Selena didn’t respond to Barbie’s words. The wedding gown fitted her well, and she would be able to alter anything herself even if it was needed. She therefore took the dress off once the sight of her in it satisfied Barbie’s curiosity. Barbie and Ken were the two main figures responsible for the wedding preparations this time around, so Barbie rushed off to complete her other chores once Selena was done trying on the dress.
Meanwhile, Selena walked out of the castle to find Hades with his eyes shut as he rested on a rocking chair out in the gardens. “Are you really planning to get married to me?” Selena realized how silly her words sounded once she posed the question. The wedding preparations were nearly complete—it was evident that Hades wasn’t fooling around at all.
He slowly opened his eyes then. “Did you think I was just joking around?”
“You have to think it through. There’s no going back once we get married,” Selena uttered as she sat down on a stool beside him.
“What do you mean by that?” Hades didn’t understand her words.
“I would have never agreed to get married to you if you hadn’t threatened me to do it, Hades. If we really get married, it means that we’ll never be friends again. I initially thought that I would remain friends with you after I leave this place—you were the one who saved me and gave me life, after all.” Selena had her back turned against the sunlight, but the yellow rays that illuminated parts of her face only made her look incredibly gorgeous then.
“Friends?” Hades gave her an icy scoff. “Do you think there are such things as friends in my world?”
Selena’s eyes were filled with sincerity as she turned to him. “Of course. I believe that you’ve never wanted to do such things. Everyone has a natural preference for light and the sun—no one would actively choose to hide themselves in the darkest spots where the light can’t reach them.”
