Chapter Seventy Six

Wow ,the garden is full of blossoms that blushed in myriad shades to form a beautiful carpet of colour .

Oh my God ,this statue looks beautiful .It's hair is crowned with ivy ,it's fingers are turned into green with bryony and your walls are redden with berries .

The scene is so beautiful Wales ,I have never seen such a beautiful scenery like this .It might be a small courtyard but then ,it contains millions of beautiful things .I just love it .

"Oh really ,if you truly do then I have no doubt that you will like the one over there too ,Wales pointed at the other end of the wall " .

The cloud that hangs upon the heart and round the mind .

Cleared from the north and in that height ,the sun appeared and reddened great .

With rubies then ,attend to me now .

"Where's the continuation ,Wales ? "Krystal asked after reading it ...

There it is babe ,look at the other end and read what it has there ."

'When the sun -god saw that ,and the reddening sky and the waning moon seem to thaw ,he called the Hours to yoke the horses .

But I will make you blush ,nay I will make you redden all over .

Ere this had redden 'd with my odious blood so God ,please redden your pale blood .'

Whatever you read is stirring ere before the break of day.

"Stirring ere before the break of day ? I think it's a piece of story because I have read the title somewhere Wales but where is actually what I don't remember ...Krystal added ".

It was actually a piece of a story written by one of the great ancient historians expressing his diverse views about a relationship .

Krys ,I decided to write these on the walls just to tell you that ,we have one thing in common and that's the habit of reading historical books .

Every feature of that statue talks about what I love about you .

When I first set my eyes on you ,I began to mould it and I did that with love .

" Everything here ? ..."

Yes everything Krys .I love red so i decorated here red but I know you love blue and gold colours .

"How did you know that ..?"

The way you chased the firefly and the blue butterfly in the garden last time gave me a clue .

Look at these ...

"Fireflies ?

You actually caught fireflies for me ,I just can't believe it " .

Krys ,whenever our lights are out in our lives ,these fireflies will give us light .

They are the symbols of light in our love .

I brought you here because I wanted you to know everything that concerns the one with whom you have fallen in love with .

I have never loved anyone in my life the way I have loved you and that's why ,I don't want you to miss a single detail about me and neither do I want to miss any single detail about you too .

"Wales ,I'm a twin .Myel is my twin ,she's been married off to the king of Ulka Kingdom.

When I was eight ,I tried running away because my father wanted me to marry your father .

After I was caught ,I was kept in a tower and when I became fifteen ,I was married off to him .

Elsa and my brother Juan were the only friends I had then but now ,I have a whole family of Laura ,Lydia ,Sara and many more.

I have never loved anyone in my life apart from when I set my eyes on you and fell for you .

You were the first man in my life to have me in your bed and you know ,there's this feeling of happiness and joy that encourages me each time to fight for this relationship .

Once I escape from here ,I will live a happy life with my sister since our mum was killed at six by our heartless father. "

My childhood was rather joyful because I had my mum ,aunty Romina ,Franca my twin and I loved playing with Dimples a lot .

My brothers disliked me from the day I became crowned prince till now .I'm used to them actually hating me .

I fell in love with Carmen who happens to be the step sister of Rhian .

I wanted to marry her but Rhian manipulated her father's mind and got Carmen married to another prince .

This was because she wanted to marry me and couldn't stand losing me to Carmen .She had her way and we got married but I couldn't love her .

I hated her to the inner core of my soul and even now ,I still can't love her .

During my time with Rhian ,I would rather spend my time with my mistresses than see her face .

But everything changed once you entered into my life ,I loved Carmen but then that love is not compared to what I feel about you because you have made me feel what no one else could.

I was quick tempered ,filled with so much pain from my brothers but you have thought me how to face situations even without a sword and an arrow .

After hearing all this ,would you still want to be with me ?

"It would be my worst mistake to let you go Wales ,my worst mistake because I love you and everything that has got to do with you .

I want to live the rest of my life with you ,in difficult and soft times ,I will never let you go".

Is that a promise ,Krys ?

" It's a vow Wales ,my first vow to you ...."

I have got something for you Krys ...

'What is it ? '

Close your eyes and just stretch forth your hands .

'Once she did ,she felt something move on her ring finger '.

Would you marry me Krystal ?

'Wales asked kowtowed in front of Krystal who had teary eyes .'

Many historical books may frame love as friction or an imagery of fairies and elves but I found what love is by meeting you .

Thoughtfully ,I have thought and I want you to be my wife .We will be Wales plus Krystal forever .

Our story will be a tale to generations to come because I love you .

Please don't cry Krys ,your tears are really expensive for me .

"No Wales ,it's just that ,I wondered what I did for life to make me this lucky .No one has ever treated me like this .

Not your father nor mine so even if you don't ask me ,my answer is a big 'YES ' Wales .

There's no priest to officiate our marriage ,no family members to bear witness but we will get married while things of nature bear witness to this Wales .

We will perform our own ritual Wales and no one would ever break us apart .

'Krystal tried fixing Wales' ring finger in her ring and Wales did same to her in his ring and as they did ,they both bled at the same spot .

As they continued doing so ,they both broke the pearl ring that King Duxan fixed on Krystal's finger and that which Rhian fixed on Wales finger .

The action of thunder and lightening followed suite quickly and it began to rain heavily as Wales and Krystal stood still starring at each other with their hands intertwined in each other .

There was a fresh air which blew in every area of the kingdom that everyone felt .'

*******

Aha....aha ,Queen Romina ,is everything okay ?

Martha they have formed a sacrament by breaking their marriages with blood .

" Whom are you talking about ,my Queen "

Wales and Krystal .They have married with nature bearing witness .

This is why there is a new atmosphere in the kingdom .

I need to talk to Marga now ..

*******

Aunt ,did you also feel the sudden change of atmosphere in the kingdom ?

'Yes Marga ,I felt it and that's why I came here .'

What's happening aunt ?

Does it concern Krystal and Wales?

"Yes ,it does concern them ,a voice from behind spoke " .

'Priest ...Queen Marga called and quickly run to him '.

I first appeared in your dream Queen Marga and I told you that what destiny has set it eyes on ,it can't be termed a mistake .

Your son has married Krystal by breaking the pearl ring that her husband fixed on her hands .

Krystal has also broken the marriage of your son and his wife .

They both bled at the same spot which means that they have formed a sacrament of their own .

Nature has bore witness to their love because it is destined .They were empowered by nature and this fresh breath means freedom .

Krystal is no longer married to the king and the prince is no longer married to his wife .

When you set your eyes on them ,bless them just as their destiny says and leave this kingdom within eight days if you want to save their lives .

This is because everything will be visible in eight days ,their secret relationship will be out and humanity will want to destroy them .

*******

While the stars bear witness to this day with the moon ,water and fire,I promise you that I shall be your greatest shield in all your life .

'I will love you at all times ,during our good and bad times ,Wales .'

I will never hide anything from you whether it"s the worst thing or good thing that occurs in our journey of marriage .

"I promise you that ,I will save you from all troubles and I will exact my vengeance on anyone who attacks you ,Wales " .

Today ,I will be the one who will wipe away your tears and make sure that your safety becomes my priority Krys .

I love you from the bottom of my heart and the mark on your ring finger is our oath of marriage .

"I love you too Wales ....they said and they kissed each other ."

********

Marga ,they are coming from the window ,Esther told Queen Romina and Marga referring to Wales and Krystal .

*When they entered ,even without a word Queen Marga and Romina blessed them * .

"Bless you my children ,may the light shine in your life always ,they said while Krystal and Wales kowtowed touching their feet ."

Have this ,Queen Marga said handing Wales a pearl ring . Now fix it on her finger and make her yours forever .

"But mama ,I have fixed a ring on her right index finger and her left is bleeding ,so how can she wear it ? "

Son ,Queen Romina interrupted .Your bleeding fingers will soon heal .

That indicates the bond which you both share and witness to your marriage but if you fix this ring on her finger ,King Duxan won't see anything because it will cover up your mark of marriage.

"Have this Krystal ,Queen Marga handed her a ring and asked her to fix it on Wales' finger ."

'They both exchanged the rings and once again were blessed by Queen Marga and Queen Romina .'

**********

So you got married with nature bearing witness ,Laura asked ?

We know because Sara explained to us what the feel was ,Lydia added .

"Since you know ,why don't you bless me then so that Wales and I will get a better life together ,Krystal added .

You are my friends so blessings from you will be a privilege".

No Krystal ,we can't do that because we are your maids and we are not even privileged to have you touch our feet.

You consider us friends but then ,you know the actual thing is that ,you are superior to us .

" No you aren't my maids and i don't care about what others say Sara ,you are my family so please bless me .
