A Warrior's Kiss ( A Merlin Fanfiction )

25 |

Last night Gwen and I had agreed on me wearing the dark blue silk gown , and I had recommended a lilac gown for her. During the wedding, we are to march down the aisle, past the audiences, and walk up the dais, I were to go to the left, since that was where Leon would be standing waiting for me, while Gwen to the other side.

The conductor had also decided Leon and I to say the wedding vows first, since Arthur is now the King he has to put a crown around Gwen's head since she is marrying to a King.

The wedding is at noon, so Gwen and I did last-minute checks in the preparations, and then both of us going up to my chambers, I thanked Gwen after she has braided my hair, then Abigail arrived to help us into our gowns.

"I'm so happy for the both of you!" Abigail squealed.

Gwen flashed Abigail a smile, "Thank you."

I gave Abigail one last hug before she sets a blue necklace around my neck, and had me wear blue-bejeweled earrings. I drew in a sharp breath as both Gwen and I stood outside of the Throne Room side by side, waiting for it to open to let us in.

One moment later, the doors were opened by the guards, and a gust of wind blew at us. Gwen flashed me a grin, and I returned it. Then I focused on making my way down the aisle without actually "tripping" on the carpet because this was my first time walking on heels.

Gwen practically helped me practise walking on heels last night that the both of us fell asleep while doing it. Though my ankle still aches, You can do it, Aurora. I thought.

I let out a soft sigh of relief once Gwen and I arrived and climbed the dais, I stepped in front of Leon and looked into his blue eyes while he looked into my green ones.

"Do you, Sir Leon, knight of Camelot, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The conductor asked, reading from a book while looking at us at the same time.

Which is creepy, I thought.

"I do," Leon answered, flashing me a smile.

"And do you, Aurora, Captain of the Royal Guard of Camelot, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The conductor asked.

I nodded, "I do," smiling.

"You may now kiss the bride,"

This is the moment he has been waiting for, I thought. Both of us drew closer to each other and finally our lips pressed together into a long kiss the crowd clapped and cheered.

And I forgot to mention, the conductor gave out wedding rings, and the ring he gave me was beautiful. He also have one too in his ring finger.

Both of us pulled away, and stood side by side watching as the conductor reads Arthur and Gwen's vows. I think Leon and I cheered the loudest when Gwen had received her crown and both of them had kissed.

I linked my arms with Leon's, and waved to the crowd. Gwen and Arthur did the same, and it made the crowd cheer even louder. I spotted Abigail standing beside Merlin in the corner, and flashed her a smile.

All of the subjects were happy to have two married rulers with two married fighters standing by their side advising their way to rule the right way.

It was good, don't you think?
