★★★
Two days later***
The awaited day that Lady Catherine had been waiting for finally arrived.
Today is her royal wedding with youngest prince of Eldrida kingdom.
Lady Catherine was sitting in front the dressing mirror.
The maids helped her wear her wedding gown. She was wearing a strapless mermaid gown made of Layers of delicate ,ivory silk.
The fitted boned bodice brought out her curves , while the flowing, floor sweeping skirts falls in soft luscious folds to the ground. The strapless neckline frames the bride's face, showcasing her radiant complexion and sparkling eyes. The neckline is edged with delicate, beaded lace that adds a touch of whimsy. A delicate, sparkling silver belt cinches at the natural waist, defining the bride's slender figure and adding a touch of glamour to the overall design.
The sweeping train flows from the back of the gown, with layers of sheer, silk tulle that create a regal, ethereal effect. The train is adorned with delicate, sparkling crystals that catch the light as the bride moves.
Once the maids were done dressing her up, they helped her with her white veil and tucked it on her half packed black hair while letting the down parts of her falls softly on her back.
After that, the maids applied light makeup on her face to enhance her natural beauty. Even though it was only a little touch of face powder with a transparent lipgloss applied on her lips, Lady Catherine was extremely beautiful.
Once they were done, the maids bowed their heads at her before leaving the room.
Lady Catherine felt as if a huge ice block was being poured on her. She could feel her heart raced and at the same time trembled at her nervousness. Herr heart was beating wildly in her chest as if any moment from now it will burst out out from her ribcage.
She remained seated there for what seems like forever until she heard the door creaked opnee and she heard the voice a lady which she could see.
"My lady , it's time. The prince has arrived".
Oh no, the awaited moment was here. She was slowly dreading for her life. What will happen to her now if she marries someone rumored to be a mysterious monster at day.
How will she survive? Or how will she cooe? What will people refer her as? Is it a wife of a monster who feeds on all Humana? Some many theories flooded through her brain until she heard the lady speak,
"My Lady, are you ready"?
Lady Catherine who was lost in thoughts was pulled out from her train of thoughts before slowly stepping up. She held the hem of her wedding gown before follow the lady that has come to get her for wedding procession.
She was slowly walking on the corridor. With every step she took, she could feel her heart raced tremendously out of fear and nervous. Fear of the unknown was eating her up that she suddenly felt dizzy, but she managed to hold herself tight from fainting. It will be a huge disgrace and scandal if a princess falls on her wedding day.
With her slow pace and thoughts drifted away, she didn't realize she was standing in front of the double doors of where she will be getting married.
"My lady, are you ready"? The lady asked again and Catherine gulped hard trying to calm her self. She could feel her stomach turned.
What was this feeling? She thought and slowly stared at the lady before nodding her head.
With that one signal, the double doors opened with Catherine slowly stepping inside with one of her feet in before fully stepping inside. The moment she stepped inside, she felt all eyes on her and her heart which had slowed down began to race rapidly.
She could hear murmurs from the crowds.
Even though she was walking at a very slow pace, she heard whispers like, her parents don't love her anymore to sell her off to a prince with a rumor. The comments made her stomach twist and she gulped hard before finally stopping in front of the alter.
This was it. It was time, it was tike to seal a lifetime with a man she knew nothing about or maybe not, someone who has a rumor. She didn't want to think too much and was about to take a step on the stairs when she saw his stretched hand towards her.
She gulped hard and slowly but carefully placed her hand on top of his large hand that was outstretched for her to grasp.
The moment she placed her hand on his, she felt his warmth spread through out her body. She had expected his hand to be cold like a monster that he was rumored to be,but his hands felt humanly warm.
He helped her up while her gaze was fixed on the floor.
Do you enjoy looking at the floor? He asked with his deep, and rich voice that sent cold waves through her spine.
Catherine slowly raised her head her eyes slowly looking at a pair of dark black eyes. She couldn't see his whole face because of the black mask he was wearing. His dark black eyes were like black coals tatt could suck a soul in. It was as if he could see through her.
Once she was standing in front of him and staring at him, the wedding procession began.
The people were dancing while some entertained the guests.
Catherine and the masked man sat down, then soon than expected they were both called to come and dance the traditional dance. The wedding went well and soon it was over. She didn't even get to see the face of her new husband, except his dark black eyes.
Catherine was standing at the entrance of the castle that was once her home one last time before she slowly turned to look at her new husband wearing black mask that hid his face except his dark eyes that looks like magnetic force on her.
Her husband outstretched his hand for her, but Catherine was still contemplating until she heard his deep voice that did strange things to her body which she couldn't explain.
Her heart raced tremendously as if it will explode but she managed to hold her resolve before placing her hand against his warm large hand to grasp.
Once he was holding her, he took her carefully in front of the carriage and made her sit inside while he followed suit. The moment they were settled in ready for the journey to her new home, new kingdom and everything new to her,the coachman began to pull the reins of the horse to allow the carriage to start moving.
