Anamaria

Chapter Thirty Two

Anamaria

"Yes! Yes! I'll marry you!" I screamed, forgetting that the villagers were watching me. My cheek flushed in embarrassment as the prince took my hand.

The audience cheered as I pull him off the floor. I didn't take long enough before placing my lip on his.

This was the day to remember...I won't escaped him again.

"Careful stepping on your gown, Anamaria!" Anabeth rolled her eyes as she fix my gown. Sister.

"My gown look perfectly fine!" I protest.

Anabeth smack her forehead, "you're marrying a prince."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Anamaria, please just give me a few minute to fix your gown."

"Alright," I frown.

Beth came into the room with pins and flower. "Remember what I told you back at Lancaster, your highness?"

"What did you tell me?" I asked confused.

She put the flowers inside the case as her face turn into a grin. "Not everyone have a chance with a Prince," she said.

I smirked back, "not every Prince have a chance with me either." We all laugh as Beth put some flower on my hair.

"Are you sure you want flower crown?" Anabeth asked.

"Why not?" I question is it's the most obvious question.

"Well," she said staring at the flower. "Don't you want to use the thing mother wore for her wedding?"

"The head necklace?" I asked, trying to figure out what thing mean.

"Yeah, that."

"You have those?" I questioned in surprise.

"Of course! I inherit mother's stuff, remember?" She rolled her eyes. "I think our parents made a mistake, I don't like the same fashion you and mother like."

I broke into a non stoppable grin, "because you're special." I said wrapping my arm around her. "I love you, my sister."

"I still can't believe you're getting marry! You're not an romantic girl, but I have to admit you're very kind and brave." I laugh at her statement.

"You sound a little jealous," I smirk.

"I am," she reply.

"Don't worry you'll find the right one soon."

She frowned, "I hope."

The queen came in the room with her eyes full of excitement. "I asked your aunt if I can walk you to the groom for her, she said that's fine...is that alright with you?"

I smiled, "of course!"

In Ravernica tradition, mother walk daughter to their groom. I glance back at her majesty to see tear rolling from her eyes.

"Your majesty, is there something wrong?" I asked.

She shook her head, I've never realized how beautiful the queen is. She is about in her mid 40s. Her blue eyes glow every time I stare at her. I noticed she was wearing a cream color gown and a wedding tiara from her wedding. The one I saw on her wedding portrait.
"I beyond than okay, my dear." She paused, "I'm just glad that my son chose you."

I smile back at her. She and the Prince might have got along very well.

The trumpet fanfare silence the crowds as the queen gave me a final smile. "Are you ready?" She asked, offering me her hand.

"I'm always ready..." I said as we both walk out of the dressing room together. My two bridesmaids are Anabeth and Gisselle. Anabeth follow me as we walk outside. Gisselle run up to us and make her way behind me, she gave me an apologizing look for being late but I nodded in understand.

I stopped before we exist the palace door, everyone turn their attention to me. "I don't know if I can do it," I said honestly.

The queen walk up to me and wipe away the tear. "Don't cry my dear, your makeup is mess up." She said fixing my face. I nodded as we continued to walk.
My heart stopped as I made my way to the palace entrance stairs to see citizens and royalty from different kingdom. Never have I thought, that dream like this would come true.

The queen stopped walking as I look at her in surprise, she gave me a signal to keep walking. I slowly made my way to the groom holding that flower in my hand. My hands feel clumsy and I feel like dropping the flower.

The Duke turn to Garrett and bow and turn back to me. "Your highness, do you accept Lady Anamaria to be your bride and to love her for the rest of your life?"

"I do," he reply in a husky tone which caused the smirk from him to sent sensation over me.

"Lady Anamaria, do you accept this man to be your groom and to love him for the rest of your life?"

All eyes were on me with excitement. I nervously gulp and stare at the handsome groom in front of me.

"I-um......" I struggle to speak of the nervousness. The citizens were shock. Not only the Ravernican citizens were here, so was the Drysdalen and other kingdoms. The only thing normal people can't do is go inside the palace.
I took a deep breath as the Prince gave me a worry look. "I do, till death." I said quietly but the people managed to hear. The smile from his highness was dangerous.

"What are you waiting for?" The Duke said, referring to the Prince. "You may kiss the bride." Not even a second, I found myself being yanked into Garrett and his arm wrapped around my waist. His smirk was dangerous and he lower his head to kiss me. His lip were soft and delicious. I can feel his smile during our kiss, the crowd cheer as we pull away.

This is better than anything I dreamt of....
