Chapter Ten “Newly Weds"
I got married. I stared at myself in the mirror. I let him convince me to marry him. What the hell was I thinking? He even kissed me on the cheek.
I threw my dress to the desk on the other side of my room. I threw on the lilac purple silk nightgown the maid had given me before. She was not like Mrs.Donna. She was young and shy. With light blonde hair and green eyes.
"Yo-your Majesty…" she stuttered. "Yes?" "Hi-his highness wishes to see you." I turned towards her, letting my hair down and sliding on some cozy slippers. "There now we're ready to go." I smiled to myself looking at the maid. She nodded and walked out the door.
Walking down the same familiar hallway, Back to the throne room I go. Something inside me twitched. A feeling of uneasiness suddenly fell on me. Like a pair of eyes burned into the back of my head. I pushed the feeling off it. It was most likely a guard, but why would they stare at me?
Did I already mess something up? I've haven't even been here a week. We get to the big gold doors that my eyes have become so familiar with. The doors fantasized me as much as the first time I laid my eyes on them. The gold imprints of leaves and a tree that was cut in half when the doors open. For people who hated nature they sure loved to put it on their doors.
The throne room shined of the same eminent as I had left it. At the throne now sat my Newly wedded husband. No longer Alister. "Yo-your hi-highness." May stuttered, getting the king's attention. "Stop the stuttering!" His voice was deep and powerful.
I thought it had made the room shake but it was just my imagination. "Yes your highness!" Her voice squeaked then she ran out of the room. "Zera come here." Wow he learned my name since we got married some few hours ago.
I walked over to him. Yank!
He pulled me into his lap. I look around the room and for the first time I realize it's just us in the room. I sat on top of him. "We will be sharing a room from now on." He whispered. His stubbled tickled the back of my neck.
"Starting tonight you'll sleep in my room. May will move your clothing and personal belongings." He let me go and stood up. "Follow me." This hallway was new and it was also thinner than the hallways I was familiar with.
The long hallway lead to a set of doors. A double set of silver metallic doors. No imprint, no beautiful tree. Just a plain gray door.
Ares opened the door and what was inside was nothing compared to the gray doors. The room was huge and inside was his dark bed. Blacker than the lipstick I wore not too long ago. Still somewhat stained onto my lips.
The bed was neatly made. He had a large wardrobe that was twice the size of me. How much clothing does he have for a wardrobe that size? He walked into the room and flopped on the bed.
The cushions fly onto the floor. He made the perfectly clean bed a mess. Lord this is what I've married. He tapped the spot next to him. Gesturing me to come over.
I stood in place not knowing whether I should go or not. Would he get mad if I didn't? "Come on I promise I won't bite… unless that's something you're into." I step forward just so slightly. He stands up and walks over to the spot in front of me.
