The Ruffian Who Married Me
No party like a crashed party
Lady Adamus
This wait is really starting to piss me off.
Tapping feet uncontrollably
Sir Octavio
Lady Adamus, what seems to be the matter?
Lady Adamus
Oh nothing, just restless, sir Octagon.
Octavio looks stunned and felt slightly offended.
Lady Adamus ignored him and instead started piling her plate with the delicacies laid out in front of them.
Grand uncle
~ladies and gentlemen! ~
Grand uncle
It brings me great pleasure to announce my niece intended marriage!
Cheers and whistles fills the dining area.
Grand uncle
Right, the rings, please!
Grand uncle
Thanks good boy!
The old mad slaps the young worker with such a force he nearly falls over. Guffawing, the old man continued.
Grand uncle
With these rings, I bound this couple together. May their union bring as much joy as the first snow in winter and the first bud in spring as well as the first summer day!
Lady Adamus
When are they getting here?????
Sir Octavio
Did you say something, my dear?
Lady Adamus
No! I mean no. I just said that when are we going to eat here? *feeling sheepish*
Sir Octavio glanced down at her plate of pies and cakes. A hefty amount. He chose to ignore the unhealthy amount of food and listened to the elder speaking.
Grand uncle
Now, will the couple please step forward to receive the rings? *the crowd awed*
Lady Adamus took her sweet time getting up and moving to her uncle as slow as possible. Finally having enough of her antics, Octavio dragged her the rest of the way.
Grand uncle
*raising a white eyebrow for the grip the young man had around his grandniece.*
Each of you take a ring, and place it on the other's ring finger.
Lady Adamus
I'll go first!
*crowd laughed at her enthusiasm. *🗣
Grand uncle
By all means, girl! Give the young lady some applause!
Grand uncle
Now, young man if you would do the honor?
Lady Adamus was panicking inside. Shifting her hand constantly to make putting on the ring harder. Octavio removed it again. Inspecting the size. He tried once more. Going slowly.
Grand uncle
What the doogie? Who dares make such a loud entrance?
Everyone tried looking at the entrance of the hall. A figure coming closure and closer.
Lady Adamus
Finally! *she mentally admonished the late comer.
Grand uncle
Young man, just who the doogie are you?
~The crowd murmured coming up with their own scenarios. ~
CLICK CLICK CLICK * The heavy boots with metal soles made an easy sound against the marble floor. The man that walked in had a confident gate and a devious smirk. he stopped across the elder.
Bartan
A pleasure meeting you, old man. I'm here for the mother of my child.
servant
What did he just say?
servant
He's here for the mother of his child.
The whispers grew in volume. The elder looked the lad up and down.
Grand uncle
I doubt I would personally know her...
Bartan
Ohhhhh, but you do🎶
Lady Adamus
What the hell is this man on about? *mentally asking herself*
Bartan
Why, the mother of my child is your niece, of course!
Grand uncle
Which niece? *sounding skeptic*
Bartan
The one this man nearly got engaged to!!
Grand uncle
What is the meaning of this?
Bartan
The mother of my child was almost forced to marry another. That's what.
Lady Adamus
What the hell is going on???? *muttering under her breath.
Octavio turns to Lady Adamus. Glaring at her.
Sir Octavio
Are you the mother of his child??? *his voice trembled with suppressed anger.*
Bartan
Cause she is! I just said so.
Sir Octavio
You, shut your trapper! Answer the question my Lady. *he clenched his teeth.
Bartan
Thank goodness Lincoln warned me, I had to rush off my ship to stop this ceremony from happening!
Lady Adamus
Oh! Um, how lucky I am he did. I'm sorry, love, I tried my best to refuse.
Bartan
I'm here now, so don't worry. *grabbing her to his side*
Lady Adamus was rigid against his frame. It was silent. You could hear the flickers of each candle. Until a thud was heard. Panic soon spread. The elder had collapsed.
servant
Quick call for a doctor!
Bartan
Well, probably not the best way to meet the in-laws.
* he rubbed the back of his neck* facing the glare of the woman bent over her unconscious uncle*
Lady Adamus
Can someone please get the doctor!!!
