The Royal Wedding

Chapter 6

Sam stood at the centre of the hall and studied it. It’s beautiful with high ceiling, painted with different designs of flowers, people and sceneries. What inspired her more was the beautiful painting of young girl wearing a long ball gown, sitting near the lake in the moon light as if waiting for someone.

“So, what do you think?” a familiar voice came from behind. She turned to see Edward smiling at her, standing at a distance, his hands shoved into his pockets. Her day already started with a fresh breeze, without coming across with Stefan and it was perfectly fine with her. 

“It’s amazing” Sam smiled and they turned back to stare at the painting.

“And the painting?” he raised an eyebrow at her. He was easy to talk and discuss anything. He makes her comfortable not like Stefan. She can't be in the same room with him, knowing that he staring at her with those intense eyes. She shivered just thinking about his eyes and dragged it to back of her mind.

“That? It’s awesome. It’s reflected so beautifully. The young girl waiting for someone, someone she loves,” She kept looking at the painting without noticing that Edward was standing next to her and looking at the same picture.

“There’s a story behind it” he said suddenly thinking deeply.

“A story?” Sam inquired.

“Yes, a cute young romantic story. It was drawn by once a princess of this kingdom. Long time ago actually. She had portrait herself in this painting,”

“So she was waiting for her love?” Sam looked at Edward.

“Yeah, waited for him even thought she knew that he won’t come back to her,” he said sadly.

“Why?”

“Because he was getting married on the same day,” Edward now looked at her and smiled.

“Then what happened later? Did he come? What had she done?” Sam asked all the questions at a time. Edward laughed at it.

“No one knows what happen later. Actually no one spoken about it. So it still remained a secret” he sighed. She wanted to know what happened to that princess. Somewhere in her heart, she hoped that the princess has found her true love.

“Did you…. Did you waited for anyone like this” he asked suddenly to Sam. She jerked back at that question but managed hard to control her emotions.

Yes, she waited for him….. Thinking that one day he will come to her.

She turned to see Edward watching her. Does he know anything?

“Yes, I waited for someone but it’s no use now” she sighed.

“Why?” he inquired.

“Because….” She was interrupted by a group of workers who arrived into the hall.

“Hmm… I think I should go now, tomorrow is the grand party, right?” she gave a small laugh.

“Yeah, party… it’s actually a ball” he laughed.

“Oh! Whatever” she smiled and went to the workers.

Edward stood their watching her for a few moments and left the hall.

He went out to his Audi car and started driving it. He has a big thing to do. He has to give the ball invitation to Miss Elena. She looked so beautiful when he saw her first time in the photo and then again in person when she came to meet Stefan.

Shit…Edward, you can’t think about her like that…. He cursed under his breath.

He can’t control himself thinking about her. He began to hate himself for liking her. He didn’t like the idea to meet her again but the Queen ordered him to do that job himself.
