It was The wedding day, it wasn't anything too elaborate the entire capital knew there was a wedding for the Princess Freya and Crown prince of Gyotre Haz, there were a handful of the Royal family lovers gathered in front of the palace in order to show support and Freya waved to them from inside the 15th century designed carriage on Her way to the cathedral where the wedding was to take place.
They arrived at the cathedral around 9am and the wedding was set to start 11am that morning, their carriage went through the back and they passed through a tiny passage which would eventually lead them to a dressing room adjacent to the entrance of the hall, there Nana and some hired professional did some finishing touches on her make up.. the hustle and bustle continued until it was 11am, Time to get wed
She was walked to the isle in the arms of her father , the guests in the cathedral rose up as she was taking her careful one at a time steps she had a veil covering her face she could see through it but it removed the minute details she would ordinarily see with her bare eyes , she looked up and saw him waiting at the isle in n his Royal red military coat with a sword to the left she had thought she would be infuriated at his presence but she was feeling relaxed and hadn't given him much thought all day.
They eventually reached the isle , and her father slowly retired to his seat in the middle in the front row of the audiences, Freya felt nauseous a little she had been throwing up for some days now she also had earlier that day but it didn't seem to bug her much today so she ignored it The priest came up delivered the necessary sermon or something she didn't care much she wasn't paying that much attention.
The time came they exchanged vows and he was instructed to lift the veil off and they shared a kiss, it was warm and wet though it wasn't particularly intense neither was it void. One would think they both looked forward to when they would kiss each other again and both parties seized the opportunity to. The entire crowd in the cathedral rose up to their feet and gave them and applauded them Freya didn't even know more than half of the people in that Hall but what did it matter?
They both turned back to the priest and on the table beside him was the marriage papers she took the pen and signed where necessary when she noticed another piece of paper underneath that as well, it was the document stating the contract between both lands she couldn't fully read it in details at the time. she would follow them back to Gyotre that evening but luckily they would return to Bristol castle first.
They both walked out of the cathedral together greeting and waving to happy guests, they got to the carriage and he offered to help her into the carriage she would naturally reject but it wouldn't be a good look.They both got in the carriage and rode off into the sunset she WISHED!!!
" The real challenge begins here " she thought to herself
They sat opposite of each other,The carriage ride was silent except of the marching hooves of the horses and the gentle squeaking by the wooden carriage. Then he broke the silence
" As for the contract, I had it put under our marriage papers so it would be convenient to sign. I'll have a copy sent to you later "
She didn't say anything, she was looking outside the window and she gave a nod that was barely noticeable
" I would've ordered for some wine to be in the carriage, but considering the unfortunate incident last time... " he said after
She almost smiled and didn't take her eyes off the window when she replied
" wise choice your Highness "
The carriage remained silent for the rest of the trip to the castle, Her butler opened the door and helped her get down where Nana was waiting to receive her
" How did it go? " nana whispered to she, she couldn't be caught talking to the princess in such a casual manner
" At least he's got a sense of humor, that's something I suppose "
" You have about an hour to rest and prepare for the the reception your Highness before the other guests from the cathedral arrive " Nana stated
" Ughh!! What a bother I don't fancy all this shite "
" Language princess Freya, you're in public " nana worriedly blurted
" Oh I apologize for the inconvenience of me not giving a Shite!! " Freya replied her laughing
" Your Highnessssss " nana said as they both walked into the palace.
She found herself having to greet far too many people at the reception and they all had one shiny gift or the other, she has never wore such a fake smile for that amount of time in her entire life but she wasn't too worried because Her Majesty the Queen of Gyotre had taken it upon herself to personally introduce her to everyone, she met so many dukes and duchesses that evening she wondered how Her Majesty even managed to recall all their names from memory.
" or maybe she is a genius " the thought of that intrigued her , though deep in her heart she didn't wasn't this marriage she had started looking around at things and the people that piqued her interest and her new Husband was the last on that list.
The party came to and end and everyone gathered in the yard to witness her departure from the castle to her new home , her new life. She held onto the hug with her mother both of them sobbing, same with her teenage sister even little Bragi her brother who was seven was also sad
" will we never see you again? " he said rubbing a tear off his eyes
" No Bragi, I'll come visit sometime. you must promise me to always be a good boy okay? " she told him barely holding her own tears in herself, she hugged him tight as well
The crown prince was standing behind her for all this, when it got to Her Father, they hugged lightly and he gave her a kiss on the forehead
" You take good care of yourself Freya and I'm sure Nana would take good care of you as well "
She stepped into the carriage with eyes full of tears and waved to everyone as the carriage actually rode off into the endless sunset this time. she could see har baby brother trying to chase after the carriage , she looked away buried her face in her hands and cried some more.
