I walked down the hallways of this underground palace. On both sides of me were guards of Princess Amentia's military, they hooked their arms around my arms so I wouldn't run away like before. I should have left with Stella when I had the chance too, but I wanted to pay respect to Sponsí for helping Stella and I. I held my slightly downward as I didn't want to be in this situation and marry Princess Amentia. My body was clothed the traditional clothing of a groom in Down Land. They were taking me to see Princess Amentia in her room. I just hoped that Stella and the others could come back and crash this unplanned and unloved wedding.

The guards were coming closer to Princess Amentia's room as I could hear some off-key humming echoing through the corridors of the palace. I glanced out the window imagining Stella would burst in here and blind the guards with her sun magic. Nothing happened, and no Stella insight. The guards silently opened the doors to the Princess room, and I see her sitting in front of her makeup mirror, putting on her lipstick. She was still humming that lawful made up tune she created.

"Your Highness, we have brought you your fiancé," the guard to my left announced as his and his partner's arms hooked around mine's.

"Good, leave him with me," Princess Amentia ordered as I gulped while the guards pushed me forward. "I hope everything for the wedding is properly in order?"

"We're doing everything in our power, ma'am," the guard that used to be on my right replied, sounding scared and unsure. "But there is a slight delay,"

A delay? Perfect time for Stella and our friends to swoop in and save me!!

"A delay? Did I make myself clear?" Princess Amentia stomped over to the guards as they almost trembled in their sandals. "I WANTED EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT, AND I EXPECT PERFECTION!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN IT GOES WRONG???"

Princess Amentia drew a big X on the right guard's half helmet with her red lipstick. The other guard stood there, frozen and shock. I pray that this delay keeps on extending as it buys more time for my friends and Stella to get here. But for the time being, I'll stall to add additional time for them to do this rescue.

"Yes, ma'am!" The guards saluted her holding their weapons tightly on their other hand as they were shoved out by Princess Amentia.

Princess Amentia's hands were on the door as she closed it shut. She then turned around so she can face me. On Princess Amentia's face, she had a bashful smile like she was embarrassed. An unattractive laughed erupted from her throat while her eyes sparkled over at me. I slightly marched over to the bed as I knew it was my time to buy my future heroes some time to save me.

"I'm so sorry, Your Highness, that our wedding delayed!" I almost laughed with pure joy as I quickly remembered I have to stay in character.

Princess Amentia eyes twinkled for a strange reason. She then glided like a feather in the wind over to me with a loving smile on her lips. Princess Amentia was coming towards me swiftly as I circled her as I tried my best to block her affectionate gesture. I couldn't prevent it since I stumbled on the bed as Princess Amentia was on top of me. She begged me to 'kiss her' while I was hoping I didn't throw up on the Princess's face.

"Why wait for the wedding to kiss me!" Princess Amentia asked with this strange look on her face.

My face started beating with sweat. I was scared to kiss her, let alone have her in this dangerous position. Princess Amentia puckered her lips as she was going in to kiss me.
