Chapter 4 The Wedding

°°°

{Coxy Bay}

"No! No!! No!!! This cannot be happening. I can't take this. His Highness is mine! He is suppose to marry me, he can't marry some-one else," Annica threw a vase and broke it. She continued scattering the room.

"Calm down, Annica. You have to take it easy," Goddess Tangia tried to persuade her niece.

"NO!!! I'm not going to take it easy, I'm mad, I can't take it," Annica grew her nails and tore her pillow, she poured the feathers all over the place until Goddess Tangia bounded her with her powers. Annica tried to free herself, but the bound was only getting tighter.

"Aargh!!" Annica screamed.

Goddess Tangia released Annica. Annica sat on the bed panting.

"Annica, I know you're upset, but you've got to take things slow," Goddess Tangia said and sat beside Annica who was still trying to calm down.

"It isn't easy for me Aunt. His Highness is mine, I won't let anyone take him away from me, you know why Aunt?.." Annica walked towards the window. "...because His Highness is mine. We were supposed to get married, I don't know why he called it off, Aunt, but... I need to get him back, I can't bear to see him get married to someone else. I might have offended him Aunt, but he can't marry someone else." Annica turned back to Goddess Tangia. "Please Aunt, tell me what to do." Annica wiped her face with her hands.

"Annica, we can't solve this if you continue like this." Goddess Tangia said.

"Then tell me what we need to do Aunt, I can't accept this, I've done a lot, I've sacrificed a lot, I can't bear to lose now."

"Give me time to think about something to do." Goddess Tangia said.

"How long Aunt? We have to think about something before the wedding."

"I'll try... come have breakfast."

"I'll come soon Aunt, let me get dressed."

Goddess Tangia left the room, Annica sat down on the bed, her hair a total mess.

"I can't believe you're leaving soon." Rella said, chopping vegetables.

"It's never going to feel the same if you leave." Felina said.

"Can you not make it sound like I'm about to die. I'm only getting married, I can always come see you, and I'm sure the Royals would allow you come visit." Quinneta said.

"You seem really happy about getting married." Felina picked the vegetables.

HAPPY???' It wasn't even close to her feelings. She felt weird, especially after her engagement with the Crown Prince. She felt he had awakened something that had been asleep since her birth. Her feelings after the engagement were odd, strange. It was like meeting with the Crown Prince had opened something which couldn't be closed, something interesting that had to be found out, and that was what made her drawn to the marriage. The Crown Prince was going to help her discover her true self, she was sure of that. She didn't want to care about what others said about His Highness. He could be scary, cold-blooded, all those wouldn't matter to her once she got married to him.

"...Quinneta, what have you been thinking about? I and Rella were talking but you weren't even listening. Are you thinking about the Crown Prince already?" Felinaasked.

"No, no, it's not that." Quinneta stood up and straightened her dress. "You both finish up with the cooking, I..I have things to do." She said and left.

"Oh goodness, what's she up to now?" Felina asked no one in particular.

Quinneta decided to sew new dresses for some people before she left, it would also take her mind off what she thinking.

The palace was filled up with people from different arms of Valey. People from Coxy Bay, Crocus, The Fitil, Ky Minot and Jotia.

Quinneta was in the palace dressing room along with her mother, Felina, Rella and some palace maids. She was dressed in a beautiful white high-waisted silk which the King had sent as a wedding gift to her. Her hair had been made by one of the palace maids and was decorated with diamond stones and a tiara. Her jewelries and slipper were made from pure diamond, and it was also gifted by the King.

After fully dressing her up, Lady Maquel took the white veil and covered Quinneta's face.

"It's time to go," she said.

Quinneta drew in a long deep breath and stood up. Her mother who was dressed in blue silk and silver slipper led the way with Quinneta behind her and the rest following behind Quinneta.

The wedding party was going well. Carrine sat at the most decorated spot in the palace hall. It was for the couple. He was dressed in a white silk robe matching his to-be wife's. His long black hair with the amaranth colored line had been carefully combed and complemented his looks a great deal. His looks was a feast to the eyes, a person couldn't get enough of looking. His wrist bracelet had the same carved diamond as his to-be wife's tiara. It was going to be a beautiful wedding indeed. The groom was already breathtaking, no one could compete with his looks. People had heard that he was getting married to the daughter of Crocus city's leader. Most people hadn't met her, so they looked forward to seeing the face of the bride who was getting married to the Crown Prince.

At one end of the room, a lady and her Aunt stood watching the whole thing with goblets of wine in their hands. They had actually failed to find a plan to prevent the wedding from happening, now they had to watch the wedding take place. But, that didn't mean the end. Annica wouldn't give up so easily on the Crown Prince, she wasn't the type to give up. They might have not been able to find a plan to stop the wedding from taking place, but that didn't mean they couldn't always look for one after the wedding. They would just let things go the Royals' way and would strike at the right time.

Finally, the bride arrived. The lady whom everyone had been expecting, the lady who was getting married to the Crown Prince.

The bride walked over, dressed in long white silk dress, with a veil on her head, appearing charming under the light.

Wow!! Just the look of her aura, without seeing the face that was hidden under the veil, people could tell how beautiful she was. She walked with a slow pace, just like a Royal queen would, increasing the heartbeats of men present at the party.

Quinneta walked over to Carrine, the flames in his eyes appeared beautiful, even the white robe suited him and complemented his looks.

Has anyone noticed him in black??

Carrine stood up, there was a long pause, before he finally stretched forth his hand. Quinneta placed her hands on his and they locked eyes through the veil.

Their stars...it's happening again.

They walked through the decorated path and went to where the King and Queen were seated.

Carrine opened her veil, revealing the most beautiful face you'll ever dream of. Her eyes, the lashes, the nose, the beautiful lips were perfectly arranged on her face.

The lady was indeed beautiful. If the Royals had chosen a bride for the Crown Prince based on looks, they really found the most suitable person.

The king gave the diamond goblet half filled with Royal couple wine to Carrine. Then, Carrine gave Quinneta to drink.

"Everyone, may I introduce Valey Crown Princess." His Majesty said.

There was a round of applause from the audience. The wedding ceremony continued after that.
