His queen

CHAPTER 5: Wedding day

Lea's POV

"Lady Lea you should go see your wedding gown." Carol said.

"Pick anything you want I'm not in the mood." I rolled my eyes.

"The dress is ready you only have to try it." She tried to argue.

"Please Carol can you leave me alone?" She sighed and left.

"Good morning Lady Lea." Another maid entered the room. She was an elderly woman with a motherly aura around her.

"Good morning..."

"Helen. My name is Helen." She said with a smile on her face.

"Hello Helen." I said again.

"I'm here to help you with everything you will need." She said.

"Thank you so much." I replied. I really was not in the mood to argue with her.

I barely got rid of Carol and her annoying a*s. Why am I being a b***h about a sweet woman? Because she said that my duty as a queen is to give that stupid beast children. I wanted to strangle her but I controlled my anger thankfully or I would have been "The Queen Of Murder." I laughed evily in my head. I remembered Helen and looked at her. She was looking at me with a "what the f**k" plastered on her forehead and that's when I realised that I had a psychotic smile on my face.

"You have to hurry up your wedding is today and there is so much things we have to do." She said excitedly.

"TODAY?" I screamed and she jumped with surprise.

"I thought you knew that." She said with fear in her eyes. I was fuming and I wanted to strangle someone right now. Usually I don't have murders thoughts but I can't help it. Since I entered this castle I became someone else.

"The f**k I'm going with you to my death! I didn't even get prepared mentally." I screeched.

"What the hell is happening here?" Helen stood still and she started shivering. Her eyes turned towards the floor and she didn't dare utter a word.

"Y-your highness there's absolutely nothin-"

"Yes there is absolutely everything! You didn't tell me that we will get married TODAY. I'm not prepared." I screamed and Helen was giving me the 'shut up before we all die' look.

"Leave!" He said in a calm voice but his eyes were another story.

I stood up to escape his deathly glare but he held my elbow and looked at Helen.

"Her not you." He said.

"Yes your highness." Helen sighed in relief and scurried outside the room.

He turned and looked me dead in the eyes. Did I mention that he has the most captivating eyes ever? Oh I did? Well I'll say it again!

"You listen to me carefully. You're going to enter this bathroom and take a shower and then you'll follow Helen and you will put that f*****g gown on you. And then you will walk down the aisle like a good girl or I swear I'll kill you and everyone you know. You know I don't fool around! I'm not called a beast for nothing!" He snarled. He let go of my elbow and harshly shoved me towards the bathroom and I nearly fell. He closed the door with so much force that the whole castle shook.

"I hate him. I f*****g hate him." I laid on the bed and buried my face in the pillow and screamed from hurt and frustration. f*****g asshole.

"Lady Lea please we don't want to anger his highness anymore." Helen was back and she was still stunned from the incident that occurred 5 minutes ago.

"Okay." I said my voice hoarse from all the screaming.

I entered the bathroom with Helen following me. 2 other maids were already inside. the bathtube was filled with water. I took off my clothes since these maids won't leave me alone for sure. They helped me take a bath although I was very capable of doing so. After I'm done they helped me get dressed and they led me towards a big room down the hall. I could hear all the orders being made for the wedding. Isn't this day supposed to be my happiest day? Shouldn't I be on cloud nine now?

We entered through the doors and there was in the middle of the room the most beautiful white gown I have ever seen. 3 maids were helping what I suppose is the royal sewer.

"Oh you're here dear please come I need to finish this dress in 2 hours." The old sewer said as they all dragged me towards the gown.

They helped me get dressed in it and I felt for a second a bit of happiness. This is my wedding day right? I should try to be happy or at least pretend to be happy.

"Perfect it just needs some more touches. Can you please stand here dear." She said and I stood in the middle of the room as she worked on the dress.

2 hours later I was dressed in my gown, my make up was done and I looked like a true princess. I looked at the girl in the mirror who doesn't look like me. I don't know who she is but I like the old person better. This girl has sadness in her eyes. She looks drained and I hated how perfect she looks. I wanted to go back to the carefree life.

"Lady Lea please follow me." A guard I have never seen in my life came.

"Okay." I followed him towards where we are 'celebrating' my*happy* marriage. Note the sarcasm.

"Lea!" We stopped abruptly as I turned to see the only person I needed right now.

"Nolan! Thank god you came. I-I can't do this anymore." I sobbed.

"I'm so sorry. I couldn't save you this time." He said his eyes were now red. I laughed at the memory of us.

It was when we were 12 years old and we were playing in the woods. We were running around and having so much fun when one of the kids appeared in front of me. He was big and fat. He looked at me and smirked. He tried to hurt me with a knife but thankfully Nolan appeared. He hit the kid with so much force knocking him on the ground. Nolan was strong because since he was ten he helped his father with the work and he used to go to the woods and watch the warriors train. One warrior saw him and took interest in him. He started teaching him some moves and since then Nolan wanted to become a warrior. And I believe that he will achieve this dream one day.

And that day after he saved me he promised that he will always save me and protect me. And I believed him. He always protected me from this world. But today he is standing unable to do anything and I can see that it was breaking him slowly.

"Your presence here is enough for me. You give me strength. Thank you for always being there for me Nolan." I hugged him tight and he kissed my head.

"Lea I should tell you something." He looked in my eyes I looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

Suddenly Nolan grabbed me by my waist and planted his lips on mine. I tried to get away from him but he was strong. He pulled away at last and looked with tears in his eyes.

"You look like an angel Lea." He said. He looked deep in my eyes. "I'll be in the throne room." I nodded and he left alone again in the lion's den.

"Dad." Dad was standing in front of the doors in his tux waiting for me. I missed him so much although I saw him yesterday, but I have never slept a night outside my home.

"Babygirl you look so beautiful." He said with a proud smile. I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Thank you."

I took his hand and dad nodded at the guards. They opened the big doors and we entered. What I saw took my breath away. Thousands of people were here with big smiles on their faces. The rich and the poor were all here. They devided the huge room into different categories. The peasants were first. They were scattered on my left and right. I could see Mr Milton and Mrs Milton with Angelina their daughter and Megan was standing with them too, Mr and Mrs Brent with Nolan, Mrs Garfield and even Princeton was here with his sister Stefani. Then next to them there is the middle class. They were neither rich nor poor. Then there was the nobles and the rich class. Then there was the knights and Lords along with their families. I walked with my dad with wobbly feet. I was so nervous and everyone was watching me. The way to the altar was long, I couldn't see the beast perfectly yet. I smiled at the people and the kids were waving at me. They were all having admiring gazes and I don't blame them because the gown is something no one has ever seen it before.

Let me give you a description of it. It is long and ruffled. The top is tight and it showed my waist perfectly and the bottom was wide. Small white flowers and butterflies were scattered on the whole gown. The sleeves were long. The veil was long and attached to my cute bun.

The noble women had their mouths half opened when I reached them. They were studying me with their judgemental gazes. And then my eyes caught HIS.

He was standing next to the priest. He looked devilishly handsome in his royal suite. His eyes were studying me from head to toe and suddenly I felt more nervous about myself. Our eyes met and everything around us disappeared. Focus Lea you hate this beast. I looked everywhere but him because his gaze was murdering me. My eyes caught the king and queen sitting in their throne. They both have kind smiles on their faces. The queen was gorgeous. She has blonde hair and green eyes. And then there was the king. Although he was sick, he look as strong as ever. And he's handsome too. He had brown hair and chocolate eyes just like the prince. He looked very happy. He was not looking at me but at the person next to me. My father. They both have a small smile on their faces which look kind of suspicious.

Finally we arrived to the altar and my dad gave my hand to the prince. His hand was warm and big. It gave a comforting feeling. It was so strange because I feared and hated this man. I should loath him. But my body reacts strangely around him.

"Let the ceremony begin." The king said and I turned to the people cheering for us.

I hope this day ends fast.
