The Cruel Prince Loves Her so She Agrees to Save the World

This will eat out my heart

Everyone heads inside to the banquet area. Connected to the ballroom, there was music playing. The banquet hall was decorated with white and lavender sashes flower arrangements of lilies, babies' breath and lavender on the table lavender tablecloths golden candles. In the center of the ballroom there was a crystal chandelier. It refracted light creating rainbows on the floor. It was utterly beautiful to look at. You can tell no expense was spared. People were dancing and the musicians were playing upbeat music. The different clan members were actually laughing and  mingling with each other. It showed Orion and Theo that all of this was for something and that something really could work. They could heal their people. Their land. Their home.

There was a buffet table filled with an array of different foods. There were leafy greens, and different fruits like berries, dragon fruit and star fruit. There was fish and boar. A dessert table that had a cake as the center piece it was a large three layer masterpiece. It was decorated with stars and suns drawn on to the cake. Little trays of cookies and puddings. It was a masterpiece to look at.

It's truly amazing how the queen and Lady Evanstorm was able to put together in a matter of days. One could wonder what hey could do if they had a few weeks.

Surprisingly the event so far has gone without incident between any of them clans. Well, nothing but a few arguments, no violence being the main point of concern..

People approach the newly wedded couple with well wishes and congratulations. Bringing gifts of gold and silver, porcelain and money for the future King and Queen of Elysium.

Theo and Orion head to the ball room after they spent 2 hours receiving peoples blessings. They begin dancing. People were drinking and laughing it was going wonderfully.

And then the hairs on the back of Theo and Orions neck rose. The guards seem to notice too putting their hands in their sheaths. And then someone screamed "He's got a knife!"

The guards drew their swords.

"We will not bow to a High Elf Queen! Never Again!". Several elves came forward pulling swords from their clothes. They were dressed as guests and the women had stored weapons under their skirts. And then coming from the doors and balconies were more elves armed with bows. Drawn and ready

"We refuse to accept another white haired bitch as our queen " a man with brown skin and blonde hair walked forward, a Sun Elf. And a fair skinned red-haired man, a Wood Elf.

Orions brothers and the royal guard were ready if a fight broke out. Her mother the queen was already giving orders with her eyes.

Theo steps forward "call my wife a bitch one more time. Before I have the chance to take your tongue." People now move back away from the man speaking. Leaving only their followers standing in their place.

Orion shocked she's never been threatened by a person before. Like a real threat.

Snapping out if it she realizes. He just called her a bitch!

"Excuse me, you mean to come into my home. Eat my food. Drink my wine. And then throw a dagger at me and call me a bitch?" Orion chuckles. "I don't think so."

"Fuck you whore" the man spits on the ground and with that Orion pulls a dagger from under her dress. Poised to throw it.

"You are so fucking hot for that ya know?"

Theo said mesmerized by her. He couldn't believe his bride had a dagger hidden in her wedding gown. If this didn't say he married the right woman nothing, not even a mark would.

"Kill that Bitch" someone yelled from the crowd. A knife is thrown through the air flying between Orion and Theo's faces. Someone let an arrow slip shooting a guest in the shoulder.
