Writer's pov;

As the groom entered into the Hall where the wedding was happening, everyone was shocked because rumours were being spread that the prince was '𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗹'𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗻' . So the princess and the multitude thought that he will appear, having black horns, red eyes and long sharp claws. But to thier surprise, he was really handsome. He had long black hair that fell to his shoulders and the other to his back, his shoulders were strongly built, he was tall and his eyes were even more attractive, they were golden iris.

And his attire was all black.

He went straight to the king and slightly bowed. He was then showed to sit besides the table where princess Hazel was.

Hazel's pov;

I had to keep my head down since, I as a lady had to do so. At that time I hated being a lady. Then there was music and people seemed to enjoy themselves, there were dances also. All that time we didn't speak to each other.

I just didn't get why my father would let me get married to someone who is rumored to be a monster, but I only come to realize it's just about his selfish reasons, for him to be powerful after joining forces with another powerful kingdom.

He then broke the silence, "Well done you like music? " He asked.

"I do your highness, " I replied.

I then raised my head to look at him, I locked my eyes with his. I wasn't able to look away, they were just..... Beautiful, I have never seen anyone with Golden iris, is he even human?

Then it was time for gift exchange, where we had to exchange gifts. Then also I as the bride, had to entertain the groom and the other people.

I was really good at playing the flute, so I went in the middle, then a maidservant brought my flute. I took it, sat on the Royal carpet in Indian style and did my thing.

All the nervousness, the knot in my stomach faded away. When I always play my flute, I suddenly feel relaxed. Then people clapped as I was done. I then saw the prince looking at me, then he smiled.

But there was something worrying me, the wedding consummation. Is where, the bride and groom have already gotten married, that first night, they will have to lay together. But I didn't want to, no man has ever touched me.

When the wedding was over, I had to leave the castle and go to live with my husband, well I had to get used to that, even though I hate it and to live in his palace. I waved goodbye to my maids (Lydia and Ylva) and my mom the Queen (Teresa). I felt like crying. The prince helped me up the carriage and we drove off.
