Red-eyed man!
No word could escape my throat as I got the shock of my life. I felt weak in my knees, and suddenly, the floor under my feet was slipping away. It was as if the shock was the final push needed for the weight of the heavy bridal gown and jewelry, added to the anxiousness of getting married, to come crashing at me. This revelation was so unexpected, I felt like my soul would leave my body at any moment.
The moment my body lost strength, a pair of strong arms held me, protecting me from falling down.
I could only look at him with wide eyes as I heard him ask, "Are you fine, my Queen?"
My throat felt too dry to even say a word. Not as if any word would come out. As I stared at him, it felt like my entire brain had stopped working. When I lowered my gaze, my eyes caught sight of a familiar tattoo shining on the left side of his neck.
"Are you not feeling well?" the red-eyed man asked again.
