wishes on a starry night: the grand duke’s obsession

Why are you grasping me do hard, it's you wedding day Leona so I behave and put on your gown,we can't keep the groom waiting she said.what,I looked at my cousin rose, my wedding day but it was supposed to be her getting married today so have is it me instead,she looked at me with her bewitching olive eyes and just laughed,I was forcefully dressed up.I looked in the mirror, large purple eyes that symbolize the house of duke Carlos.people born with purple eyes in my family were rare and special because they possessed special abilities and it took more than a hundred years for a person with purple eyes to be born,and that's was me, everyone in the house of duke was happy especially my grandfather,a very big celebration was held that lasted three days. I was treated like a princess and pampered by everyone and a lot of people envied me.but when I was five there was no sign of any ability and that's when everything changed,my mother started ignoring me,as for my father he would hit me some time when nobody was around,for my grandfather he remained the same though he was the most disappointed in me but he was still nice to me,that what I thought but it was a lie.he sent me to the temple to struggle on my own,live was not that pleasant at the temple but it was better than home,at least nobody would hit me or beat me up.I spent my time learning different things everyday from history to language, although I liked languages the most, learning ancient language was something fun and exciting. Everything was fine for eleven years until I received a letter inviting me for my cousin rose's wedding .i was actually happy because I thought they had forgotten about my existence. Leona it time let's go she said at that moment I snapped back to reality and I felt my nerves breaking down and the worst I didn't even know whom my groom was and how he look like for rose to refuse to marry him,is he old, is he poor i don't mind if he is poor as long as he treats me well even though I know that will never happen.walking through the corridor I remembered how I used to play in this house , how eleven years passed like that but also how they used to treat me. Reaching the door I saw my father duke Carlos standing and looking at me as if he has seen something disgusting, I was hurt because I didn't expect him to react that way, I thought he would be glad to see me or at least fake it. He walked toward me and grabbed my hand, stop shivering Leona, you better not embarrass the family if you don't want me to disown you so make sure the marriage is complete and remember to say yes,got it or should I repeat it since you are so useless why don't you be useful today.i was finding it hard to walk since the gown was too heavy and I felt like falling but my father was holding my hand so hard like someone who is about to run away but I don't have that gut , I know what they would do to me if they catch me, that will be my end and I don't want it to happen. As I kept walking down the aisle, I kept seeing new faces as if I didn't know anyone which was strange, I also saw my grandfather and the rest of the family members and some of my relatives, I mean everyone was present except my mother and that has never happen before. they were looking at me with strange looks and pitiful eyes like someone who is about to be sacrificed,without realizing it we had reached the priest,infront of me was a tall tanned skin man with silver hair and deep blue eyes with a beautiful face that looked like it was curved by God. He kept staring at me emotionally.Done looking he said, bringing back to reality.he held by hand and pulled me closer to him. Roi Ivan will you take Leona Carlos as your beloved wife,yes. Leona Carlos will you take roi ivan as your husband, at that moment I felt the hall so quite that I can only hear my own heart beat, before hearing my father calling my name then I said yes. It was finally over but then the priest said you may kiss the bride, before I would react I felt soft warm lips on my own.
