Back to you

3 months after

Hello, guys, It's been a long journey and I had such pleasure writing that book. I am extremely thrilled that you like the book and when I see the votes and the reads, it fills my heart. THANK YOU!!! Thank you so much. My reward is your delightfulness. Even for the future, I won't make my book paid because it's unfair for you. Now I put an end to this book and I promise, you-fans, will like the ending.  

ASTRID HOFFERSON 

That's it. I was looking outside the window, the morning when my wedding is occurring. I'd just woken up and just now I realised that this is my last day being a Hofferson and last day being just a normal girl. From this day on, I will be the queen of the country and of the man that is preparing in the other room right now.  

I looked at the dress. My dress. A posh, white gown that was supposed to be associated with my purity and virginity. Although that's not true, it doesn't make me sad or bothers me in any way. My happiness is beyond expressing and I can't wait to see him and vow before God and all those people that will be there, witnessing our marriage. While looking with admiration at my dress, I heard my mother knocking and coming into the room.  

-Is the bride ready.- her voice is so melody and she has a huge grin on her face. 

I smile back.- Hi mom.- and ran towards her for a hug.  

- My little girl is getting married. Ohh, look at me, repeating what every mother tells her daughter.- her laugher is genuine and a bit rough.- Now, let's do something with that hair of yours, shaw we?- she looked at me amused touching some of my dishevelled golden locks. 

I giggled.- Ok. 

A minute after, Rachel appeared with a bottle of wine. 

-Hey A, it's your wedding day girl.

- I know Ruff, stop yelling.- I yelled back with a smile. 

- Let's knock you off.- she put a hand over my shoulders. I looked at my mother. Surprising, she was smiling. 

- Girls, this reminds me of my day. I  was just a little drunk too. You know, it adds to the blush of the cheeks. It does not harm anyone. 

I looked baffled. - Who are you and where is my mom? 

-I just had to be tough to raise you properly for a future queen. Now my job is done. Fill the glasses Rachel.- she hanged her over. Laugh and warmness surrounded my room. With the wine in hand, I directed to my gown and corset. This will be hard I thought. Can't wait till the night he that painful this will be put off my body. Only from the thought, I blushed harder. And no, it wasn't because of the wine. 

HENRY HADDOCK 

That's it. I just woke up and eagerly hop up from the bed, widely awake to get dressed. She is going to be mine. My wife, friend and queen. With these thoughts, I pulled my shirt and started buckling the buttons. Today is going to be an amazing day. I just can't wait to hold her against me.  

After 3 hours of fussing around and trying to get ready I hed down to the opening. The carriage was already there waiting for me to head to the church. This only filled me with more anticipation.

HENRY HADDOCK 

Everyone was gathered and the only one we were waiting was the bride. I stood next to the priest and wondered what to do with my hands. My crown was on my head and the whole warrior armour, I am supposed to wear as a sigh of my nobility. Nervous is hard to say. The moment she touches my sweaty hands, she will find out. Unless my worried expressing didn't expose me first.  

The music. Everyone stood up. I forgot how to breathe. There she was. Covered all in white and holding a bouquet of red flowers. The veil covers her face and she is looking down. Her hair is put back and the beautiful tiara on her head, holding the veil, only added to her magnificent look. The dress. Oh my, this was a masterpiece. Pure white gown, designed for a queen. With fallen shoulders, lace, pearls and other decorations at the bodice and at the end of the skirts. BEAUTIFUL. That was the word that came instantly in my mind. I caught myself staring at her when her gaze met mine. Love, that's what her look was saying.  

She was holding her father's hand and slowing started approaching me, alongside with the music. The moment Artur hanged her hand to me he said out loud.- I give you my precious. Keep it safe.-His gaze said the unspoken threat "or there won't be a lot left of you". I tried to cover my worry and smiled back and took Astrid's hand. Now my attention was all on her.  I took both her hands in mine and collided out eyes. 

The priest started. After our 'I do's' I kissed her in the most powerful and sensible way possible. 

-Lords and ladies, prince Henry and princess Astrid.- pronounced the priest. We faced the crowd with holding hands, giggling at the cheers and the clappings.  

Our eyes met again. I smiled softly and gave her a perk on the lips. My wife, my beauty, my everything. 

ASTRID HADDOCK 

Finally, I felt complete. Here am I, proclaimed as a princess, married to the love of my life. My best friend and now my husband. It couldn't be more perfect. From the moment I saw him after I got out of the carriage 6 months ago, I knew that we were meant to be together.  

-I love you, my husband.- I told him with a grin on my face. 

- I love you too, my princess.- he kissed my hand and dragged me for another kiss. The crowd got wild.  

That's own happy end.  

Correction- our happy beginning. So much to come and happen. All it, with this man next to me who loves me beyond everything.  

If you guys want me to write an epilogue, tell me. Otherwise, I will leave the story like that.
