TO DINE WITH THE KING 1

"Raise and shine." I groaned at the voice that had disturbed my peaceful sleep. I hadn't even closed my eyes until this morning, yet I'm being deprived of sleep.

"You should wake up now, I have to get you ready for breakfast with the king." I sat up immediately, my lazy eyes scanning her.

"Why do your eyes look so swollen, don't tell me you've been crying the whole night," I said nothing to her.

"Where is Hannah?" I peeked around the room.

"She has leg pain from yesterday."

"My wedding is tomorrow." I voiced getting out of bed. By this time tomorrow, I would be preparing to get married to Asmodeus as it should be.

"Then you should work more on looking presentable. At least your father will see you get married before he's executed.

" What are you talking about?"

"The king has withdrawn his sentence till after his wedding. He said he wants his bride to be the happiest tomorrow." She smiled stepping back into the bathroom.
