Chapter 2

Straightening myself,I looked to see who it was.Who dared to touch a princess like that?Not that I minded I was just curious.

Looking up,my eyes mat a pair of golden eyes.No wait! not golden but they had the color of lava from a volcano.I had never seen eyes like that before.Are you alright milady?asked the man with a slight frown on his face.

If I had knots before in my stomach,now I suddenly had butterflies as I gazed in his eyes.

Who is this man? I had never seen him before.He was tall, broad-shouldered and his silky thick raven hair fell over his shoulders down to his waist.You could tell from that clothes that he is royalty.Could he be one of the royalties that came to attend my wedding?

Yes...yes...I am...I am fine,my lord.i replied as I stammered.My lady as he bowed elegantly and turned to leave.

That's one good looking man,Samira pointed as I stared at his back while he walked away.Yes, good looking but I'm getting married and didn't have the luxury to look at other men.

Shall we?I asked but Lilian and Samira were too occupied to hear what I said.They kept following him with their gaze until he was out of sight. I snapped my fingers in front of their face to wake them up. Yes ,yes let's go. They hurriedly said.

The ceremony will begin with a greeting exchange between the bride,the groom and their families.I gave the guard a nod and he informed my presence.He then motioned me to Lilian and Samira gave me a reassuring smile before I left them to walk inside.Now I was all on my own.

Taking a deep breath,I strode into the Hall carefully and immediately all heads turned to look at me.I walked with my head high but I kept my gaze low until I reached the throne where my father was sitting with my mom next to him.While greeting them I felt my legs tremble.

Mother smiled at me nervously,but my father gestured for me to sit at a table nearby.He was unbothered by the fact that he was marrying me to a man rumoured to be the devil's son.

Ignoring my father I smiled at my mother and went to my seat.I could feel everyone's eyes on me,some stared at me with pity whilst others stared at me with repulsion as if it was my fault for getting married to whomever I was marrying.They should blame my father not me.

After a while the guard informed us of the groom's presence and everyone turned their attention from me to the door.Silence prevailed in the room as the guest waited for the groom to enter.I, on the other hand looked down and rubbed my hands together nervously as I felt the knots in my stomach return.l wanted to look up but I was afraid.

What if I didn't like what I saw? What if the rumours were true? Would he have red eyes and long nails and maybe black horns on his head.Don't be ridiculous,I told myself and decided to have a look.

Slowly I glanced at the door as my heart hammered inside my chest and almost gasped when the groom entered.

WAIT!

That was the man from earlier with golden eyes.He couldn't be the groom, could he?The guest stared at him surprised as well and began to whisper hysterically into each other's ears.They must be expecting someone with black horns not some tall, elegant looking man

Not at least bit bothered by the whispers or stares he walked elegantly towards my father, taking each step with elegance.

"Your Majesty"he said as he bowed slightly.I dropped my jaw.
