Your Majesty,. It's time.
Hmm', she nodded as a yes behaving a bit arrogant like a real royalty.
They walked her to another huge spaceful room in the castle
('Just how big is this castle' the engineer that helped with the construction must have charged millions'). She thought not paying attention to the people around her.
'Mira ,are you okay?',the charming creature asked snapping all the stupid thoughts away from her head.
'Huh', she muttered choking on her words.
('Did he just called me by my name?', it n looking so natural coming from him (. Her thoughts strayed once more and her thumping heart felt as if they would rip her chest out any moment.
'Are you alright?'he asked shaking her body this time.
'Huh?, Yes, yes I'm fine,i just got carried away .
'Okay?, If you need anything you can just ask me okay?.
'Hmm ' she muttered.
They both took their sit side by side on a cushion, laid on the floor.
A firewood was lit and a man of about 80years of age started sprinkling dust, Maybe ashes. I don't know, Some weird word started floating from his wrinkled mouth.
'Ehoa! I was mesmerized by those words, even though i couldn't understand a thing.
'Now the groom will swear an oath with his bride. Prince Ramiel?.
Hmm hmm, The prince cleared his parched throat.
I, prince Ramiel of Drenil makes an oath today to you my bride'lady Mira to be the groom you want to stay and fight through happy and sad time,. Muttered good and bad time. And I'll make sure you are always happy even if it takes me my life.
'
Now, the bride will make her oath'
Me? .she questioned pointing to herself, even though she's very well aware she was the one they were referring to.
'Its fine' Ramiel muttered under his breath, squeezing her hand to encourage her.
Mira on the other was shocked happy and anxious as hell, all the emotions were mixed making unable to know what exactly she was feeling,
Phew, she breathed in, digging out her confidence deep within her and ported it with a. 'I'M Re READY'. smile.
'And i make an oath to be there and fufil your wish and oath'
'Now the groom and bride will seal their agreement with their blood',. . Please stretch your right hand forward.
The groom stretched his without a second thought while Mira was hesitant on doing so.
('What are they going to do? Cut my hand with that over sharpened dagger?.No way am i going let it happen)
'Mira ?'.
(Damn it this prince seems to know my weak point, ). She cursed internally, having no choice but to stretch her hand forward..
Slash! Slash!.
Mhmm! She whimpered holding in the scream lumped in her throat, and also trying not to disgrace herself in front of the people around.
'The groom and bride will entwine their hands together mixing each other's blood and then dripping it in each other's mouth.
A frown immediately worked through her facial muscles as soon as those words flew out of the shaman's mouth. She felt nauseated as soon as the prince stretch forth his bloody hand, then she hesitantly opened her mouth as if tasting something bitter.
When it was her turn to do the same to her groom all her disgusted thoughts took a full stop, .The prince took her hand to his mouth and licked her blood as if it was ice cream.
She was shocked, shocked is an understatement compared with what she felt. She was speechless.
She was woken up from her reverie by the Shaman's voice.
'The ritual is over, the only thing remaining is for the couple to consummate their marriage'.
'Sure,thank you Shaman I'll tell one of the servant to see you to your home. The queen ranted happily, which was too obvious. As if she's waited centuries for this day.
('Consummate our marriage? , As in have sex?.).
Mira was now deep in thought
Fear, gripped her like a thousand volt.
What do I do?, What do i do?.
(There's no need to fret over nothing, all i have to do is just give my self a traumatic physical pain. Okay maybe not traumatic, as long as it pain. Heee,. Heee.Mira you're a genius).
'Uhm, Mira are you okay you've been spacing out a lot for just a day
Everything okay'.
'Yes.. yes'. Uhm hm she coughed clearing the mucus stuck in her throat. 'I'm fine thanks for asking'.
'Okay but if you need anything Mira or you don't like anything just tell me, Okay?'.
'Not again! Why?. Why does my name have to sound so delicious and natural from his lips,. Doesn't he know the effect it has on me?'.
Mira are you listening?'.he said holding her by her wrist and shooking her a bit.
'Uhm, it's nothing. I think I'm just thirsty she lied aa if it was a natural thing,. It came out smoothly as if she already planned what to say.
'Okay I'll tell the servants to get it' He said, sounding so concerned.
'No! . Humm, i mean you don't need to, I'll go get ir myself, ..... besides i think i need to take a stroll, all this is new and i really think i need to vent it out'. She quickly added trying to escape the suffocating area.
'okay if you say so, '.
'Hmm' she mumbled trying to sound elegant . But then like a snap of a finger all her elegance went out the window,. When she also see him standing up at first she thought he was also heading somewhere but then thoughts were proven when followed her, sticking close to her like a guard.
'Uhmm,. What are you doing?, to She blurted almost rudely
'Comin with you. He replied throwing her a. "WHERE ELSE" look.
"I mean. .. you don't need to, I'll be Okay on my own'. She blabber flashing an awkward smile and running off not giving him the chance to refuse.
Zamiel on the other hand had a look of disbelief with a smirk crawling through his facial muscles.
IN THE KITCHEN....
As soon as she set foot in the kitchen, all the servants stopped what they were doing all at once as if ordered to stop. It was as if someone muted everything, even a pin drop can be due to how silent it was.
'Your Majesty'. The brave one among them spat. 'What would her Majesty like to have'. He asked like a fool.
'Nothing , '. She waved him off looking a bit arrogant. 'You guys continue' she spoke, now turning to the other servants.
' You can also go ahead with your duty'. She turned to the brave servant noticing he kept following her all around like a pet dog.
'Yes Your Majesty'. The male servant quickly replied, happy with not being stuck with a royal.
After the servant left her,. Then she went with accomplishing her mission,. 'To GET A KNIFE'.
