★★MARRIED OFF TO THE RUMORED DEVIL★★

🔥CHP 5: INNER THOUGHTS 🔥

On their way back to the palace of Preston, Irene was in deep thought of what her life would become of now that she was married. She never thought it would be so soon. She was only twenty three and she still wanted to accomplish something in life but now she was tied to the one cold Prince of another kingdom.

She began to think about the way things were being done in that kingdom, what if she had no idea how to do them? What if she was suddenly blamed for any misfortune like she had always been blamed for the past twenty three years of her life? Would this man she was sitting beside be able to care for her and love her like she had always imagine love to be?

   ' No, no, Irene, get that thought out of your head, he cannot and will never love you. ' She concluded and just breathe out lightly as she closed her eyes under her veil.

Arthur looked at the woman beside him who seemed to be dozing off judging from the way her body moved at every carriage's movement. He was yet to remove the veil off her face so he just tried to see through it. This was all new to him, marriage, wife, relationship, just name it. He had no idea what to do or how to do it, he was yet to touch any woman and he had tried abstaining from the opposite sex as if they were plague to him.

He took a look at her again and his thoughts began to run wild. What if he couldn't give her the love she might desire? Would he be able to control the demon inside of him? Would she run away if she got to know what destruction and havoc he was capable of doing? Would she accept him and not be frightened by his behavior?

   ' No, she had probably heard about the rumors and doing anything to convince her is just a waste of time. Let her opinion about me remain the way it is. I am the Rumored Devil after all. ' Arthur concluded.

The carriage soon arrived at the palace alongside the others. Arthur got out of it and walked to the other side where Irene was sitting, though she was already asleep. He tapped her gently and she jumped in fear as she stared at Arthur through her veil. Arthur's heart cracked a bit [ literally 😏 ] when he saw her extremely frightened at the fact that he touched her.

   " Your...your highness? " Irene spoke.

   " We've arrived, get out! " He commanded and she quickly did as she was told. She stood feet away from him.

They all walked in to the palace and Irene marveled deeply at the beauty and power this magnificent place held. Everything about this place was different from where she came from. The maids and other palace workers bowed to greet them all especially the new member of the royal family.

They didn't do much ritual since her bride prince was paid already. They settled down for dinner.

Arnold cleared his throat to speak, " Before any of us starts eating, I want to use this moment to Welcome the new bride of this family. What is your name, my dear? " He asked.

   " Irene, your highness. " She answered.

   " Why don't you remove your veil, Irene? You are in Preston not Nashville so it isn't required. " The eldest princess and wife to the crown prince said.

Irene looked at Arthur to maybe get his approval before doing it but he seemed not to mind as his attention was solely on the food he was gulping down his throat. Irene gently lifted the veil off her face and everyone was stunned to see such a beauty right before their midst.

Arthur, when he noticed that everyone seemed to stop doing what they ought to do[ which was eating 😏 ], he looked at the woman beside him. She looked like an angel so he could see why everyone were tongue tied.

She was the only princess with pure and long white hair that was usually rare in the present ages. Her eyelashes were long and didn't speak artificiality, she had an oval face and round shaped red lips inviting the audience to have a taste of them [ haha😏🤣 ]

   " Oh my goodness. " Lois gasped.

   " Whoa. " Everyone couldn't help but mutter as they found it hard to look away.

   " You are mesmerizing, my dear. " Lois appreciated. Irene tried lifting up her head to look at the Empress. She pulled out a little smile revealing two dimples to complete the beauty.

   " Thank you, your highness. "

   " You can now call me ' mother ', my dear. "

Facing her husband, she said with a bright smile " You chose the right partner for our son. "

Arnold chuckled.

   " I know that I might be irrational in making decisions and sometimes heartless in the process but I will always make the best for my children. " He replied while staring at Arthur. A bit of warmth spread through his eyes. Arthur stopped chewing and dropped his spoon.

   " I believe that is enough. I am very tired and so is the princess, we will take our leave now. " He spoke.

   " But son, she is yet to eat anything... " Lois tried to convince him.

   " She isn't a glutton. " He retorted.

   " I am fine, mother. I have eaten to my fill before coming here. Thank you very much for your care. Goodnight your highnesses. " Irene stood up when she saw Arthur did so impatiently.

  " Good night. "

   " Night. "

They responded as they watched the couple exit the palace.

Prince Adrian looked smitten by the princess's beauty and wondered why Arthur had to always enjoy good things. He looked at his wife with distaste and Jacqueline shivered from his frowning look. Adrian snorted and thought silently. It won't be too long. If his plans will work well then he would just kill Arthur and dispose this wife garbage then he could have Irene while pretending to be her hero because he was sure that there wouldn't be any bond between them.
