WILL YOU MARRY ME?

The bard had stopped their instruments, the dancers and joke tellers stood still as if they've been hypnotized by something as they all watched me.

All movement had stopped since I asked Leviathan to marry me. The entire space was now so quiet as all eyes were on me.

Right now I wish more than ever to hide away from their eyes. A few of those gazes were glares and others were shock with their mouths hanging open

I know what they must be thinking, 'It's strange for a lady to ask a man to marry her', but I did, shamelessly, cause I was so upset and jealous of Lydia, which I now regret. Maybe I should have just walked away but I was only following what Gandhi had told me.

"Snatch away his unmarried title".

His black eyes narrow on me, and just like that, I know I've overstepped. My stomach tightens for an entirely new reason now. I've lost him. I've torn the playfulness off like a ragged strip of parchment. Handsome features harden, charm cooling like snow over coals.
