Chapter-4: The Groom's Depression

It was the day that would witness the union of two powerful monarchies.

Hellard wasn't in the mood to get dressed but Rosiel pushed him off the bed.

"Get up right now!!!", he was irritated.

"Father is asking for you, and you're here, sleeping like a pig! Get up!!"

Hellard can't deny it any further because Rosiel is on the verge of losing control. You can say that Hellard just wanted to run from the wedding but Rosiel was standing on top of his head. Hellard sighed.

"Just thinking of that woman makes me sick! How can I marry her?"

Rosiel knowing the position he and his brother are in, sightly placed his hand on his shoulder.

"You know very well that this is the way the royal family works!", They didn't make a sad face instead they just shrugged.

Rosiel left the room and Hellard accepted this wedding nightmare to be true. He made his way towards the bathroom or restroom and started taking his shirt off. The biceps were huge and the abs were well-maintained. After all, that was the body of someone who had trained from a very young age.

He is 28, young, handsome, strong, and the future emperor. He must have hundreds of young girls and women drooling over him, right? Wrong!! People were always afraid of him because of his merciless nature and the blood running through his veins. His mother died while giving birth to his sister when he was just 10 and for some reason, we can never understand why he didn't cry at her funeral. Before Enisha was born, there was only one person he could talk to freely, Rosiel. Their relationship is unlike any other Hyperion siblings that existed in the past. They have a brotherly bond rather than a fight for succession.

Marriage was also not easy for him even if he was the crown prince. Other royal families were afraid to send their daughters to marry someone like him thinking that their life would be miserable but in reality, he would not even bother to go to their chamber and if possible, he wouldn't ever approach them, the world saw the Hyperions as wild animals who can devour you without a second thought.

...*****...

When Rosiel got the news that Judith Elhark lost the right to the throne and was put up for marriage, he discussed it with Rodgo before informing Hellard and Rodgo was pleased with the witch sitting on the empress's throne. When he told Hellard about the arrangement, he was stunned and depressed at the same time.

"What? Engagement? All of a sudden! Where do you even find a bride? What if she runs away from the wedding hall?", Hellard was joking but deep under, he was anxious.

"Well, she will not! Because your Fiancée is Judith Elhark!", Rosiel said with a smirk and Hellard's eyes widened at the mention of a name that had surrounded the capital a week ago.

"Judith Elhark?! The witch of Elhark?", Hellard asked with a weird expression on his face and Rosiel nodded.

Hellard would've never imagined that he would be engaged at the age of 20 and to a woman that was anything but simple but he eventually agreed. He knew that today or tomorrow, he had to get married to continue the royal line of succession but he still wanted to delay it as long as possible.

And then he saw her for the first time at their first meeting and Hellard's first impression was! She's arrogant!

A/n: Well, so do you!

From the first time he met her, he knew that it was not gonna work, this marriage! But after meeting her a few more times, it was proved that this marriage would never work, but he is here today, getting ready for his wedding. It was Rodgo that suggested being a gap between their engagement and wedding for them to know each other better and be comfortable around each other, but it all seems to be in vain.

Hellard washed up and put on a rob with his chest left exposed. He got out and was surrounded by a ton of servants.

"Your Highness, we will first start with your grooming and styling your hair blah blah blah", Hellard wasn't even paying attention, all that he was thinking was about Enisha giving Judith much more time which was a nightmare for him.

"I will never let that woman get close to Enisha!", Hellard's fist tightened.
