Her Marriage, Her Revenge novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 The Groom

I

Asalea’s feet felt frozen. She stood in front of her groom stunned. Her eyes grew wide with surprise and amazement. “You?! Why would I marry you? I am here to marry the King. Can’t you understand that?” she murmured in an angry tone.

“I can clearly understand that, that is why you are marrying me now.” His smile is so mystical.

The man wearing a black robe like a priest and holding the vampire’s hallowed book, started to hum the devil’s song while slowly raising up the book he is holding. His head is up and his eyes are closed.

“Hail to the King of Glodeous and to his lovely bride!” suddenly the priest said in a loud voice. All the sitting vampires stood up and vow their heads then simultaneously said, “Hail to the King of Glodeous and to his lovely bride!”

Asalea’s forehead furrowed when she heard what the priest and all vampires had said. With furrowed forehead, she flipped her head, faced her groom, and asked, “Who the hell are you?”

“I am your groom. Now face the priest and enjoy our wedding.” He hissed and looked at her with full authority now. Asalea’s heart tumbled as she looked deep into his eyes.

Quickly, Asalea faced the priest.

“I hereby solemnize and give my blessing to this marriage bond between the King of Glodeous, King Timodore, and her lovely bride Lea. May you conquer the world together, build a greatest and long-lasting family together with your soon-to-be heirs, who will inherit your powers and your thrones as the King and Queen of Glodeous!” The priest's voice is booming filling all the ears of every Glodeous vampire.

“King Timodore, do you accept Lea to be your wife and soon to be your queen and the mother of your children, that you may conquer the world, defend each other and defend the Kingdom of Glodeous together?” the priest asked.

“Yes, I do.” The groom said while glancing at his bride who is now too embarrassed to look at him.

“Soon to be Queen Lea, do you accept King Timodore to be your husband and your King and soon to be the father of your children, that you may conquer the world, defend each other and defend the Kingdom of Glodeous together?” the priest asked Asalea too.

Asalea cleared her throat first. It seems like no words could come out of her mouth. She did not know what to feel. Her mind is floating and her heartbeat is like thunder.

“Lea, answer the priest!” he murmured with a pissed-off tone.

“Err, yes … I do.” She closed her eyes and controlled herself not to stammer, but she did still.

“Good girl.” He whispered again, now with a grin.

“Therefore, King Timodore got this ring and you Lea, got this other ring.” The priest opened a black box and showed to the groom and bride, a pair of wedding rings studded around with black diamonds.

The groom got the small ring first and gently put it to Asalea’s left ring finger. Thereafter, Asalea got the other ring and with shaking hands, put the ring to her groom’s left ring finger.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife; King and Queen of Glodeous. You may now kiss each other,” the Priest declared.

Asalea’s face grew paler as the man, who is her husband now, turned to her, cupped her face, and deeply kissed her.
