The Royal Wedding

Chapter 5

nd suddenly Caroline felt the ground moving under her feet, as if they didn't want to support her anymore. Caroline almost collapsed on the floor, but that was when Elena got up with and faced Caroline.

"Lord Klaus has left, but he has left you're answer with father" said Elena eagerly waiting for the answer herself. So they both turned to their father.

Who was now reading the letter Klaus had left.

" I apologize for my departure, but I had to take care of some unfinished business. I know I had ask for a week but now I have no doubts in my heart, thank you for you're hostility. I am eagerly waiting to return to Mystic Falls to bring Caroline with me. I intend that you have understood my point by now, my answer is yes, however the wedding is in 3 days because I cannot wait any longer, The King Of Rosewood is trying to acquire New Orleans! The tie should be broken soon to save Nola and Mystic Falls. Thank You!

- Niklaus "

King henry read with the biggest smile on his face, which brought some satisfaction to Caroline.

" I knew his answer was going to be a yes" Kol said as he got up from his seat. " But I must take your leave now, thank you for your hostility and we'll meet soon" said Kol and was soon gone.

Caroline wasn't sure how to feel, she had gotten what she had hoped for but it wasn't really her choice and soon she was going to be married off to him, that thought sent shivers down her body. WAIT? WHAT? 3 DAYS THIS IS CRAZY. She thought then turned to her father.

" 3 days? Mother will not be back by then" Caroline said confused, angry and scared all at the same time.

" We must manage then" the king said happily.

" Father you cannot be serious, this is ridiculous" Caroline screamed with tears running down her cheeks.

" Caroline, this is a matter of state and politics; we must use our brain and we must not let our emotions control us. " King Henry replied angry and disappointed at Caroline's reaction, then turned to Elena. Who was shocked and hadn't even moved or said anything.

" Elena, Inform you're mother about the circumstances, I am sure she will be delighted" the king ordered Elena. Who only nodded, and then soon the king vanished in the hallways of the palace to let his kingdom know he has fulfilled his duty once again.

" ELENAAAAAAA! ELENA?" Caroline screamed crying and eventually dropping on her knees…, which caused Elena to finally, move from her position.

"Caroline, its okay" she hugged Caroline tightly " It's what was meant to happen, its what mother would want" Elena try to calm Caroline, But Caroline cried louder, and buried her face in Elena's neck.

" Cry all you can now, because you cannot do it anymore".

Although Elena was comforting Caroline, she couldn't help but cry herself. Somewhere deep down she had hoped for a guy like Klaus for herself, but Caroline marrying Klaus in three days had crushed her hopes forever. What the hell is wrong with me? Klaus is going to be Caroline husband, what the hell am I thinking. She shrugged her negative thoughts and went back to comforting Caroline.

Kol had just arrived from mystic falls, he was wondering what caused Klaus departure, he was so confused by his brother's behavior and he wanted answers. He was now in the palace, looking for Klaus.

"Nik, Nik…" Kol screamed walking from one end of the palace to the other.

" M'lord, King Niklaus is in his study" one of the servants said.

"Thank you Edward" Kol replied, and made his way to the study, soon enough he reached the study to find Niklaus working on a drawing. But as soon as he approached him, Klaus hid his drawing.

" What's going on Nik" said Kol suspiciously

" You're back" Klaus said while putting back everything he was working on.

" Well, I dare think you wanted me to stay, plus I had to be here since the wedding is in three days" Kol teased.

" Yes that is right" said Klaus without any hesitation

" Do you have anything to tell me?" Kol asked

" No, I don't think so" Klaus replied while sitting one of the golden sofas of the study.

" Fine, but lets not forget this is just not about having to rule mystic falls" Kol said, asking in way.

" Sure it is, it's all about acquiring more power, and loyalty" Klaus said looking Kol in the eyes.

Kol looked at Klaus for a few minutes then left the study, leaving Klaus to his thoughts.

[Flashback]

" Fine. Caroline is stunning, isn't she?" ….

" Come On Nik! It doesn't have to get dirty, I was asking a question. But I can see the answer clearly" ….

As Kol left for his room, those words left Klaus paralyzed in a way, what did Kol mean by that? Why is he feeling such strange feelings? This is only a matter of marrying a suitable woman to safe his power and save her family. It is all commerce at last. But this woman, she makes me go insane, and I've only met her yesterday.

Klaus spent the rest of the night thinking about what Kol had said, how Caroline was affecting him and then suddenly he remembered.

" Nik, one day you will find something worth living for, and that day you will longer be bound to seeking loyalty with power, cause love is the greatest of all! Love conquers us all" he recalled Rebekah say before she left with the rest of his family to England forever.

Klaus was now furious at him for thinking what he was thinking, and soon got up to leave. This is bloody business, that is all, I will not let a feeling as silly as love, come in between my power and prejudice. He then decided to leave because he wanted to escape those thoughts, those feelings tormenting him. But before he took off he wrote a letter leaving behind his answer.

" Yes, I will marry Caroline! Because I need to save New Orleans and Gain Loyalty and Power In Mystic Falls" he said out loud while he finished writing the letter. He then walked to the servants' chambers and hand over the letter to Gorge.

" Make sure the king sees this first thing in the morning, I have to leave to take care of some things that have come up" Klaus ordered Gorge.

" Yes my lord" Gorge said with a smile.

Klaus begin to make his way to the carriage when he suddenly remembered the first time he had laid his eyes on Caroline…Bloody Hell, what is wrong with me.
