I now pronounce you husband and wife..
Those were the only words I needed to finally realise that this was really happening..I was his wife and he was my hus.band.
I looked at my parents and I could see the sadness in there eyes..my father looked at me with 'sorry' written all over his face..my mother couldn't stop the tears flowing down her cheeks.."I'll be okay" I forced a smile..but deep down I knew that was a lie.
I gave them a hug not wanting to let them go," remember everything is going to be alright" my mother reassured me between her sobs..all I could do was nod..they finally released me from there embrace hesitantly.
I could feel the princesses giggle when Christopher passed them..Some were even jealous of me, I couldn't help but wonder how ironic the situation was. Seems like I was not the only one mesmerized by him.
I got in the carriage that was waiting outside and our journey to Ravoy began.
The man beside me was quiet, eyes fixed on the road ahead, his expression serious..the only words he had said being 'my princess' at the church..there was something dark about his aura..it commanded respect and could instill fear just by being in the same room as him.
I tried to start a conversation but I couldn't speak..something stuck in my throat..very soon I would become a widow..the thought of it made me want to throw up..how did I become so unfortunate..fate was punishing me but why? What did I ever do to deserve this?
But I had to do it, I had to end his life after I found what I was looking for..I had to save our kingdom even if it meant I would turn into a murderer.
I remembered how my father broke the news to me " King Christopher of Ravoy kingdom helped me with a problem I had years back and now he has come to collect his debt.He threatened to kill me and take over our kingdom if I don't give him the thing he wants" he paused "he wants to marry you" I was in disbelief "but father haven't you heard of the rumors? He's ruthless " I cried
"I know but it will only be temporary, Once you bring me the gem in his possession believed to make him strong we will be free..His known to take revenge on the people who betray him and to prevent this you have to end him because if you don't he will end us instead"
I stared outside the carriage, fighting the tears that was threatening to come out..Why me? all I wanted was to get married to the man I love and live happily ever after..Was Romeo and Juliet only a tale? Was the story a myth? Because even if it was I foolishly believed it. But this was my reality. I had to kill my husband. The only question left being, how do you manage to kill the most powerful man in the world?
