The Assassin's Conquer (Book Two)

Chapter Thirty Two-Alexandria

We found Ryia sitting against a wall at the castle courtyard. I still couldn't believe what she had told me. After all that had happened, I finally understood why she had pushed us away. I felt horrible for ever hating her or being upset with her. "Ryia!" I said. She looked up at us. I could tell she was scared to talk to is. She thought we hated her. We didn't. Even Terrin wasn't mad anymore.

Ryia reluctantly stood up and mumbled, "hey". I ran to her and gave her a big hug. She gasped in shock. "I don't care what you've done. Your my sister, and I love you" I said. I pulled away and smiled. Ryia had tears of happiness. "Ryia....I'm sorry. I was rude, and I shouldn't have been. After all you've been through....." Said Terrin. Ryia stopped him by saying, "it's fine". She still seemed uneasy around him.

"I'm sorry too" Aaron said. Ryia smiled and nodded. I was so glad that we were all together again. I was happy that Ryia was back to her normal self. Later that night, Ryia, Aaron, Terrin, Leo, Niamh, Rowen and I ate dinner together. We talked and laughed, it was a good time. I was more than happy that Ryia was there with us.

Later that night, I stood on my balcony with Aaron. "I'm glad Ryia's back" I said. Aaron smiled and said, "I'm glad too." We were silent for a little bit. "I.....have some news" he said. I faced him and asked, "what is it?" He smiled and said, "I know you didn't want to....but I talked to Rowen". "You did WHAT?!" I said, absolutely outraged. "Just listen!" Aaron said.

I sighed and let him continue. "Then, Rowen talked to your dad about it" Aaron said. I gasped. Oh no. My life was over. Father would never allow me to be with Aaron! He was going to send him away! My time left with him was over! I was about to go into tears. "And I wanted to be the one to tell you.....that your father cancelled the wedding" Aaron said. "W....what?" I asked.

Aaron smiled. I gasped and hugged him. I couldn't believe it! My father cancelled the wedding! He had accepted Aaron and I! "This is....I can't believe....oh my gosh!" I said. Aaron laughed. He leaned down and kissed me. "I have more news" he said. I nodded, letting him speak. "So after that....I talked to your father for a little bit. He said that their had to be a king soon, no question" Aaron said. My smile faded. I was getting confused. What was he talking about?

"So....I would like to ask you a question" he said. Aaron took my hand and asked the question that I'd never thought I'd hear. "Alexandria.....will you marry me?" He said. I gasped. Tears of happiness and joy fell from my eyes, down my face. I nodded and said, "yes. Absolutely, yes!" I hugged Aaron. Then, he put his hands on my waste and spun me around. Then, he set me down, and we kissed.

We smiled at each other. Then, I said, "let's go tell Ryia and Terrin!" Aaron nodded. I took his hand and ran out of my room with him. He laughed, and I did as well. We found Ryia and Terrin, along with Leo. Leo smiled. "So, the rumors are true?" He asked. Aaron and I looked at each other and nodded. Ryia and I squealed, then hugged. "I can't believe it! You two are getting married!" She said.

"I know! I'm so excited!" I said. Aaron smiled and said, "the wedding is coming up soon". Ryia and I squealed. "I need you to be my maid of honor!" I said. "Really, me?" She asked. I nodded and said, "of corse! Your my sister!" She hugged me again and said, "thank you, Alexandria". "And I want Niamh to be the flower girl" I said. "Oh, she'll look so cute in a pretty little dress!" Said Ryia. "I know!" I squealed.

We were all so happy. I could never be more happy in my life. But deep inside, I knew that the wedding had to be as soon as possible. Because I knew that Simon was still out there. I knew he would attack. But we would be ready. If he attacks, or tries to kidnap Ryia, we'll be ready. We'll find him. And we'll destroy him.
