I wanted to be brave, but I couldn't stop myself crying. Luckily, no one was in the carriage. I cried my heart out. After some hours, I remove the ornaments as they felt heavy on me. I even removed the ones on my hair and tied it in a bun.
We rode for hours, I was looking outside through the window. I didn't want to sleep even though I was tired. I saw the sun setting and the sky changing colour. My husband rode faster as if he wanted to leave my kingdom. I couldn't blame him though.
We stopped when it was time for dinner. A guard helped me out. They all looked at me surprised. Was something wrong ?A man in military attire walked towards me.
"Please, this way your majesty." He walked in front of me.
Soon, I was taken to his majesty' s place. We were to done together. I bowed when I got to where he was. He showed no expression which I didn't care. I sat on the chair like cushion. A maid walked to our side. She had brown hair and black eyes. She greeted us before serving us.
"She's Dorcas, your personal maid. " He said. I nodded at him. She also looked at me surprised when her eyes fell on me.
I couldn't eat much like home. I was very sad thinking about my family. The guards set tents for us. I entered and Dorcas helped me change.
" Dorcas right?" I asked.
"Yes your majesty"
"Why was everybody looking at me surprisingly?" I asked.
"Mmm... in the laws of Ronoris, the husband was to remove your things, but you had already done it."
"You mean I was to wear all these heavy jewellers until we reach Ronoris?" I asked astonished.
"Yes, your majesty "
"I'm sorry. I didn't know. " I said calmly.
"Oh!" She yelled when she saw my hair.
"Don't be too surprised. I have a lot of hair."
My hair was very long and enough to reach my feet. Since young, I've had long hair. I grows back rapidly if I cut it wrongly. My hair only grows to my feet of u take good care of it.
"Please, tie it in a bun."
She did well in her work. I went to sleep. After three hours, I moved out to ease myself. A guard was doing the watching. I passed by a certain tent and overheard what he said.
"Won't you go to your tent, your majesty" asked the man who took me to the emperor for dinner.
"I don't want to be anywhere near her. She's a mannerless girl together with her family. I don't know why father agreed to this silly marriage . He should have killed then, and have their kingdom. In no time, I will destroy this agreement and take over their kingdom by killing them all." He(the emperor ) said coldly.
I gave an evil smirk after hearing that. He wanted to kill my family. He wanted to take over my kingdom. He called me mannerless together with my family. Insulting me, I don't care but my family, he has gone far.I don't like him and from what he as if, I will never like him.
I went to my tent. We continued our journey smoothly. Soon, we were in the capital of Ronoris. Though we ate lunch together, I showed him no expression.
Moving through the streets, the people were busy hustling and bustling. l looked at the glorified place many have been taking about. In seed, the capital of Ronoris was beautiful. I could see the mountains and hills afar from the carriage. I smiled thinking of how Asa would ha e been if he saw this. He has long to come to Ronoris' capital. I wished he was here with me. I made my mind to capture every scenario so that, I could describe it to him in full details.
We entered the palace' s gate. The massive palace was very beautiful. With the help of a guard, the one with black hair in his twenties, his hair was much short and his skin was dark, he helped me out of the carriage. He had a beautiful smile. I was taken to the empress' chamber which was beside the emperor's. Two maids accompanied Dorcas as they dressed me.
"Another celebration?" I asked.
"Yes your majesty. Your marriage and coronation." I could only mod. The other maids exclaimed as they also saw my hair. Dorcas' behaviour was a bit weird.
"Dorcas, are you from a noble family?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Yes your majesty. My family is mostly appointed as the ladies-in-waiting to the empress."
I was taken to the ballroomwhich was thrice Of her than mine. He was standing at the end like the one we did in Zin (My kingdom ). I gave no face as before.The priest did whatever he was to do and the wedding ended. I took the path of serving the empire with truth and just. The crown was placed on my head. It was getting late when the ceremony ended, but before that, the emperor danced with a Beautiful woman. She had blue eyes and brown hair with slander body. I might be 18th but I'm not a fool to understand. I was even excited. A free cha.ce for me to enjoy.
I was taken to my chamber after the ball. I didn't have time to know the royal family but the former emperor and empress were long dead. The empress died five years after the current emperor's birth.You might be wondering the name of the Tyrant Emperor. I also don't know much. I heard people call him Emperor Hezron Abiud Eliakim. His name was a little weird to mention.
Dorcas, Mabel and Samanta were my maid. They bothered themselves in preparing me for the wedding night. A tyrant Emperor wouldn't bother himself to come to a mannerless girl like me. I just let them do their job.
I waited only because I wanted to finish reading my book. It was around nine when I was done and I slept. I didn't bother waiting for any one . Their rules didn't affect me.
Meanwhile, Hezron instead of going to his newly wed wife's room, went to Vanessa's room. She was the girl he was dancing with. She was his lover. A cunning woman.
"Did His majesty miss me?" Asked Vanessa as she sat on his lap.
" I missed you badly." He said sweetly.
"I thought now that you're married, you would forget me." Sha said faking sadness.
"That can never happen. I lo e you. Just wait a little and I will sack her away and marry you."He kissed her on the lips.
"I know. I trust you." Vanessa als responded to the kiss.
