What If?

"Princess, His Majesty is here." One of the maids notified me as all the maids that were surrounding me dispersed. "Okay." I smiled as I leave the room to find Felix outside.

"Wow! You look so beautiful! You look like your mother today especially." Felix smiled at me as he extended his hand to me. "Do I really?" I ask as I take his hand and begins leading me outside. "Very much so." Felix tells me. "You know your mother would be very pleased with lady you have become. You are brazen and kind just like her." Felix says.

"It's starting to seem like you're giving me away today, now." I giggle at Felix. "Well it certainly feels like it right now!" Felix says wiping his eyes with his other hand.

I laugh a little at him. He is like family. "But thank you for saying that stuff about my mom. It makes me really happy." I say as we reach outside finally.

There I could see Dad waiting for me by the carriage fixing the cuff of his sleeve. As my feels click against the stone as we descend, he finally looks up towards us. His eyes widen a little bit in surprise but he quickly goes back to his usual indifferent expression. "Hi Papa." I greet him with a smile.

"You look pretty today." Papa comments. "You look dashing today as well. I was thinking you were going to wear your usual attire instead of dressing up." I tell him. "I figured you'd prefer for me to dress up for your big day." Dad says. "It's not just my 'big day'." I roll my eyes. "Yeah, yeah. We better start going or we'll be late. Unless you'd like to cancel." Papa says holding out his hand.

"Never." I smile taking his hand.

As we arrived to biggest garden within the Castles grounds, Papa got out first and then offered me a hand in which I took as I also exited the carriage.

Elegant music began to play as I looked up the aisle, to the alter, where Lucas was waiting. All the nobles were standing and watching me with smiles. Everyone was dressed beautifully and everyone seemed happy. Flower petals whirled around carelessly with the faint warm wind.

Papa then began walking me down aisle. Lucas and I just locked eyes as he stood there with his usual smug look. I honestly think it was just to piss off Papa. As we reached Lucas, he extended out his hand for mine. But mine that was still being held my Papas didn't move. "Papa." I whispered quietly as I tried to get my hand out his grip but my hand didn't even budge at all.

Lucas and Papa were staring each other down. They're both damn adult and still acting childish! "Knock it off! Both of you." I whisper-yelled at them both. They both finally broke eye contact looking at me as Papa finally placed my hand onto Lucas's.

Lucas took my hand and we walked a couple more steps up to the Preist as Dad went and took his seat.

The priest began his long speech of joining Lucas and I together forever. We both said our vows together. Lucas actually looked happy and not disgusted even though there were so many people around.

"You may now kiss the bride." The preist says. Lucas wasted no time wrapping one arm around my waist pulling closer and his other hand cupped my cheek as he gave a me a long deep kiss. Cheering erupted around us praising the future leaders of the Obelian Empire.

After we pulled apart, Lucas took my hand as we began to walk down the aisle. But as we passed my dad, Lucas waves at Claude, "See ya at the banquet dad!" Lucas says with smirk. Dad's face twitched as glared fiercely at Lucas.

"Knock it off." I whisper to Lucas as I pull to the carriage quickly. "What? It's not like I said anything wrong." Lucas plays innocent as we get to the carriage. I get in first while Lucas follows. I mean technically he wasn't wrong.
