“Aunt”Royalty screamed.

“Yes. It’s me. Your favourite aunt, Aunty Emily.”She said.

“So! What should we do about that? You don’t have the right to stop my wedding, Aunt Emily.”Royalty screamed, coming down the altar.

“Royalty”King Ryui called softly. She holt when she heard his voice.

“Don’t argue,”he uttered softly.

“I knew you won’t Invite me,”Emily uttered, talking on the stairs.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Emilyyy!!!”King Justin growled.

“I don’t know what I have done to you brother, you changed all of a sudden. You didn’t write any letter to me, concerning Royalty’s wedding”Lady Emily uttered, bursting into tears.

“Aunt”Her Majesty Tessa called, pulling her up on her feet.

“Tessa”she called–why didn’t you write to me”she asked.

“Everything happened in a rush aunt, it happened suddenly. Royalty marriage was a punishment by the rules. But she loves Ryui, same also with Ryui. He loves her a lot,”Tessa uttered, whispering softly in her ears. Her eyes widened in shock.

“You don’t mean that right?”She asked softly.

“I mean every single word I just said Aunt.”Tessa whispered back.

“Oh heavens, what have I done?”Emily murmurs lightly.

“You gotta do something right now, everything,, everything isn’t right”Tessa whispered, taking a back turn.

” I’m so sorry,,, I am so sorry Royalty. I didn’t mean to ruin everything,,, to ,,, to,,, ruin things for you. Am such a bad,,, aunt,,, I apologized for my mistake,, I didn’t,,, mean,,, to,,, this,,, I,,, was,, just ,, pissed,,, after getting,,, to,, know are getting married.”Emily shuttered, clapping her hands together.

“Aunt, it’s fine. “Royalty said, coming down the stairs.

“Your Highness–am very sorry for my mistake.”Emily apologized, as hot tears streamed down her cheeks.

“It’s fine, can we move on with the wedding?”Royalty asked, staring at the priest.

“Yes,”The priest replied, placing his Holy Bible on the altar.

Royalty smiled softly and took the stairs, staring at Ryui.

“They will have to process everything again,”Fiona murmured.

“Yeah, I think so,”Tessa replied, locking her hands with Fiona’s.

“The bride should please come forward”The priest said, stretching out his hand for her position. Royalty smiled and stood where she was earlier before the past event.

” It’s time for our vows.”Royalty murmured below her breath, acting shy all of the sudden.

“Did you take Royalty Brown as your lawful wedded wife, to bow and obey, in health, in riches, in sorrow, in sickness and in pain.

King Ryui uttered “Yes I do.

“Did you take Ryui Hicks as your lawful wedded husband, to bow and obey, in health, in riches, in sorrow, in sickness and in pain.

Princess Promise replied”Yes I do”.

” You may kiss your bride,”The priest said.

King Ryui smirked at Royalty who only blushed in return. He did hesitate to chew her lips hungrily. And then, The celebration continued, many people were merrily, some were after food. Some were on the dance floor dancing as if there’s no tomorrow.

“Hi Royalty,”Brianna called.

“Hi,”Royalty replied coldly.

“I’m only doing this for mom and Ryui,”Brianna muttered.

“Fake love, right?”Royalty asked nicely.

“It’s not fake love okay, I am still trying to accommodate you in our family”Brianna replied, rolling her eyes.

“So what do you mean by, I’m only doing this for mom and Ryui. “Royalty asked, crossing her arms.

“Nothing, I was only trying to start a conversation between us,”she replied.

(Scoffs)”Conversation? Did you just say conversation?”Royalty asked, feeling furious.

“Hey,, hey,, I didn’t mean to upset you?”Brianna uttered, touching her shoulders.

“You don’t mean to upset me, what rubbish is that? How can you tell me that I am only doing this for mom and Ryui?”Royalty yelled, catching people’s attention.

“Okay, calm down I didn’t mean to upset you that way you are misquoting me”Brianna uttered softly

“Okay it’s fine I will like to take my leave”Royalty said walking away.

“Royalty”She called.

“Huh!”

“Am sorry”

“For what exactly?”she asked.

“For, for, trust me I didn’t mean to upset you, just wanted to talk to you so that you and I can get along.”Brianna uttered, picking her fingers.

“You should have just opened up right from the beginning. I thought the stories were true”Royalty uttered, sitting on a white chair.

“Stories? What,, what,, what stories”Brianna shuttered.

“About your hatred for me”Royalty said with an eye roll.

“What? She exclaimed— any of those stories aren’t true, why will I dislike you for no reason..”Brianna uttered softly, gritting her teeth tightly.

“Okay, I was actually pulling your legs, I wanted to see your reaction, though you will admit to it. Because your eyeballs aren’t cool at all, somehow creepy” Royalty uttered, truthfully.

[Chuckled]” it’s my nature, I love to appear scary, promise me one thing Royalty.”She asked.

“One thing?, Okay, an ready to promise”

“Promise me you won’t leave Ryui alone, he’s very tender, he has been in love with you years back.. Am just a cousin to him, but he takes me as his younger sister. His mom told me he loves you a lot, promise me you won’t leave him”Brianna asked, clapping her hands together.

“Oh heavens, not even when I am at the point of death, I love Ryui a lot.”

“I didn’t know you were gonna steal my wife”Ryui uttered, pulling Royalty’s hand.

“Oh come on, it’s just ladies talk. You shouldn’t interfere”Brianna muttered.

“She’s my wife, she’s mine now”Ryui uttered, locking his eyes in Royalty’s own.

“Awwwn, so this is love.. “Brianna giggled.

“I love you Royalty”Ryui uttered softly, locking his lips on her lips.

King Nathaniel stood on the podium, trying to get everyone’s attention. Tessa kept staring at him weirdly.

King Nathaniel smiled softly, giving her a breathing taking wink.

“What is King Nathaniel planning to do?”Fiona asked.

“I don’t know Fiona, I am short of ideas. He’s always full of surprises.”Tessa uttered.

“Her Majesty, what’s King Nathaniel doing up there?”Promise asked, touching her right shoulder.

“Hello everyone”King Nathaniel began.

“Your Highness”Everyone replied, having those questioning expressions on their faces.

“I want to do something I have always wanted to do,” he paused and continued, “I have always wanted to show the world the woman that captured my heart, that tamed me just with her smile and sincerity.

She’s the only person that makes me smile, she’s the reason for living, she’s my joy, laughter, happiness, everything I always wished for, she’s thousands in one. She’s the only woman I love until death do us apart.

The woman, the lady, the special gold, the breathtaking diamond, that captures my heart is no other lady than Her Royal Majesty Tessa Brown.”King Nathaniel screamed

“Oh heavens, Nathaniel”Tessa murmured below her breath, holding her chest as tears streamed down her cheeks.

King Nathaniel came down the podium and took her hand.

“I love you Tessa,”King Nathaniel said out loud to everyone’s hearing.

“I love you too, I love you so much. You are the reason why I smile”Tessa said softly, locking her lips on his hungrily.

“Oh heavens, this is great”Fiona screamed.

King Nathaniel and Her Majesty Tessa pulled out of their hungrily kiss.

“Tessa”King Nathaniel called, going on his knees.

“Nathaniel, don’t let it be what I am thinking”Tessa asked, as hot tears streamed down her cheeks.

“Tessa, I love you Tess. Will you marry me”King Nathaniel asked as tears were forming his eyes.

“Say yes Tessa”Queen Lola screamed.

“Say Yes, Tessa. He loves you, he’s crazy for you”Fiona screamed.

[Lost in thought] “I can’t say Yes. Am barren, I can’t give him a child, I can’t get pregnant, this isn’t what I wanted for him. No I can’t say yes, if I say yes, it’s gonna ruin him forever”Tessa thought, as hot tears streamed down her face. She’s in pain everywhere, including her heart.

“I can’t marry you”Tessa uttered softly, removing her hand from his.
