"I can't believe you're getting married today", I told ky.
He gave me an odd look.
"Why?"
"I'm just saying, days really flew by".
"Well I am getting married today".
"I can't wait to see Kim, plus I know the groom is missing his wife-to-be ".
He just ignored me and continued looking at his suits. The designer made a few suits for him to choose from and I guess it was hard for him to make a decision.
I pushed him aside.
" Let the expert handle this".
"Sure", he said holding his hands up in surrender.
I ran my hands over the suits then picked out a navy blue suit with a black waistcoat and black leather lace shoes.
"Here, wear this".
He waved his hand and the clothes appeared on him.
"How did you do that without chanting a spell?" I asked.
"I'm a pro".
"Well, you my brother look very handsome", I said as I lightly pulled his collar.
"I know".
I scrunched my nose.
"Why are you being exceptionally snobbish today? Like isn't this meant to be like the happiest day of your life".
He sighed and sat on his bed.
"I'm sorry, that's just my way of showing my nervousness".
"If you're having second thoughts about the wedding, we can run away, I've been thinking about that for awhile now", I said.
He rose an eyebrow and I laughed.
"I'm kidding, I don't know much about this but I know Kim is a great girl and you're going to have so much fun ruling together as King and Queen of Axona".
He smiled.
"Thanks sis, what would I do without you?"
I wiped a fake tear from my eye.
"I know right, I ask myself that sometimes".
He shook his head at me.
"Now go and get dressed, your fiance will be here soon. You know he is my best man right? Don't you want to wear something so breathtaking that he will be forced to pledge eternal loyalty to you? " he said snickering.
I blushed, swiping at him on his shoulder.
"Shut up"
"Okay" he said still snickering.
"Just say you want me to go".
"Finally you got a hint, go. You're kim's maid of honor not my best man or should I say best woman".
I stood up, walking towards the door.
"Now it's wrong for a girl to talk to her brother on his wedding day".
"Not to worry, I'm going" I said and slammed the door behind me.
I heard him laughing as I walked on.
As I walked back to my room, I thought about Ivar. I hadn't seen since Saturday, after our mini fight.
______________
"Damn you, Ivar".
"You can say that again" he said.
I hissed at him. Then I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" Ivar said.
The door opened revealing a guard.
"Your majesty, The Prince of Axona, skyler has sent me to the Princess Iris".
"You may speak", Ivar replied.
The guard turned to me and bowed.
"The Prince has asked me to me tell to meet him at the Palace entrance as your parents want you to get back as soon as possible".
I nodded.
"Thank you"
He bowed again and left the room.
Geez, I could never get used to this treatment. I mean you couldn't judge me, I was just a normal person living a normal life and then, bam! I'm a princess.
I turned to Ivar.
"I'm going home".
"I'm not deaf, I heard".
"Aren't you going to walk me to the entrance or at least tell me goodbye?"
He shrugged.
I sighed as I stood up, walking to the door.
"Wait".
I stopped and watched as he walk past me.
"Aren't you coming?" he asked, smiling at me.
That smile.
But he was as bipolar as heaven and hell. One minute he's arguing and the next he's smiling.
"You bet I am", I replied smiling back at him.
We walked on till we reached the stairs.
I felt a lump in my throat, I don't want to go down the stairs.
You can do this Iris.
Ivar looked at me then he placed his hand on my back and carried me up in his arms.
"Just look at me and don't take your eyes off me".
With pleasure.
I nodded and he started descending the stairs.
I stared at him as I drank in his face ;his black tousled hair I was itching to run my hands through, those grey orbs I always seemed to get lost in -.
My thoughts were interrupted as he dropped me gently.
"Thank you"
He nodded.
"One day I'm going to show you what it feels like to see the world at greater heights".
"I really hope that day never comes".
"We'll see".
I sighed, taking a step close to him. Then I wrapped my arms around him, burying my head in that comforting chest.
"Bye Ivar", I whispered.
I pulled away, then ran out through the open doors to meet ky.
_____
"Princess Iris".
"Huh?" I replied coming back to reality.
It was Deena and Lisa.
"The ceremony is about to start and you're not ready yet",Lisa said.
"Don't worry, I'll just use a spell", I said.
"No, we'll get you ready ourselves",Deena said.
They both led me to my room, sat me in front of my dresser and started working pretty fast, rollers in my hair, applying make up on my face and blah blah blah...
They picked out a dress for me to wear and shoes.
Finally I was done, the result was pretty good.
My hair was let loose in cascading waves, my make up nude but just perfect.
I wore silver dropping earrings. I wore a black spaghetti v-neck long gown with my favorite style ; starting below my knees down to the back of my legs.
And I topped it all of with black stilettos.
I was so late, I was meant to be with Kim right now.
I snagged grandpa's band and slid it on my wrist and dashed out of the room.
I flunged open kim's door and saw maids helping her fasten her wedding dress. I waved them away.
"Don't worry, I'll take it from here"
They scurried out leaving me and Kim alone. I pulled Kim into a hug.
"I'm so sorry, I got carried away with helping ky instead of helping you".
Kim smiled.
"It's okay besides you look stunning. ooh Ivar's got something coming his way".
"I'm going to let this pass because it's your wedding and you look absolutely beautiful".
She was wearing a dazzling black flare dress with royal blue outlines, her black hair was packed up in an elegant updo, leaving wisps of hair around her face.
"Now let's finish your look"
I sat her down, then slipped a black diamond necklace round her neck. I wore matching bracelets and earrings. And for the finishing touch. I sprinkled sparkles on her hair. She looked like a Disney Princess. Well she was one if you removed Disney.
She stepped into her heels and..
"Voila, what do you think?"
"It's lovely".
"Come on, ky must be waiting", I said leading her out of the room.
Her dad was waiting, to walk her down the aisle.
She looked at me.
"Go on, there's no need to be scared".
She squeezed my hand gratefully and went to her father.
I watched as she walked down the aisle with her dad and as she faced ky and held his hands.
One thing I had learnt was that immortal weddings were done in a different way.
From what I heard, the couple chanted a couple of spells and of they're marriage was accepted, they're souks were joined, connected in a visible way forever.
Let's see how it goes.
Ky talked first, then Kim. Turns out that they were just saying their vows in the ancient language of zyen.
They joined hands and said a spell together.
At first nothing happened. Then their hands started glowing. Gradually the light increased illuminating the night.
Then it burst into millions of lights soaring into the oblivion.
I reached up and tried to touch one but it passed through my hand.
Ghost lights.
The priest then said,
"I now pronounce you man and wife".
Everyone erupted into cheers.
That was so beautiful. People went over to then to congratulate them.
I walked to them. Then engulfed both of them in a hug.
"That was epic".
They laughed, looking truly happy. The merriments continued with people celebrating.
It lifted my heart to see them so happy.
To me, my life started the day Elix Joyner tried to kill me.
The day Ivar saved me.
I walked outside feeling a bit sad that I hadn't seen the person I had been wanting to see all week.
I rubbed my arms, feeling a bit cold.
Suddenly, I felt a jacket cover me. I clunged it tightly.
"Ivar?", I asked smiling.
It felt like the first time I met him, I knew it was him instantly.
I felt his lips graze my ear.
"Did you miss me?", he whispered into my ear.
A/N
Ohh, a cliffhanger 😅. What up people! Guess the itsy bitsy chance was a little more than I expected.
Just a filler, next chapter is going to start with Ivar's pov...
Yaay! We get to see things from his point of view. It's a bit sad that Ivar only showed up in the last part of this chapter but don't worry there is going to be plenty of him in the next chapter.
So I was thinking of a ship name for them though it's kind of a bummer that both their names start with an 'I'. I'm thinking 'Ivis' or 'Irar'. I'm totally rooting for the first one.
