I looked at my skin once more reflected by the mirror and the only thing I could see was my belle's name written on my chest and I smiled.
"Twilight why didn't you tell her about the past?" Carlos my right hand man spoke .Carlos was a man of rules and promises as he was gifted with pink hair and pale pink eyes which was his pride
"It was funny to see her attacking me with the dagger which I entrusted to her" I replied turning to him.
"lady Isabelle has already won 10 sword trophies, what if she could hurt you?" Carlos continued persisting but now with an almost angry gaze.
In order to comfort him a little, i tapped his shoulders
"Isabelle is strong but faced to me, she's a poppy, aren't you informed enough to know that?" I asked but the man kept persisting "your love for her will make you turn into an ant which the poppy can easily crush" he replied waking up my sense of humour as I laughed at his words.
"My Emperor the Emperess is waiting for you as you demanded" one of the palace servants informed me before walking away quickly "A promise is a dept" Carlos spoke while simingly laughing at me." Maybe I should inform Duchess Evelyn Aloysius a certain man confessed to me his feelings for her but was too shy to tell her" I teased him."but a promise is a dept as you say"I spoke before turning my back to him and left.
The more I moved further, the more I advanced myself, the more I felt the night will be long.
When I finally crossed the distance between I and the royal chambers, i took a long inspiration before making my way into the room.
"Am pleased to see my emperor in this room after so much time" she bowed probably having a party in her mind.
I didn't have time for chitchat as I placed my lips on her's burrowing my tongue into her mouth . The night was cold but the Emperess had put on a short stapless white thin gown which made her tights look pretty.
Sooner, the atmosphere in the room was filled with moans and groans.
When I opened my eyes, i noticed my chest served as a pillow to the sleeping lady close to me and I bit my tongue as the thought of Isabelle beeing in her place ran through my mind.
I pilled off the lady who was clinging to my skin and when on to take a quick bath before getting into the main activity of the day which was to write a letter to the Mendel family.
I narrowed me eyes subtly, digging into my mind to find sweet words for my Belle . Not having any inspiration, i went out to take some fresh air noticing the sun had not completely risen ."Nothing good like a
wipp from the cold morning breeze to inspire even a donkey" I spoke to myself .
I thought, continuing on my path having the usual bowing ceremony from my maids as I passed by.
Finally I arrived at my best spot of the castle; the mermaid garden ,it was a large garden with a desk and seat at the center which was surrounded by enormous fountains that had water coming out from the mermaid statue calabash which they carried on their shoulders and all this fountains served as pillars for the garden roof.
"Look like it is just what I needed" I spoke to myself as a bulb lit up in my mind.
Sooner I was done and in the right time. Just when the sun was at 30Β° of the earth surface, i did a gesture and one of the servants who were constantly watching me ran to me then bowed as she arrived
" Take this letter and give it to the royal messenger, the address has been written on it" I requested as she obeyed without protesting.
some time later, another servant came to me "Your highness the Emperess is requesting for your presence in the dinning room " she said while constantly blushing and trying to avoid my gaze."Tell her I will be there in a sec" I replied driving her away.
βWhat more do that pest wants, wasn't she satisfied enough having me for herself this night or locking me up in a coffin for more than a century ?β I thought inwardly.
But nothing was gonna spoil my night, absolutely nothing. I pushed myself to the dinning room and as usual, it was a cold breakfast along a three metre dinning table and each on opposite sides, with the table mainly decorated with food,fruit and Bine(refined blood wine)
"My Emperess the royal tailor and the decorators have arrived " I could here a maid say. "you over there, come" and she obeyed as I requested "Tell the Emperess she will not have to take care of anything, is my wedding and I will like it as it suits me" she nodded and left for the Emperess side and later came back "Your majesty, the Emperess said your first task will be to chose a dress for your bride" "and so shall it be" I responded and she left.
What more could happen, i had a tone of gowns presented to me by all the great tailors of the Empire but what I wanted was at the end of the long list; A gown which was beautiful and easy to untie so as to please me after the wedding . It was not over after I sent the gown to the Mendel family, now I had tones of maids and decorators following me around each with different questions; "My Emperor will you like a white crystal decoration or blue, or maybe red ?" they asked but for my Isabelle I can enter a forest of loud thorns.
Finally I was done, I had chose a Crystal decoration to match with our white and gold outfits which had blue saphirs as ornaments .
Later, i went on for body care, i took a bath, hair cut and massage therapy. My heart bounced in my chest as I stood at the end of the aisle waiting for my bride, not that I was alone, the Emperess was also waiting for her paramour.
SOONER, THE ROYAL GUARDS OPENED THE DOOR AND MY BRIDE MOVED FORWARD BUT I COULD FEEL SOMETHING WAS WRONG, SHE NO LONGER LOOKED AT ME WITH THOSE PIECING EYES AND FIERCE LOOK OF HER'S BUT RATHER HER EYES WAS FILLED WITH SADNESS.
