CHAPTER 6

The next two days went by in a flash, there were a lot of preparation for the impromptu engagement. It was to be done in secret, especially since, there was an axe hanging over their heads, the engagement wasn’t elaborate, in fact it was a very simple one. The entourage of the northern kingdom had arrived with gifts for their beloved bride. The Prince was already in attendance, he has finally gotten the love of his life, he was dressed in white as the tradition demands, to him he would have wanted more time to plan a more elaborate engagement, he understood that everything has to be done in a hurry, never the less, he would make it up in their wedding, he would give her the elaborate wedding she rightly deserves.

“Princess Dianne Nefertiti Nigel Maximillian, bride to Prince Edward of the northern regions has arrived”, the royal attendant announced.

Dianne walked in, dressed in scarlet which was totally against the tradition, everyone gasped. Worse the dress scantily covered her body, her thighs were one full display, I better not talk about her breasts, it was her way of saying fuck you to this marriage, perhaps maybe her mode of dressing would make them cancel the engagement, but father saw through it all.

“let the ceremony begin!!”. The sooner she was out of here the better.

“um umbrak et suzunne”, the priest said beckoning on Dianne and Prince Edward to come forward, Dianne, sighed in defeat.

“ill ne suzunne”, the congregation replied. Dianne and Prince Edward stepped forward towards the altar.

The priest shook his head at her choice of clothing, Dianne gave him her go to hell look.

“um umbrak et suzunne”, the priest called again.

“ill ne suzunne”, the congregation repeated.

“this is the joining of our royal families, through the joining of Princess Dianne and Prince Edwards, may the gods bless this union and make it fruitful”, the priest said, tying a white robe on the wrist of both of them.

“may the gods take all evil eye away from them”, the priest said.

“ill ne suzunne”, the congregation said.

“may the gods bless this union”, the priest said.

“avac et suzunne”.

“may the gods make this union successful”.

“meh, il et suzunne”, the congregation said bowing.

Dianne sighed it was finally over, she didn’t waste time to turn over and head back to her room, any more time here, she was likely to tear someone apart.

“please, princess Dianne wait”, Edward called.

“what, now, aren’t you satisfied yet”, Dianne said unleashing her anger on him.

“I’m sorry things has to be this way”, Prince Edward said, and she scoffed.

“I don’t see you regretting this marriage, you seem to enjoy it”,

“I’m sorry for the way things are, I promise I’ll make it up to you”, he said.

“there is nothing, that you can do that will make up for this”, Dianne said angrily ready to tear Edward apart. Prince Edward shrank back in fear, he has never seen the Princess so angry.

“well.... I can at least try”, he said shakily.

“if you don’t stay away from me, this instant show you the reason why people fear me”, Dianne spat out with gritted teeth.

 “Dianne!!”, King Maximillian called.

“not now, father!”, Dianne shot back as she advanced towards him, “ I have done everything you’ve asked, the least you can do is to stay away from me, or I’ll forget the fact that you are my father”, she said and stomped off.

“that went well”, the royal attendant said.

“I could see the smoke coming out of her ears”, king Maximillian said even him knew to stay away from his daughter when she was angry.

“it felt like she was going to tear me apart”, Prince Edward said.

“she can”, King Maximillian said.

“so far son good”, the attendant said.

“young man, I am entrusting my daughter into your hands, if anything happens to her, while in your care, I will hunt you, whether I’m dead or alive and that’s a promise”, King Maximillian said.

“I understand, my King, but I would never allow any harm to come to her”, Prince Edward said.

King Maximillian nodded his head in acknowledgement, “I hope everything is ready for your departure”, he said.

“we will leave at sundown”, Prince Edward.

“good, the sooner, she’s out of here the better”, he said.

“may I ask why you are in such a hurry to get the Princess married”, Prince Edward said, intrigued.

The royal attendant coughed, interrupting “isn’t the day shining brightly”, he said.

“it is night”, both King Maximillian and Prince Edward said.

“never the less, I’m happy that you’ve given me this opportunity, I promise to be a good husband to your daughter, because I love her”, the Prince said giving him, his promise.

“I hope that you can keep your word, because I won’t hold you to that”, the King said.

Now all we have to do is wait, hopefully, the Princess will be long gone before they arrived.

                                             ************************

“It won’t be long now”, Lucien thought to himself, it won’t be long , till I have you. All week his mind was on her, her hot sexy body with legs so long and silky, her firm back side with those pert and cute breasts, that he wants to fondle over and over again. Damn, just thinking about her made all the blood rush down to his lower regions. He swore as he glanced down, he desperately needs to get laid, but the only person he wants so badly, right now, is her, Dianne.

Oh, the things I’m going to do with you, princess. Fuck, he needs to take care of his raging erection.

“my lord, bad news”, Jasper said interrupting his thoughts.

“what!”, he growled, pissed by the disturbance, in a matter of minutes he would have jerked off with the image of the Princess on his mind.

“the plans on marrying the Princess to the northern regions”, he said.

“he wouldn’t dare”, Lucien said, livid with anger.

“my resources, tells me that they are already engaged and to be wed at the northern regions”.

“how dare him!!”, Lucien said banging his fists on the table.

“they’ve started the movement already”, Jasper said.

“how long will they reached the northern regions”, Lucien said.

“three days at most, my lord”, Jasper said. “maybe this is a sign that you are not meant to be with her”, he added.

“get this clear, Jasper”, Lucien said, lifting him up by the neck, “no one!, I mean no one, takes whatever belongs to me, whoever they are they must pay!!”, he growled in anger, the frames on the wall shook.

“yes.... yes, my lord”, he said choking, “yes”.

Lucien released him and he fell on the ground with a thud. How could he, he was more than willing to forgive him, if only he had given him his daughter, instead he went ahead to engage her to... to that despicable excuse of a man.

“gather all the troops.....”

Jasper gasped “my lord, you do know that under the eyes of the gods, they are partially married”, he said, trying to make his master see reason.

“I don’t bloody care!, no one takes what’s mine, gather all the troops, we are going to war”.

Jasper gulped, this time around, they were really going to war, his master was definitely very very angry.

“no mercy, kill them all”, he had said. He could even see the walls melting from his anger.

He shivered, “this was going to be a bloody war”.
