Ardis held Claudius arm very tight as she tried her best to walk elegantly without giving the tiniest hint of her nervousness or pain, After all that was what a princess does in the first place ...
Hide your pain ,smile and pretend that everything is always a bed of roses in the palace was all that Ardis had ever done .
She looked around and was surprised to see a lot of people present. After all when news had spread that she was going to be marrying the new profound king of the mythical creatures .,Most kings and queens of the neighbouring kingdom had refused to come for fear of their lives and for the safety of their kingdom ..
So she immediately guessed that vampires were the real guests here and the hair on her neck stood up out of fear , For she must be wondering how badly they must be holding their selves from not causing war or killing the humans
After walking down the aisle ,She sighted the man she was going to get married to ,The so called Devil in form of man . As usual his aura was very lashing and intimidating exerting a kind of dominance that always made others inferior to him ...
Poor Ardis immediately felt goosebumps, imagining how the rest of her life would be spent with him. As usual he was wearing a regal attire but this time a neck tied robe was attached to it .... With cufflinks and pendant like accessories adorning the robe ...
Suddenly she realized he wasn't wearing a mask and she was immediately enthralled by his mettalic silver eyes that was boring deep into her soul... His jaw sharp enough to cut diamonds clenched for a bit as he held his head and shoulder high waiting for his prey to take the last step before falling into the bait
Ardis placed her hand into his extended hand as she let go of her Father's arm before shakingly accepting the hand that was extended before her.... She stared at her father for a moment as she saw his mouth move like he was apologizing before he went to sit on the throne with the rest of his wives ,consort and concubines
Ardis almost jolted when Hell squeezed her hand tightly causing her to bite her lips. For Ardis, The painted marble floor had never been more exquisite , She watched intently as she stared at her reflection on the reflective marble floor , And if someone else had asked her what she had saw;
She would have told the person that she had seen nothing else but a broken , worthless , shattered and miserable piece of thing that was about to be sold to the devil ...
" I Ardis Bartleby_Everson , Princess of the Fyn Kingdom agrees to the wedding and I promise to stick by my husband ,whether in health or sickness, danger or safety as his lawfully wedded wife " Ardis said with a sorrowful voice clenching her wedding gown so hard that her knuckles had turned white before extending her hand to accept the symbol of sorrow called ring
Ardis stared at Hell's wicked face and realized that something was off about him, His face showed not the tiniest hint of Mercy and his enchanting eyes were as frozen as glaciers floating on the Artic . With the shade of the sun casting a silhouette on his face, He looked more mysterious and dangerous than ever causing Ardis to take a sip of her own saliva
It was as if he was telling her that
'Welcome to the devil's abode '
