The flowers were fragrant, filling the air with their sweet aroma. There was a huge cake with a little groom made of sugar, standing right next to a tall bride, also made of sugar. Few guests were gossiping about the odd celebration they were about to witness. Since Malleus’ overblot, the word got around: the last Bladeville Prince was alive. And not only that, but he was also one of the Crown Prince’s retainers. Despite his position as a prince, he never felt the urge to claim land. He knew exactly who it belonged to. He mentioned both his father and prince that he wanted to give it back to Briar Valley’s Queen. It was the right thing to do. But he never imagined that the only way to do so was to marry the queen. So there he was. Wearing his silver armor. Holding a bouquet of white flowers. His father wearing his old General armor too. “Oh my sweet boy! I can’t believe you’re getting married!” Lilia chirped as he fixed his son’s cape. They were both standing in front of a mirror. “This is one of the happiest days of my life. You are all grown up.” “Father, please” Silver said trying to remain calmed. “Of course, of course, wedding jitters! Take deep breaths, I’m just walking you down the aisle, your bride will be there. She’s the most beautiful woman of all the kingdom and…” “SILVER!” Sebek entered into the room. He was wearing his armor too. Such a special day deserved their best clothing. “Her majesty is ready. It’s time” The knight took a deep breath. The music began. Lilia held Silver by his arm, smiling. Some guests looked at them with real confusion drawn on their faces. Silver walked with all the dignity he could gather in the few minutes he spent with his father before the ceremony. He reached the altar and the priest nodded at him, as a reassuring gesture. “It’s for the kingdom” whispered the knight for himself “I hate to say this, but you are braver man than I” Sebek said while taking his spot as the best man of the groom. The sound of all the guests standing up and the unmistaken introduction of the wedding march marked the moment of truth. Silver gulped and took a deep breath, just as Lilia told him to do. He turned to see his future bride. The towering figure of Queen Maleficia walked regally through the aisle. A faint smile on her face. The priest started the ceremony. They agreed to skip the vows. They were just going to seal the deal as a contract. Silver felt a shiver when the man asked him if he vowed to marry the woman beside him. He took her hand and with a firm voice declared “I do”. The queen smiled and declared the same, putting a ring on Silver’s finger. “By the power invested on my by the Queen and the Senate, I declare you husband and wife” the priest said. “You may kiss the bride”. Silver gave the woman a kiss on the cheek. Lilia cheered while Malleus clapped. Sebek wiped a tear and the guests remained silent. “Your majesty” said Lilia approaching the newlyweds “you may call me “dad”” he added with a broad smile. “I shall not” “Oh, come on! You married my boy” he teased, hoping the queen did not send a lightening towards him. “Oh, look” Malleus said looking outside “fireworks” He had a smug smile on his face. Those weren’t fireworks for sure. Those were the Senate burning in despair. The heir of their enemy, the son of the very own Lilia Vanrouge was now the consort of the queen. Even only in name, he was now royalty. And that was something they couldn’t stand. Malleus knew it, and he was amused to see them, finally, exploding and going to the place they belonged.
