A Princess and Her Knight (Gency)

Chapter Eleven

<!> <!> WARNING <!> <!>

This chapter contains some sort of sexual interaction???
I promise there's no actual smex tho

Two of the human-like automatons grabbed each of her wrists, standing on each of her sides.

Angela gasped at the sudden, cold touch. Those nasty creations were something that she really didn't like. They looked so human that it was off putting. But in how uniform they acted and how there wasn't any human-like qualities such as warmth or the movement of a diaphragm, it was blatantly clear they were mere metal inventions.

Two more of the strange androids came on either side of her. However, they did not stop to grab ahold of her. They stood silently by the white curtain, the one that the blonde feared.
Their metallic fingers grasped the corners of the sheet with nimble hands. That was honestly quite impressive. Their hands and other ligaments seemed to work flawlessly with the dexterity of a master samurai.

Angela eyed them cautiously, wary that they'd do something.

And they did do something.
They lifted the curtain, revealing a horrific view that made her tense up and stiffen.

In front of her lay a long red carpet, stretching down an aisle and up some steps where there was a white pagoda with red roses that wrapped around the lattice work. Crimson flower petals lay along the side of the carpet and along the grass where rows and rows of packed benches were. Men and women in formal black and red attire lay seated on every bench, fully packing each and every one.
Music began to play and every bead turned to stare at her with intense gazes that made her feel uneasy.

The two maids at her sides began to pull on her arms with such force that she was compelled and made to begin to walk down the long stretch of velvety carpet.

As her own crystal blue eyes darted to and fro, scanning the entire scenario, she noticed a man standing to the side. Angela was unable to see his face, as he hid behind a mask, but there was something different about him.
You could see him stiffen when he saw her, meaning that he was loose beforehand, a sign of not being automated like most of the beings in the kingdom.
His eyes would widen and his hand would tighten.

As she was being forced to walk forwards, she glanced at his lips. He seemed to whisper a singular word, and it appeared to flow smoothly from his lips with familiarity. The word that came from his mouth was like silk as it fell from him.
He whispered the word that she should refer to as a name.
Three syllables.
That's all it was. But it made her begin to tug at the tight clutches of the automatons. She wanted away from their cold fingers and wanted to run to the man on the side.
She had a feeling about who it was, and it tugged at her heart. All she wanted was to be with them again.

As she was about to call out to him, one of the automatons clasped a hand over her mouth, preventing her from saying anything.
Tears began to well up in ber eyes as she still tried to fight their unrelenting grasps.

The man looked at her with sadness and regret in his eyes. He knew that she had recognized him and knew who he was. And seeing her struggle just to get away and come to him hurt his heart.
His eye's trailed up and down her body, dressed in white, and when be look at her neck, anger took over the sorrow he felt.
There, on her pale neck, were splotches of blue, grey, and red.
Hickies.
But what was worse, were the faint bruises that were barely visible through the makeup she wore.
Genji was outraged. Just by those things he saw, he knew that Angela had been forced into something completely unwanted.

He watched as his princess in white reached the pagoda, his whole body tensing and seething with anger. He wasn't going to follow what he had previously decided on.

"Genji...." Angela had whispered to her knight, her voice soft and laced in sweet pleasure.
He was kissing her neck, his lips caressing her tender, sensitive skin.
"I love you Angela..."
She had given him a smile, something that he had always loved to see.
"I love you too, my knight."

His eyes were full of lust as his lips trailed further down her body and to her collarbone. He bit down lightly, which caused the woman under him to gasp. The sound from her made him smirk with satisfaction, but then he stopped and his expression fell to something more serious. "Angela, before I continue, I need to know something. Are you... A virgin?"

Her arms that were around his own neck loosened. "Y-Yes, I am... And honestly Genji, I don't want to lose that innocence quite yet. So I apologize, if you wanted to go farther. In the future though, I'll give you the satisfaction of taking it when I'm ready. But for now... I have no intention of getting involved in such activities. With anyone."

Genji gave her a small smile and nod of understanding. "I would never force you to do anything you don't want to do my dear."

The princess propped herself up with one arm to reach his face. She let her lips meet his for a moment, enjoying the feeling of someone so caring and compassionate. "Thank you, Genji. Perhaps when we marry I'll be ready."

Genji knew she had been forced.
His eyes grew dark with rage. Reyes would pay. Although his greed had wanted him to be Angela's first, he was by far more angry at Reyes for forcing her.
He was a sick fuck for doing such vile things to his... Lover? Well, that's who she was to him, but if this ceremony went through, he nay not be able to continue to call Angela as such.

He moved away from where he stood, emotion driving him forwards, towards both the princess and Gabriel Reyes. They stood opposite each other, the priest before them reciting the all known words to marry someone.

"Do you, Gabriel Reyes, take this woman, Angela Ziegler, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in heath, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself solely unto her for as long as you both shall live?" The priest recited, all eyes going on the man dressed in black and red.

His mouth turned upwards into a smirk, "I do."

The priest then turned to the blonde woman in white, all of the audience transferring their gazes to her. "Do you, Angela Ziegler, take this man, Gabriel Reyes, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and health, to love, honor and obey, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself solely unto him for as long as you both shall live?"

Angela stood still and her lips parted as words formed. The consequences would be heavy if she didn't say the two words.
The words fell from her mouth with choking hesitation.
