Chapter 3 - Here's To Being Married 2

Never in my life did I ever feel that a morning could be so ..relieving.

Someone..no, something,chocked me last night..Even though I had woken up this morning to a quiet room and with the hopes that everything had been a fucking dream., the sight of myself in the mirror Infront of me proved otherwise..

My hair is roughed up.,my eyes are swollen, probably from all the crying that happened the night before .,and my neck..Fuck.my neck is all red and painful .

"Fuck."I cursed as I sat myself on the bed,owing the dark silky sheets for the comfort that they currently offered.,nobody had come into the room...,no maid.,no Emily.,no nothing.and it all felt...weird., considering I had been woken up to dress for the day and have breakfast every single day of my twenty-three years of age, it felt weird to me not having the princess treatment..Plus the odd feeling in me that told me this wasn't gonna change anytime soon.

I willed myself to get ready. Brushing my teeth and sitting myself in the tub after preparing it for myself..*Sigh*.....I kept willing my mind to stop,but it kept drifting to the memories of my horrific wedding night.,making evident goosebumps rise on my skin.

Getting out of the tub after almost an hour of socking myself in it was exhausting..

*Sigh*

Dressing myself up in a simple sleeveless green dress,whilst trying my best to look a little more decent was harder than I could have ever imagine..

*Sigh*

An hour later

"Knock.Knock"

"Y..yes..umm..come in." I said as I quickly rose up from the position I had put myself in for the past hour of visibly glaring at the ceiling.

"Crown princess.."Emily said as she bowed to me.,I also bowed back.

"Please follow me out for breakfast.."she said as she proceeded to walk out of the room.

"O..ok..umm..Emily?"I called her after long contemplation of what I was going to ask.making her stop right by the doorway.

Why hasn't anyone come this morning?

Where is my husband?

Who chocked me?

Is there anytype of protection around the room at night?

"I..did..I.."

"Oh.. nevermind.i'm sorry."I said as I watched her give a brief nod before she kept on walking whilst I followed.

Emily is a very beautiful woman with a petite body combined with long silky red hair.,she walked me through the hallways before standing outside a large door which I assumed to be the breakfast hall.,before she moved sideways and bowed her head.

"Oh ..umm..Emily?"I said to her and she proceeded to look at me before bowing her head again.,making me take it as a sign to speak.

"Why did no one come dress me this morning."

I asked and she roughly raised her head to look at me before her face turned all red.

When I signed those papers I expected...what?..what did I expect.?

Sweet caring people?

A nice atmosphere?

A place where I could adapt If I tried off of my horse?

This place was nothing of such..

I felt my eyes occasionally draw to my husband, reminding me of the few  words to describe our first meeting

A few minutes ago

Emily's face turned all red and even the guards around us bowed with sweat on their forehead..what?

My eyes visibly draw down as a  frown forms on my  face causing my mouth to run up forcibly as it tried to force the question 'what is going on?' out of me,enabling me to finally catch a glimpse of Emily's frightened eyesight. Making me imagine there was something scary behind me.

"Greetings crown Prince."the guards along with Emily greeted after having collected their fallen composure, forcing me to turn back to face the man behind me..and there he was..,The crown Prince.My husband.Kōhei.,I recognized him since he was wearing the royal attire of the Southern Kingdom in the company of two men,them being Hugo and Keith..(Keith being the Crown's prince warrior bodyguard.)

A blush crept up my face at the visibly drowning handsomeness this men were blessed with, Hugo with his green eyes.,muscular jaw and a body like the Dom alpha girls from my highschool would usually read about and obsess over from their mangas

Then came Keith,with his sweet cute yet devilish looks making him appear as if he was the devil's lovely sweet angel,,like.. like those red flags in manga's that you couldn't help but term green.

And Finally the crown Prince.. Kōhei..he looked like the devil himself,if he ever had a face.,so handsome.The crazy novel, mAnga,comic reader inside me wanted to pat myself In the back..my husband is award winning to all handsome men.So..HANDSOME.

And just when I started to get all red like chilli,Hugo raised his brow at me chronically, as if he had spotted all of my thoughts. Making my red face get even redder,

Then they passed by me,each one of them..making me realize they had only stopped for a second.

"H..H..Husband.."I whispered as I felt my heartbeat to the end of the world.

Well Damn..

Here's to being Married.
