             Leonidas ordered for a grand party, inviting all his near and dear ones. The party began. Different types of candles made the place as bright as heaven and a fountain at the center. Young girls, dressed up in white gown like Angels, stood at the entrance to greet the guests. Leonidas invited his daughter Liliyan. Edward was already there. Leonidas took hold of her hand and led her on to the stage. She wore a white gown, she was so beautiful that even the stars hid themselves, with full of shame.

           The priest was already present there. The priest began the ceremony. And then came the part to say their vows and Liliyan was the first one to go.

          She started, "I Liliyan Ebner, take you Edward Knight, to be my husband, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, and she slipped the ring on his finger.

           After that it was Edward's chance," I Edward Knight take you Liliyan Ebner to be my wife" Edward began as he held both her hands,"I swear to love and protect you at every step of our lives,I will hold you and protect you .Your happiness will be mine and sorrows as well " he said seriously as he pushed the ring gently on her ring finger.

            "I now pronounce you man and wife",the priest said as everyone began clapping," You may now kiss the bride."

               Edward took a step forward not wasting anytime,his arms going around her waist,and kissed her. And he said "Finally you are mine."

                After the wedding they all moved to another place. It was near Leonidas's castle. All sorts of food was arranged and the dancing ground was waiting for everyone.

             Leonidas ordered the party to begin. They all started dancing. Servants ran here and there serving wine.

              After sometime Edward came back and he took hold of Liliyan's hand and led her to the dancing ground.

             While dance he said in a soft voice,"Lili...My sweet heart,you don't know how happy I am today. I feel like no man on Earth is as lucky as I am."By saying so,he pulled her towards him and kissed her.

                  Liliyan could sense some changes in Edward. He started speaking again,"Ohh!! my Liliyan.... I have seen you a couple of times before. You are like a lamp,which can fill light in my dark castle.....

                   Liliyan realized that he is not Edward and she tried to push him away from her. But all her attempts proved to be worthless. By seeing his daughter struggling, Leonidas ordered his guards to take hold of him.

               The assaulter caught a guard and bit him on his neck and declared that he is the Dark Lord and no man on Earth can ever stop him. He wore a black robe,which was as black as coal, long teeth and blood which covered his lips and throat made him a scary figure. He grabbed Liliyan and flew towards his castle.

               Edward followed them, with great speed,he ran. Edward stroke the dark Lord with his mighty sword. This made him fall down. Edward ran towards them and pulled up Liliyan from there.

           His anger led his transformation. His claws started coming out and jaws and teeth expanded. They started fighting. When the dark lord realized that he is not capable enough to defeat Edward,he withdrew.

               "Come back, you coward....come back and fight like a man." declared Edward.

                  For this the Dark Lord turned back and said "King Edward!!!!! I will have my revenge for this and you will repent for what you have done." and he then turned into a colony of bats and fled.

              Edward lifted up Liliyan and rushed back towards the palace as she was unconscious.

                The next day, Edward along with Liliyan and few guards, started their journey towards the capital city, Edward's home. On the way, Edward was continuously thinking about the incidence which held within the past few hours. It was like a horror dream for him.

               "Dinner is served." declared Amelia as she entered, so as to make Markus and Ignishious realize that King Edward had made them skip lunch.
