Thread: Yes, Prin... cess? (IWishxRedThorn)

The doors opened and Alexis held his breath, shuddering slightly as suddenly all eyes were on him. those brilliant green eyes flicked to his father, gulping slightly before suddenly they were moving forward. He was supposed to marry that.. that.. Alexis couldn't even put into words what the prince was. His name. You promised. He whispered the words softly to his father as they slowly made their way down the aisle and towards the throne and a beautifully smiling man. Prince Kadin Dilak't. Alexis' father said the name softly right before they got to the man, Prince Kadin. Alexis himself couldn't help but give a small smile back at the man now standing beside him, giving a small curtsy when Kadin bowed. The sight of such a graceful bow made him sullen, it only showing on his face slightly as he looked to the king, Prince Kadin's father, as he spoke. Welcome to Isadoln! You are most welcomed here on this grand occasion the day we finally seal this peace treaty and set it in stone. With the union of our children we will be joined as sister kingdoms and all quarrels set aside. Alexis glanced at Kadin again, inspecting his face as he was most certain that Kadin was probably looking at him. Kadin was the kind of man he wanted to be. He was sure that the prince had females falling over him, probably even tried to get him to elope before this day but the fact that he was here only showed how determined he was as well to get this fighting to stop. That alone was a good quality but Alexis knew this wasn't going to be easy. After this ceremony he was going to have to some how convince Kadin that they didn't need to have sex, make up some kind of excuse or.. well, something. Alexis still had no idea how he was going to go about convincing Kadin to keep this marriage and not break the treaty. Somehow, someway. Those green eyes flashed to his father when his hand was grabbed, watching as Kadin's hand was taken as well so that his hand could be placed inside it. I give my daughter to you as my vow for peace. Those words seemed to seal it for Alexis. There was no more turning back now, They would be married soon. The rest of the ceremony went by in a blur as he stared at their joining hands, knowing he was shaking slightly. He truly did not want this, this union. He was a man, not some woman to be protected and watched over. To be outside the throne room while everyone else discussed the out come of the kingdom. He was supposed to be in Kadin's place. Not standing here in this dress. Slowly his eyes looked up at Kadin's face, watching intently as stood there. He could understand now how it felt to be standing in this position, knowing that having a ring placed on his finger meant that he was now married. He now belonged to someone. All his dreams, the throne, this took it all away from him. But.. he had to do this. when the ring was held out towards him he gently took it, gently biting his lip as he gently slipped it onto kadin's finger. I do. He almost whispered the words, keeping his eyes on the metal object he was slipping onto Kadin's finger before he held up his own hand, waiting for Kadin to do the same to him. Though it was only seconds later that five words were uttered that sent dark shivers through his spine. You may kiss your bride.
