First Love: A Heart Unknown

Chapter Nine: Marriage

*3 months later*

    Falon and Lola helped Makenzie into a wedding dress.

    "Why do I have to marry when Taehyung is still in prison. I mean he will go back to the prison once its over," Makenzie whined as Falon tightened the torso.

    "And why is it so tight! It wasn't as tight a month ago!"

    "You probably gained weight stressing over the war," Falon said as she tied the dress and started with the hair.

    "You know you have to marry Taehyung so Jungkook can get off everyones ass about you being his bride" Lola chimed in

    Makenzie of course rolled her eyes. "Since the king is dead I don't have to marry Jungkook."

    "What have you been eating!!" Falon says tightening the dress making Makenzie make a ́oof ́ sound.

    "I've been eating food!"

    "Kayla, I know you've been visiting Taehyung weekly. Are you with a child?"

    "Why would I be?"

    "I know what you have been doing with Taehyung..."

    Makenzies smile disappears, "What if it's not Taehyung's..."

    Falon laughed thinking she was joking, but Lola gasped "What do you mean it might not be his."

    "Well you see... When I was with Jungkook in Etherion... He.. umm"

The smile quickly vanished from Falon's face.
"What! I'm gonna kill that bastard" Falon yelled and Makenzie quickly shushed her.

    "No! Dont! Please don't tell anyone."

    "This is serious" Lola exclaimed putting away everything and storming out with Falon following behind her in a rush.

~~~~~~~

Makenzie stood at the entrance to the courtyard. Her two best friends standing in front of her. "Lord help me from crying infront of everyone."

    Falon and Lola turned around and smiled at Makenzie. "We'll Always be here for you, except when you fuck up."

    The doors opened and she looked to see royals and nobles from all three neighboring kingdoms.

    Finally looking at the man in the middle, Taehyung. His crown stood tall on his head. They both knew they couldn't smile, but they couldn't help it they were so happy that they would be able to be together.

    She started down the aisle once her friends made it down several feet.

    They looked to the priest looked at the couple who was in front of him and smiled. "Everyone, today is a special day! A day were our prince has chosen his bride."

~~~~~~~

    "Prince Taehyung don't you take Makenzie to be your lovely wedded wife?" The priest said.

    "I do." Taehyung said facing Makenzie.

    "Makenzie do you take Prince Taehyung to be your lovely wedded husband?"

     "I do."

    As soon as the priest took a step back , Taehyung, took the ring from the cushion and looked Makenzie in the eyes "Even though I am just a prince, I will probably never gain the throne, however I promise to you that I will be a loyal husband and do my best to protect you."

    Taehyung slipped the ring onto Makenzies finger and they turned to the crowd. The bells rung and everyone cheered.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~

"To Duke Taehyung and Duchess Kayla!" Seokjin cheered as he raised his glass of wine. He looked at the two, they smiled and waved to the crowd from their seats.

As the food was brought out music started to play, Makenzie sighed and looked at Taehyung. He noticed and smiled at her which she could not help but smile back.

"Makenzie!" A feminine voice came from the crowd, Mackenzie looked around and noticed her mother and father walking towards her. "Mom! Dad!" Makenzie got up and hugged her parents.

Her father broke from the hug and left the mother and daughter to talk, while he walked over to Taehyung, "You protect my daughter, your grace. She has been through a lot already and has dealt so strongly with all the losses. However, we won't be there to comfort so that is your job now as her husband."

Taehyung looked at his wife's father and gave him a look but then it turned into a boxy smile. "Of course! I just hope I can give her a good life and that I won't cause too much trouble or loneliness when I have to serve my time back in the tower." After that Makenzie came over and the parents excused themselves from the couple.

"I hope he didn't cause you too much trouble!" Makenzie spoke to Taehyung as she giggled at the thought.

"Of course not. I understand fathers being protective." Taehyung said as he held her hand.

    "Excuse me for asking, but can I talk to your wife?" Lola said as she looked to Taehyung, her Teal dress swung low to the floor and she only had one sleeve. Makenzie looked to Taehyung and he nodded as she got up and followed Lola outside.

    Lola looked around before she faced Mackenzie, she finally spoke up after there was no one left, "Kayla! What are you thinking! You married him knowing it could cost your life!" She whisper-yelled to her friend.

    "I know! I know!"

    "You know?! Now that your married, and if that child is not his. He could have you beheaded. You would be dead!"

    "Lola shush! You don't know if its his or not?"
    "You don't either!"

     "Listen," Makenzie sighed, "I will tell him, but I can't tonight, I'll tell him in a couple of days."

    "Fine," Lola spoke pulling Makenzie into a hug, "Don't die on me, please"

    "I won't" Makenzie spoke hugging Lola back.
    Lola exits the room and goes to stand beside Jin, "Your majesty."

    Jin turns around and smiles to Lola, "Lola... Hows the bride"

    She smiled and spoke with joy, "She is very happy!"

    "Good, Good. Any news of Jungkook?" Jin said turning a more serious tone.

    Lola sighed and shook her head, "I am sure he has already heard of the wedding, but he has shown no response to it."

    "Good," Jin turns back to the festivities, "Hopefully he'll stay that way"

    "Now, let the couple go to there chamber," the announcer stated.
