Do you accept to...

This is going to be the best day of my life. I'm dreaming of it since I wa a kid, and I did everything to get it. And I'm finally there! Only a few minutes before the ceremony starts. The priest is already in here. The invitations were successful, there is almost not enough space for the people coming. Someone knocks on the door, telling me it's time.

I answer, smiling, and follow them. How could I not be happy? This is the best day of my life! Anyone would think the same. I enter into the room and all eyes are on me. The room is beautiful, and I can see the buffet through the windows. I go next to the priest and my best friend. He gives me "the object", as tradition asks to. Then, suddenly, silence. Doors open and a woman comes in, accompanied by her father. As they walk towards the altar, I look closely at her. I'm so happy she is the one. She stands in front of me and smiled.
We are now looking at the priest. He speaks, loudly enough to be heardto p by anyone:

"Prince Alathas II, son of the deceased Alathas I. Do you accept, as our Empire's oldest traditions desire, to sacrifice your feelings for the Empire?"

I hold "the object" by its hilt, and point the edge toward the woman I love, smiling at him.

"Yes, I will!"

Then I strike in front of me. Everyone stands up. Look at me. Then applause.

"Long live the Emperor!"

This is, by far, the best day of my life. If I could experienced it once again, I would gladly!
