The day was a blessing for the kingdom.
Neth and May's marriage. People all around were busy in their celebration and arrangements.
North and Moral kingdom are finally uniting. The whole palace was decorated with flowers and fancy lights. Things were so busy all around, Can anyone tell what the Leads feel?
May went out of her room to check the halls. She was walking around with two servents behind her. Not long after, she bumped into Prince Neth.
Neth was expressionless and cold. No one could guess what he's thinking.
May orders the other two to leave as soon as she saw Neth.
With a joyful expresssion all over face,
"The day has finally arrived. I've been waiting for it so long."
Neth kept staring without saying a single word. He tried to walk away but May grabs his wrist.
M,"Still Mad? You should be happy in a day like this. Or Is it because Ellie isnt allowed to attend our wedding. Is this what's bothering you?"
N,"…"
M,"Even when I said im doing all this acting only to satistfy my parents you wouldn't believe me. Atleast look for a reason to be present tonight. Im not dying for you eighter."
N,"I told you Im doing this for my kingdom too. I can only be with you physically. Except for that you own nothing of me."
Neth walks away in anger While May stood there. Not trying to show what she's feeling inside.
At night, Everyone was done preparing. They were waiting for the special time to appear. One by one, All the Royal were being welcomed in the grand palace.
May was sitting in her room with a bride cloth on and Hair down. She was waiting for someone to do her hair.
Suddenly, She heard a knock on the door. She looked around to see It was Sky. Sky enters the room with forced smile on her face.
May thought to herself, "(what's she doing here....If she finds out Im treating Ellie as a princess again, she would make fun of me, calling me weak....)"
S,"how are you still not done yet?"
M,"what-"
S,"Your hair. Let me fix it for you."
M,"yea...sure."
Sky stands behind her and kept brushing her hair. May was staring at the mirror with a nervous face.
S,"I heard what you did with Ellie."
M,"(oh no...)"
S,"Serves her right. After tonight Prince Neth will only look at you. Too bad he couldnt realise your importance before.
I'll bless you two"
M,"Thanks-"
S,"Something still looks messy. If only that girl wouldnt appeared, you both could be happy couple. But now, She'll try to steal Neth away from you."
M,"…"
S,"Problems like her dont dissappear that easily. If i could recollect what you lost because of her.The best solution is to get rid of her."
M,"Get rid of her?...what should i do..."
S,"Her siblings went missing, Her mother is in Coma. I dont think anyone needs her anymore. There wont be much difference if she just
dies!"
M,"Should I kill her...?"
S,"what do you think? Is this what im trying to say?"
M,"She's my cousin. I can never do that! I'll marry Neth anyway. Im sure she wont bother us anymore."
S,"You know him best. Having a second wife isnt that much new. Can you handle that humilliation? Living in the same place?"
M,"I'll....get going now."
May walks out of her room. Since few hours were left until the ceremony, She has the permission to walk around freely.
But something inside her kept telling her to Visit Ellie. This time, In a good way.
Ellie kept herself locked since that day in the ceremony. Whether she was like a princess or not. Noone could witness it.
May made up her mind to visit Ellie. Just when she reached the door of her room, She stopped. There were someone talking inside the room. If it were anyone else May could order them to leave but the voice was Familliar.
M,"(Neth?)"
The conversation inside the room were pretty hidden but loud. As if one of them is already out of her mind.
N,"It's our last chance. Let's runaway from here. We dont have to live like this-", He was interrepted with a furious voice tone.
E,"Dont you get it! This is it. We can never be together again. Please Leave.
For the sake of May's happiness, Stay away from me!"
N,"What's the point! You gave up on everything for her. The last thing she could do was treating you like a trash.I cant even stand her existence."
May was standing outside the door, listening to everything. What they said after Neth's words were hard to follow. Since those words were enough to make her lose her mind.
Just after a few second Neth walks out of that room. May hids herself away.There was a storm growing inside her mind. All she could think about is how Neth can never accept her for what she did. Sky's fake advises hits her mind.Just like she told May. Neth never realised what he means to her.
When she was thinking about that, The other solution popped up as well.
M,"Should i ...just kill her? If no one finds out the merderer, Neth will accept the fate and end up liking me. She's nothing but a wall between us. "
Few hours passed. Everyone gathered at the main hall for the wedding.
Neth went up on the stage first. His face was expressionless. Anyone could tell how forced he is.but he hid it away for the sake of his family.
The ceremony begins. But there was no sign of the bride. almost 10 minutes passed but no one could present May.
The guest and the royals were highly worried but no one abandoned the place. Since they call it a bad luck.
But Neth couldnt wait any longer and walks off the hall. He heads to May's room. Two servents were present in that room. With a worried face they both looked at Prince Neth.
N,"where is she?"
One of them replies, "your highness, She asked for a leave...we couldnt stop her."
N,"Where did she go?"
Both went quiet. after a short silent, Neth ran off the room as if he can tell where May went. His path was straight to Ellie's room.
The room was also empty. Not a single soul around.
Other way, In the dark night. May and Ellie entered an empty tower. The door made a loud noise when it opened. Spider webs were everywhere around the walls.
E,"May...let's go back. It's time for the ceremony. We'll be late if we move any further."
M,"But we're not there yet. Beside, it's not even close to time. We still have an hour."
E , "what did you want to show me?"
M,"…I wanted to apologise. For everything I did. I hope... Neth and sister Ellie can forgive me."
E,"Of course we forgave you. You're not at fault. Anyone in your shoe would have done that."
M,"So...you forgave me?"
E ,"I did. Im sure Neth will too."
M,"*smirks* really? you sure about that?"
Ellie slightly got scared, "Is everything okay?"
M, "He wont since you made him that way...He hates me."
Ellie tried to say something but before that May pushed him to the ground. She fell on the ground. She again tried to say something out of pain but before she could, a light shines on her eyes.
It was is knife, shining by the moon light.
E,"May...what are you doing!"
May's face was full of confused emotions. As if she lost her mind and cant tell what she's feeling.
M,"It's all because of you. If you dissappear from our life...Only then Neth can accept me."
E,"Put it down-", She tried to reach the knife May was holding carelessly in her hand but failed. May already pushed her down again and this time her leg was placed on Ellie's hand, Forcing it down.
Ellie couldnt move. She was in disbelieve at the same time in pain.
M,"Any last wish before your death?"
E,"Dont do this! We can fix things up. Neth is only yours."
M,"How is it so easy to say? You dont care about him at all. he'll marry me for your sake. If you dont exist, nothing will be wrong anymore."
May forced her hand to pierce the knife through her but a loud shout stops her,
"Stop!"
