The Beginning (4)

He was the same man from earlier, the one who my father surbodinate was having a conversation with. He really couldn't be the groom! Right??

The guest stared at him suprised as well and began to whisper hysterically into each other's ear. I rubbed my eyes to make sure this isn't a joke. Just like me, they must have also been expecting someone with black horn, fangs, long sharp nails, red eyes, serpent like tongue to enter the room and not some talk, elegant looking man. He must be the god of perfection!!

Not at least was he bothered by whispers or stares, he walked majestically towards my father, taking each step with full confidence.

" Your majesty", he said, bowing slightly

I dropped my jaws and so did the guests. ' what effontery!'

No one bowed slightly to the king. This handsome man was truly fearless and being disrespectful even to the father of the lady he is getting married to. I already got a bad feeling about him. He was daring with his actions.

He must have noticed people reactions; it was so obvious, but he didn't seem to care. My father on the other hand didn't react. He just gestured towards me. As I saw him turn to me, I looked down quickly then heard the clicking sound of his footsteps as he neared me , sitting on the other end of the table facing me.

He didn't utter a single word, not even a compliment.

' wasn't I dressed up so he could compliment me?'

That's it!! That's my life now, moving from frying pan to fire. From a home like prison to my husband who doesn't even seem to acknowledge me. He could have at least told me his name.

I don't think my father ever made mention of his name not like I even gave him the chance to do so. I had fought, cried and threw tantrums the day he said I was getting married.

" Today I gather us to celebrate my daughter's wedding to the Prince of Milla" father spoke once everyone was seated. He raised his golden wine cup.

" Let the ceremony begin, and enjoy yourself "

People clapped while dancers and musicians walked in to entertain the guests. People seemed to enjoy themselves. I of course couldn't see since I was supposed to keep my gaze down, because 'that's what a lady is supposed to do'. Well then, I hate being a lady.

Soon it was time for the tea ceremony. I was sitting in a chair in the middle of the room, everyone attention were directly on me. The guest would sit and enjoy their tea while I would have to entertain them. I started playing the piano. Soon my nervousness disappeared. I loved playing the piano and loved the sound of it.

Closing my eyes, I let the sound take me far away, to a peaceful place. Now and then, I would hear people praising me through my haze, and they all applauded me when I was done.

Opening my eyes, I found him staring directly at me. He wasn't applauding, but there was a hint of smile on his face...
