A Kept Promise. [Hakuryuu × Morgiana]

Wedding

[[IMPORTANT]]: This is technically not the last chapter, since there's an epilogue, so don't remove this book from your library, there still is a last chapter. Carry on.

Waking up sweating, hands shaking, breath hitching, and hair sticking to your forehead because of sweat. Guess who? No, not me every Monday before school. It's Hakuryuu.

Saying that he was scarred was an understatement; he was absolutely terrified. He couldn't even tell if it was the good terrified or the bad terrified; yet again, is there even a good one?

Today was his wedding, with the love of his life. Today was three weeks after his confession. Which means, the date of the their wedding that Kougyoku and Hakuei planned has arrived.

And he was freaking out. He as getting married, with the person he loved the most in the world. What if something bad happens? What if an accident happens? What if his overjoy makes him faint while putting the ring in her finger? What if--

"Hakuryuu, what the hell are you still doing in your bed, moron!?" His thoughts are interrupted by Judal's entry in his bedroom.

Hakuryuu looks up at him, with wide, scarred eyes. "I'm late? I'm late, aren't I? It's over, isn't it? She married someone else, didn't she? It's--" His rambling is interrupted again by Judal.

"Shut up! Now come and stop freaking out like a kid who lost his mummy's groceries list." Judal orders, and drags Hakuryuu by his arm. "Let's make you presentable." He smirks, and they start walking into the dressing room, where a great number of maids await for him, to start dressing him.

Meanwhile, in Morginana's room, Kougyoku is about to have a panic attack.

"What do you mean, you lost the ribbon?!" Kougyoku yells at one of the maids, who was supposed to take care of the bride's clothes.

"I'm sorry, Hime-sama. But don't worry, I'll ask the couturiere to make a new one right now." She replies shaking, and exits the room.

"It's okay, Kou-chan. It's just a ribbon." Says Morgiana, softly.

"Okay, okay. I'm fine, I'm breathing, I'm alive." She sighs soudly, "Let's do your hair!" She exclaims and runs to put Morgiana on a chair, and starts adjusting her hair.

"You'll be the most beautiful bride ever, trust me. I'll make sure of this." Beams Kougyoku.

"Thanks, I'm counting on you." Smiles Morgiana.

" 'You sure it's okay like that?" Asks Alibaba, turning around in front of a body length mirror, to check his clothes.

"Alibaba-kun; for the hundredth time, yes!" Groans Aladdin. They spent at least two hours deciding on what Alibaba would wear.

They were pretty excited. The wedding would take place at the Kou Empire, though Sindria was joining them. Sinbad and his generals were on their way to Kou. Also, all the populace of the empire were aware of the wedding. Everyone was happy for their Prince, therefore, they decorated the entire empire for the occasion. It was going to be enormous.

The main garden was decorated with thousands of flowers, and velvet tissues all over the place. Simply put, it was perfect.

Everyone was getting prepared, maids running around the palace to make sure that everything was in place. Not only Sindria was joining them, but the other kingdoms too. The Prince of one of the most powerful countries was getting married, it was huge.

So when it was finally the time, when the guests were all settled in the throne room, when Hakuryuu was up the throne's podium, beside his brother and king, Kouen, when Morgiana was marching the steps of the long way to join Hakuryuu on the platform in her gorgeous attire, with her her hair up in a beautiful bun, her long red and white royal kimono, a smile tugging on her lips, holding Alibaba's arm. It was all too surrealistic. It was too perfect to be true; Hakuryuu was trembling, he was feeling anxious, and overwhelmed. It was now happening, the moment, the big moment.

Arriving at the final step of the pladium, Morgiana turned and faced Hakuryuu. Seeing her this close, the raven haired prince's heart skipped a beat a at the beauty before him. Oh, good lord, please don't let him drool all over the floor. Thanks to Judal, who threw a little ice freezing cube in Hakuryuu's neck, he was brought back from his daydream.

Kouen stood up from his throne chair, and walked to the future married couple. "People of Kou. Brothers and sisters from other kingdoms. We are reunited here today, to seal this blooming relationship. To seal their love; for a life full of happiness, trust, care, and love. I, the king of the Kou Empire, am honoured, and proud to announce the marriage of the third Prince of the Kou Empire, Hakuryuu Ren, and the Fanalis warrior, Morgiana. With this sword on their shoulders, they devote their lives for this marriage."

Kouen takes out his sword, and places it on Hakuryuu's shoulder, then on Morgiana's.

"Pround of you, baby brother." Whispers Kouen, with a warm smile. A genuine one. He was truly happy that his little brother dropped his revenge, and quit the dark side.

Hakuryuu smiles at him, and nods, as a thank you, then takes a silver ring, holds Morgiana's left hand, and lifts it to slide the silver object in her forth finger.

"With this ring, I swear to protect you, to cherish you, and to love you for the rest of my life. Make you happy is my number one priority now, and I won't let anyone that made you sad get away alive, even if they try to bribe me with candies, I love candies, maybe a little more than you." The audience laugh at his words, and Morgiana giggles a little. "Eh, who can resist sweets? Though.. you represent my entire life now, my whole existence. I promise to love until my last breath."

A blush creeps its way on Morgiana's cheeks, as she smiles up at the brave man before her. She picks up another silver ring, and holds his left hand, finally sliding the ring into his forth degit as well. "And I promise to never leave you, always love you, and try not to slap you if you start crying about your weaknesses, like you did in Zagan's dungeon."

Everyone erupts in a laugher, which causes Hakuryuu to blush in embarassement, mumbling incoherent words under his breath. When the audience calms down, Morgiana speaks again, "Because you are most definitely not weak. You are strong, brave and determined. That is the man I fell for." She smiles.

His eyes twinkle at her words, touched deeply. He slides an arm around her waist, brings her closer to him and kisses her lips so sweetly that when the author, a.k.a me, pictured it, cried.

Cheers, whistles and claps submerged the entire room. It finally happened, what a big moment.
Two souls reunited after a long separation. Now it's two hearts in one home, they would never feel alone, because now, they're each other's home.
