When I arrived the top of the aisle, he looked at me from top to bottom before making me a quick wink and smirk, then he took my left hand
that was resting at my side,leaned forward and kissed me.
It wasn't long before Julian did his grand entery, he was putting on a medieval white attire, decorated in red, which matched perfectly with his white hair and red eyes. I don't know why but it didn't feel good seeing him 'maybe is because he was my former suitor' I thought.
"Now we can proceed" Cardinal Demare said.
Later, the floor was given to the Emperor for his speech . When he was finally done, the next person who was given the privilege to talk was Emperess Silver. Her speech was joyful and cheering and had most of the crowd share tears.
"My Belle will you like to vals with me?" the Emperor asked which made me have a tinkling feeling to reject
his dance proposal but I let the nut crack and took his
hand.
According to our culture, the ring ceremony and marking are done at the end of the wedding.A vals( A vals is a dance which permits everyone to dance together as positions and partners are been switched during the dance) is done to present the bride to the population.
I had the impression that the wedding was going to be long. I began dancing, swaying around with the Emperor and making prestigious dance moves, the dance went fluently and I was sure enjoying myself.... He crossed the distance between our faces and robbed his cheeks to mine, making it a dance move. I was so angry that I crushed his feets but nothing could stop him as he didn't even shift his toes a little "My Belle, your touch is so lovely , please can you place your foot on my other foot" he said that brushing my cheeks to he's. in anger, i crushed his other toes with the base of my hill and increased pressure on the ones which I crushed earlier. Abruptly, the Emperor swayed me around and I ended up in another person hands and continued dancing, it was a man with pink hair and pale pink eyes which was backed up by an almost pink skin and firm lips.
"Miss Isabelle Mendel, i am so clad to finally have the occasion to dance with you, i am Carlos Soria am in charge of the land boundaries and foreign affairs " the man infront of me spoke, he was too young to be in charge of such tasks as it once reached my ears that the boundaries were often attacked "My future Emperess have you already been claimed? " he asked with a cheerful smile "What make you say that ?" I asked while he made me turn around and dragged me back to him... The man looked at me almost laughing, not like I wanted to hide the truth but it will be a taboo for my family if it's known. "The mark you tried to hide with makeup is very visible to me and my sense of smell never lie to me, so tell me, am I right?" before I could say another word , i found myself in another person's hand, the movement was so swift that I ended up falling on another person's chest, i looked up to see who it was. "My Emperess, it will be appreciated if you retain yourself a little, i think what we did today afternoon was enough" he spoke, this time, i fell on Julian , what was he even talking about "Julian what are you talking about? " I asked and he just winked and send me to the next arm. I danced until my feets were aching and I couldn't take it anymore so I paused for a little .
'What if Mr.pink pale I danced with reveal my secret, the name of my family will be stained and by the Emperor's actions' I thought inwardly as I searched for the pink hair guy with my eyes "Are you looking for me? " someone spoke making me turn my attention to the person behind me . "I went on investigation and found out that the author of that mark was the Emperor, right Mrs Isabelle" he murmured "Mr.pink pale?, who told you that? " I spoke while stammering. "your maid, who else know about it?, and that is a nice suggestion, maybe I should change my name to pink pale." he replied.
"Why don't you follow me? " he purposed and moved forward having me follow him.
" ehmm, where are you taking me to?, am sure by now my step mom is looking for me" I said but he didn't care and continued on his path silently. 'Where is he taking me to ? what if he is a traitor and wants to give me to the enemy' I thought as he continued moving,
I couldn't just follow him like a slave, so I decided to attack, "As we all know, attacking is the best defense"
I said, intending to remove my dagger, though a sword could be better, i removed a virtual dagger, looking around if my dagger had fallen and looked up to the man who had disarmed me without my conscience.
" Is this what you are looking for? " he asked, swaying my dagger on his hand and then threw it at me which I cought easily.I felt he was strong, so I moved backward without making any sound but my road was cut short as I hit a rigid body behind me.
I don't know why but in the contact of that body I felt like I had just hit the door of death.
The man who was moving forward halted and in no time he just disappeared, the atmosphere had become chilling cold. I was too scared to turn.
"Won't you look at me?.....My love " a chilling cold voice spoke and I turned, giving him a solid slap which made my hair unbundle and move in the direction of the wind, I widened my eyes as I noticed his face didn't move , my hair was scattered on his face, blown by breeze, so I could see only his golden blonde hair.
His next move was to hold my wrist and dragged me like a slave. Though I didn't see his face, he looked familiar, so as his voice too. "Please let me go, i assure you my dad has enough money to reward you."
I pleaded and as result, he threw me away like garbage making me hit the wall. I pulled myself up and tried to run away but he blocked the way with his hands as he had placed them on the wall, with me facing his rigid body. I slowly looked up and was surprised. It was.....
