I pronounce you as husband and wife

Her tender hands rose to touch the shimmering dress.

"Is there any special event, mother?", She asked her mother, being concerned of all the decorations she saw in and around their home. Their old shelves were touched and made spotless by the maids, the China plates which y/n's mother ordered has reached its destination this evening. The attire of both her parents were changed and more after The costumes of maids were also changed. "Yes, daughter", her mother said having a very proud smile on her. Y/n the youngest daughter of the Kim family was an offering to the Man of the realms. Having fullfilling their promise,time has come for their younger daughter to get married. The household was celebrating, however the lady of the house was pretty concerned of their daughter. After all she was only 18. She was about to marry a man twice her age. Thoughts reverberated in her.

"What celebration, mother?", Being the curious daughter that she was, asked her mother hoping for an answer.

"You are leaving this home", the mother carassed her daughter's pink cheeks.

"No! Why will i leave you mother?", Her eye brows moved upwards while she asked it.

"You are getting married, Y/n", her eyes blinked for a multiple times after listening to her mother. She has read tales and novels about marriage, love, family but implementing the words in life was a new experience.

"Welcome, my lords", y/n watched from the shades of her light coloured curtain, her entire Household bowing to the people who came out of the huge golden caravan. The people sat on the new sofa covers her mother has put on this morning.

"Is that our daughter in law?", A tall lady in white, pointed towards the side of the curtains behind to which Y/n stood. She gulped her lumps down and clicked her heels on the ground.

"My heavens, she is like the spring flower which has blossomed this season, so pretty ", told the lady. Y/n discovered that this was her mother in law. She was called the "queen".

"Jin, You must talk to her", the queen pushed the two into y/n's chambers. Y/N was however was always interested in showing her chambers which was decorated with all her favourite pictures and quotes. Her hands guided him to her room. The tall, broad shouldered, self centred man, had the walk of the gods visiting earth. He sat on the silky, bedcovers which were on the bed. He pushed out a deep sigh. Soon he had an expression of regrets and looked upon Y/n who stood there viewing her man with whom she was about to marry. His eyes went tender at the sight of a small girl.

"What's your name?", Y/n asked, as if she was talking to someone of her age. He was stunned with her tone ,it was only his mother and father who used to talk casually as such , no one else did. He grinned and said his name. She nodded as if she will remember his name from now on.

"Young lady, what do you do?", Jin asked wanting to have a real conversation.

"I sleep and eat and also go out with my friends", she said.

"I see, but my lady, what do you do for a living?", He put the first question again but rephrased it.

"Living? I eat.", She said smiling widely. Jin was at the point to laugh louder but he supressed it and passed the question with a nod.

"I pronounce you as Husband and Wife", the priest declared to which the entire crowd roared. At the edge of her eyes she could see her mother crying and wiping her tears with a white hand kerchief.

"If she didn't wanted me getting married why did she arrange my marriage in the first place", she threw her bouquet on the huge bed of their master bedroom. Jin who was struggling with his tie , flinched when he heard the shriek.

"Sorry?", He asked.

"My mother, she didn't wanted me to get married but i have no idea what has made her change her mind", her anger was visible when she spoke. Jin's eyes made a tender curve while he listened to her.

"You don't like the room?", He asked looking down upon her body which was laying lazily upon the bed beside her thrown bouquet.

"This is definitely a great room, sir but my room had all those pictures and-", she grumpily turned her body over. Jin had that fatherly smile on his face who had to convince his stubborn daughter.

"Listen , Y/n, we can decorate this room exactly the way you want perhaps we can even make it better if you say", he said. He kneeled down on the ground to touched her body. She excitedly woke up and sat to view him.

"Really? You are going to help me decorate my room?", She asked to which she earned a nod from him. Her face gleamed with joy.

"You just get off from your wedding dress, princess", he said looking at her uncomfortable figure Inside the huge dress which is extremely longer than her entire body. The maids were arranged to look after the new lady of the house. Jin awkwardly sat on the rose petals sprinkled bed. It was awkward for him, definitely to share a bed with a small kid who is like a daughter to him. He welcomed Y/n with a mellow smile. Uncomfortableness was visible in her eyes. He was concerned.

"Can I know what's bothering you, Princess?", he asked. Her hands were on her torso, as if she was trying to cover herself from him. He viewed on her in nightgown. She wore a pink lacy gown, which for the point has complimented her tender, child like skin. Parts of her breasts were visible to his eyes and moreover The cloth ended till her upper thighs. He smiled acknowledging her discomfort in the garment and assured safety to her. The prince himself picked a nightgown for the princess to wear. Though y/n didn't notice it, it was a matter that has to be appreciated, since this prince never cared for others but himself. Now the question arose was how to unwrap the garment that she was wearing. Jin grinned at the clueless y/n.

"Come here", he asked her to which she obeyed. She allowed her back to see his face. His hands pulled the draps of her clothes and it magically fell till her waist. He eyes seeked for the trouble the cloth faced which didn't allowed it to fall on the ground. He saw y/n's hands clutching on it.

"Y/n?", He asked wanting to know the fear that has aroused in her.

"Mother has said not to show my body to anyone. Specially my torso and below", her eyes didn't meet him which is why he has no idea how she is looking like right now while she is talking something as such.

"I am an exception", he said while waiting for her to loosen her grip over the dress.

"I don't believe", she said. He could somehow imagine those grumpy chubby cheeks which she makes while she is mad.

"Fine then. You have to only let it drop and change it into this gown, you can probably do it by your own", he handed over her the dress which he picked earlier. She ran to the stone toilet which was attached to the room. He patiently waited for her and then she came to him.

"I was said this is my room", she said taking a seat beside him.

"Yes it is, princess", he said.

"Then.. you should sleep now", she said Waiting for his further actions. Her eyes froze when he pulled the blanket of her bed and drowned himself in it.

"Why are you sleeping in my room?", She questioned him being impatient.

"Princess, this is also my room. We will share this from today on", the words which he told were indigestable.

"Mother has told never to sleep with a man besides father", she hoped for him to leave her room.

"I told you earlier, my Princess, I am an exception. If you doubt me, you can ask your mother, yourself", he said, that was definitely not a lie since his expressions looked genuine. She wasn't ready to share her bed with anyone if not her family. She darted her eyes towards the man who is on her bed. She puffed her face as if she has forgotten to swallow the water she has taken. She slowly layed her body and pulled the ends of blanket to herself. She rounded herself inside it as if she was cocoon. Jin expressed his saddeness of being lost to a blanket stealer.

The next morning y/n rose with a huge bundle of blankets over her body. Maids elder to her, stood facing her.

"Good morning, Princess", the fair one spoke. Y/n rubbed her eyes, yawning hardly. She had a very good sleep. Her maids sat on the bedroom and helped her do her morning routine.

"Why are you doing my hair before a bathe?", She asked. The maids giggled whispering into each other's ears. She was wrapped in a beautiful silky smooth red robe. She pushed open the huge bath house. She loved bath houses. Her legs excitedly ran till the end. As she reached in, she saw the back of him. The broad shoulders. The anklets she wore informed him her arrival. He turned to face her. Her eyes looked disappointed.

"Come in, princess", he asked with his markable smile.

"Me? With you?", She asked being angry. He smiled and nodded lightly.

"It's one of the rites ,royal families must follow after the wedding night.", He patiently explained her. Her legs slowly entered the tub full of warm water. The same flower which were sprinkled on the bed last night was inside the water, floating.

"Are you not going to remove your garments?", He asked her. Her hesitation was proved. He smiled widely and slowly moved towards her floating body.

"It's okay ", he smiled and pierced his sight into her's.

"Can you swim?", He asked. Her head moved from left to right. "Let's take lessons from now", he said not wasting a minute. Her smile appeared on her face. He touched her legs and waist and helped her float on the surface of the water body. He told her poses and pace she must learn.
