Chereads / Zeilici, / Chapter 19 - Engaged

Chapter 19 - Engaged

Mirasol sits at the head of the table, Next to the guy. There are white flowers around her chair. Me and Kaital sit next to each other. The guy whose name is Kyle. He looks at Mira and smiles, "Sir Leuoola, My bride to be is running, I see she took after you?" "Ho,Ho, you know, she only took my red hair, she has her mother's beautiful face." "Ha,ha, I suppose so." Mira bites her lip and clenches her hands, I look at her sully, I feel very bad, if i were her the comments would make me quite uncomfortable as well. We eat breakfast quietly as Kyle, his father, and Mira's father continue on. After breakfast… "Mira, You are to pick a lady to take you outside, and a lady to escort Kyle outside." Mira nods, "Zeilici, would you mind taking Sir Kyle." I am caught off guard. "Yes, It shall be no problem." I finally say. "WAIT!" Liam stands up abruptly. "Isn't it too unjust, father, to have a lady escort a man?" "Mr. Leuola seems to be in deep thought." "Oh, please, worry not Liam, I shall not do anything unjust to Lady Zeilici, I have a bride to be now don't I?" Liam sits down defeated. "So, It shall be, Zeilici, escort Kyle around the house and into the flower garden. I Nod, "Yes-" Madam Leuola gives me a look. "Uncle." Madam sighed in relief, I had no idea what she was talking about, Kaital saved me by whispering into my ear. I stood and began to walk Kyle. "So, are you the new member of The Council?" "Yes, Sir Kyle." "Oh, no need to speak so formally, we will be family soon right?" "Yes indeed." I was literally sweating the whole time. We start to make our way through the garden. "So, Lady Zeilici, Is your hair naturally pink?" "Yes indeed." He starts touching my hair. "Beautiful indeed." "Pardan?" "You hair, it is beautiful indeed." I gave him a forced smile. "Thank you, Here we are." I bow in front of Mira, then stand next to Kaital and Liam. Kaital then holds my hand. I smile. We hold hands while the ceremony continues, Kyle proposes to mira. She takes quite a while to answer till her father gives her a stern look. She eventually says yes and they kiss. Mira is now engaged, her future set in stone for her. After the ceremony mira runs away, I chase her, I find her in her room crying, cutting up her pretty dress with scissors. I sat next to her. I give her a hug. "It's okay Mirasol." She hugs me back while she cries, "It's not okay," Mirasol's soon to be mother in law comes into her room, "How disgraceful, a bride who runs away from her engagement, you are no more than a child, throwing a temper tantrum, ruining your gown." I smile at her, "I'm sorry, Mirasol is just shocked, I'll be sure to help her change out of this dress and into a new one." She gives me a disapproving glance before walking away, "Come Mira, let's find you something else to wear, I find another white dress in her closet and help her change into it. After I go stand next to Kaital and she apologizes to Kyle, they hold hands and next it's time to celebrate.
