~Princess Rydel~

I woke up in the most defining day of my life with a strange feeling :

Excitement.

I'm beyond excited to marry Ellington.It is not even about becoming the queen officially and finally.It is about becoming a wife.

I'm nervous,excited and just so anxious.I am so glad we chose the morning for the wedding because otherwise I'd have flipped of how anxious I am.I want everything to be perfect and to run in the right timing.

I made Riker promise he'd be ready two hours before so that he wouldn't delay me.Riker is taking me to the altar.I am really missing my dad today which is obviously just making me even more anxious and therefore nervous.

'Rik,your sister is about to get married.Loosen up a bit.' Savannah says softly to my brother.Riker has a lot in common with me.One of those is that we are very impatient when we want something to get over with.

'I'm ready.' I tell Riker.He turns his attention from Savannah to me.He immediately smiles when he sees me.

'Rydel,you look breathtaking.' Riker is calling me beautiful? A thing I don't hear often from my teasing brother.

'Thanks,Rik.' The ceremony is being held out of the castle.Ellington wanted the people to know that this is away bigger than the alliance.He wanted my people to feel included.One of the things that made me love him the most.

The church in the central of the city is the place we decided.It might be small for the standards we have but it just made the ceremony more cozy.When I entered the church,all I could see was Ellington.He looked completely handsome.I have never seen him so handsome like that.Maybe because he was wearing a full suit and he normally rocks the modern style as my designer says.

The ceremony is quick in my perception.We say the I do's.For someone who's not in his kingdom,King George seems to be thinking this alliance gave him a sense of power inside my kingdom.It gave his son power,not him.

'King George is asking for a private meeting as soon as possible to discuss how many soldiers we will be sending to their war.' Riker informs me at the party.I look at Ellington standing in front of me and he also looks surprised.

'Soldiers I'll be sending?' I ask my brother confuse but I don't take my eyes off my husband.

'I didn't marry you for soldiers if that's what you are thinking.' Ellington defends himself.

'Rydel,you just become our official queen.The people doesn't want war now that they are celebrating.' Riker warns me.

I seriously have to deal with politics on the day of my wedding? Ohhh,fuck it.

'Riker,why don't you tell my father his plane leaves tomorrow in the first hour?' Ellington suggests.

'Because he wants to stay!' Riker exclaims annoyed.

'Well,as Prince consort of kingdom of Abemia I want him gone.' I raise my eyebrows in shock at my husband's word.Riker seems to be more shocked yet.

'Prince consort?' Riker repeated his words as if they didn't fit Ellington.

'Well,my father is still alive.I am not a king.I am a prince.' Ellington explains like my brother is stupid.

'Riker,this my wedding.Just do Ellington says and we'll deal with that later on.' I put a hand in his arm.Riker looks at me with those eyes that say I told you so.

'I don't wanna talk politics,brother.' I tell Riker and he nods stepping away.

I observe as he pushes Rocky to the side.I haven't realized to this day that maybe Riker was right.My marriage for me means love and respect but for everybody else,it just means the stubborn princess is now a married stubborn queen who needs to do whatever her husband says.
