Sylvia's P.O.V.
Red flower petals sprinkled around the floor as I walked down the aisle with a bouquet wrapped around my hands - the white veil covering my nervous face slowly marched towards an emotionless groom who was rumored to be a heartless man.
This wasn't my choice- to marry this man and yet here I am walking towards him. Only my relatives were invited to my wedding but only a few of them attended. Ever since my father died our family got bankrupt and fell off the social ladder... ever since that day some of our connections cut ties with us but a few of them stayed and since I'm the only child of the family and a woman at that- cannot inherit the family's fortune. My uncle- my father's brother inherited the family fortune and sold me off to marry this man.
Aries Eziekel De Carlos my fiance whom I just met today at my wedding. He was rumored to be a heartless man who killed countless of his servants just because of a simple mistake. My uncle signed a contract with him, and it says there that I just need to bear a son and that's it he'll provide me with whatever I need, and since I'm f*cked up I bought contraceptives with me and planning to drink it later before our wedding night.
I walked up the stairs and saw him up close. He was kinda tall though but his face was blurred because of this freaking veil.
"Lord Aries Eziekel De Carlos, do you wish Lady Sierra Allison Reign to become your wife?" The pope said awaiting his answer.
"I do, I Aries Eziekel De Carlos wish to marry Lady Sierra Allison Reign to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, I promise to love and cherish her", he vowed.
"Will you Lady Sierra Allison Reign wish to accept Lord Aries Eziekel De Carlos as your husband?"
"I-I do, I Sierra Allison Reign take Lord Aries De Carlos as my loving husband for better and for worse, in sickness and in health.... Till death... Do us Apart" I vowed saying all of these lies in front of god.
"Congratulations, you are now Duchess Sierra Allison De Carlos, may these new couples be blessed by our mighty god Ishtar"
"Thank you, Father" Both of us bowed, and just like that the marriage ceremony ended.
