said "Yes I do" at our wedding

As we went to the dance floor and started dancing, the music went slower, but the noises got louder, and my eyes were on my beautiful butterfly. People were not just talking about the relationship between her and me, but also how unique and different Athena's dress was, the dress truly was beautiful and radiant, it was a dress like no other. It was special like the wearer and maker

"You look stunning today my beautiful fiancee" I to her as if I hadn't told her already

"You are acting as an Emporer who has been bewitched, Your Majesty," Athena said which made me chuckle, maybe I was

"Maybe I have been bewitched, Athena," I said and pulled her closer to me "I really want to kiss you right now" he whispered in her ear which made Athena turn very red, she was so exciting

"Mind your words and stop saying such crude things," she said, what crude things had I mentioned?

"I am minding my words, if I were not, I would have told you that I wish to strip you naked and feel your body, do you now hear the difference, my dear fiancee?" I said and her speechless look was everything

"You should go and talk to other people before you give your mind to do what it is thinking" Athena said and we bowed to each other as the song ended, I didn't want to go, but she was right

"You are right, I do have business with the King after all. I will see you soon my love" I said and kissed her forehead then left my butterfly on her own. I didn't want to, but I had to

"King Josh" I greeted as I saw him standing on the balcony

"My future nephew-in-law," he said and smiled at me

"King Josh, I just to make a few things clear," I said and got my dagger out "You see I'm not quite fond of how you all treated my fiance all these years" I continued as I looked at him trying my best to not cut his neck open

"I don't know what my niece said, but it's a misunderstanding" he said as his eyes were on the dagger I held

"Are you saying my wife lied?" I asked as I walked closer to him

"No of course not, I'm just saying that there might have been some type of misunderstanding between us" he said and you could hear the sarcasm in those words

"I really don't care," I said and pointed my knife at his throat " Just stay the fuck away from my wife and remember that she is way above you" I carried on and after that, I left him standing there.

Revenge was going to be sweet
