The bells tolled all over the kingdom, the royal churches was full of nobles and knights while outside the church were filled with commomers lining up either side of the church making a path to the entrance. The path itself was decorated with decorative fence and a red carpet. The bride carriage park on the other end of the carpet, Duke Nikos had assist his daughter out. As Aella put her feets on the ground the maids quickly took hold on the end of her dress and capes to make it easier for her to walk.
The people cheers in excitement and awe as they saw the bride. They might not see the face behind the veil but they can tell that the bride is a beautiful person by her hands and her graceful movements.
The duchess followed behind her husband and daughter with a teary smile. As they arrived at the door of the church, the knight that was stationed there went in and give signal to inform the people inside of the bride's arrival. The musicians instantly plays a wedding tune at the signal.
Aella look at her father through the veil and sighed before going inside.
The wedding progressed nicely as the priest make them promised each others and then having them speak their vow(which is hard for Aella as she never love him anyway) and then pronouncing them as husband and wife. King Rafael wasted no time in lifting her veil-which makes the nobles gasped in awe when they see her face(except for her friends and their parents) - and kiss her passionately. Aella tried to kiss him back as they were in front of the audience but soon started to kiss him back naturally instead of force -who knows that the tyrant king is a good kisser! but that doesn't mean she likes him any better- many of the married nobles blushed when they see the two, some of them even said "they really are an epitome of a matching couple from heaven especially how passionate they kissed each other".
It was very well known that the king had a very handsome face, he was considered to be the most handsome man in the whole kingdom!
His shoulder length blonde hair always tied in a low ponytail and glistened under the sun. his lean but muscular body had many ladies drool despite it being covered by his attire and cape, his smile that looks mischievious emits a 'bad boy' plus 'prince(king)charming' look. The ladies could not help but falls in love with their king despite his evil nature.
Now pair him up with the angelic and graceful Lady of Roubell, they really look like a matchmade from heaven,not to mention that they are only two year apart. The most handsome man in the kingdom with the most beautiful lady in the kingdom.
As the people thought of this, no one knows that the beautiful bride was cursing Fate in her heart.
It was time for the coronation as Aella marry the king means she had to take up position as the queen.
She kneeled on the upper stair of the church pedestal facing the king who was standing with his crown(as he did not wear them earlier), behind him is his advisor holding the queen's crown.
king Rafael clears his throat and ask in a loud voice "Do you, Aella Selina Ainsworth, nee Roubell promised to uphold your duty as the queen of Aurelia?"
Aella gulped nervously but answers "I do" in a strong and determined voice. 'more than you will ever expect'she thought.
"Do you promised to be loyal and care for the kingdom till your last life? "
"I do" 'unlike you' she whispers in her heart.
"Then I pronounce you, Aella Selina Ainsworth as Queen of Aurelia." He announced while he put the crown on her head. "You may rise and face your subjects".
Aella rised with the help of the king and faced the nobles.
Everybody including the commoners outside claps their hands merrily. In their heart they hope that with the presence of the new queen, the tyrant king will change even if bit by bit.
The only people that is not sincere in their smiles and clapping is a certain raven haired marquis and a blonde haired man who was standing among the higher ranking nobles. One had a tinge of annoyance in his yellow eyes and another one had a deep longing and regret in his green eyes.
After the wedding and coronation, the reception begin in the castle ballroom. The king and the new queen was sitting on their throne that was prepared for them while looking at the dancing nobles.
"I'm so glad we're married now my love..." the king said as he turned to Aella and place his hand on her thigh affectionately. "You don't know how long I've been waiting for this day" his dreamy voice sounds even dreamier as he said that, looking at her lovestruck.
Aella bit her tounge before opening her mouth to say something only to be cut off by the king "I know you dislikes me... I can see it in your eyes but don't worry, you will learn to love me soon enough that you won't even regret marrying me...I'm not as evil as they say you know". His grip on her thigh tightened and she bit her lip from groaning in pain.
"I doubt that... your majesty, this grip of yours proves otherwise" she scowled as she said this, positioning her head to face the king directly to hide her scowl from the people.
The king just chuckled before giving her thigh an affectionate squeeze then move to stand up in front of her with his hand outstretched "May I have this dance my lovely wife? ".
Aella scowled again but reluctantly take his hand and replied "you may... your Majesty."
It was after the reception and Aella was escorted to the king's room -well now it's also her room- she changed into her nightgown with the aid of the maid and then sat on the bed, leaning on the headboard with Persi the cat on her lap (old maid Nina had bring the cat to the room earlier). She was holding onto the cat worriedly and nervously as this will be the king and her first night. 'what am I gonna do, how can I avoid this...he's a man anyway' it doesn't help that she felt dizzy and uncomfortably hot and weak, 'maybe... I'm tired... would he let me go if I said I'm tired? '.
The door knob turned as the door opened revealing a grinning king, "hello my little wife, I'm back~". Aella had stand up in fear when she saw him, Persi the cat is near her feet on guard, looking at the king fiercely.
Aella make a run to the bathroom door only for the king to run appear behind her and pull her close to his chest and sniffed her neck.
"where are you going love... we were going to spend our first night now".
The next thing she knows is that she's on her back on the bed, clothes torn and head feel light and dizzy as king Rafael fuck her senseless.
Half an hour later, Aella fell unconcious due to tiredness while the king lay beside her while staring at her sleeping face and bare body(or what can be seen since she had been blanketed) when there's a knock on the door. Persi the cat had burrowed into a cat cave that was prepared for her earlier, sleeping.
"Come in" Rafael calls out in a soft yet still can be heard by those across the door while tucking the blanket up to Aella's neck to cover her body completely.
Marquis Symon came in and grin at the unconcious queen "it seems that the scented candle that I put around the room worked your majesty... ". That's right, the sly marquis had ordered a maid to put scented candles round the room that act as an aphrodisiac to the body to make Aella's more compliant to the king's action.
"yes it does, she was weak and compliant as I held her and pin her to the bed" the king grins wolfishly as he stares at his wife's face. "The sound that she makes when I pleasured her is really addictive.. my little wife is definitely the best. "
Marquis Symon smiled and bow "I'm glad you had fun your majesty, I'll bid you to rest now. Excuse me" retreating to the door.
King Rafael just wave his hand in dissmissal as his focus is only on his wife. This sight makes the marquis eyes flashed in frustration.
'that girl is really bothersome... a distraction' Marques Symon thought in his mind as he walked through the hallway to his chamber. Hands clenched tightly in a fist.
Meanwhile the king only smirked and kissed Aella's forehead and said "Mine." He cuddled close to her and went to sleep with a smile on his face.
