CHAPTER 3

Cecilia and Heolstor's wedding day takes place today. All important people came to witness. Who would have thought that the Demon Emperor married a beautiful woman from the next kingdom. Everyone would want to know, who had made the Emperor captivated by her.

The servants are preparing me to be perfect for the wedding. The wedding dress, the wedding ceremony, the life that everyone is waiting for in their life. Honestly, whether I should be happy or not.

....

Wedding hall.

"You look beautiful my daughter."

The king stretched out his hand.

"Thank you dad."

"I pray, have a happy life with Emperor Heolstor."

I thought about father's words. A thousand questions occurred to me. Will I be happy? Do I deserve it?. Can I not disappoint them? Can I get through all these trials?.

The door to the altar opened. Cecilia walked towards the altar. Everyone was watching Cecilia. Unmatched beauty. Make everyone captivated by it at first sight. The king led Cecilia's hand towards Heolstor and left the altar.

"You look beautiful today."

"Thank you."

The wedding ceremony takes place. A man starts a marriage by saying congratulations and gratitude for the blessings on this beautiful day. Each bride will swear vows for their new life. Finally, Heolstor and I officially became husband and wife.

....

Wedding Banquet.

"Congratulations on your marriage, Your Majesty."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Me and Heolstor wedding banquet. Everyone congratulate and pray for our happiness. When the party I just silently watched everything. Silence of a thousand languages, like a doll that only stares at people's faces.

"Cecilia, want to dance?."

"....."

"What's wrong with you today?."

I was surprised when I heard his words and saw his face.

"Kya..."

Heolstor held Cecilia up like a bride and took her away from the banquet.

"What are you doing?, Everyone is looking at us".

Heolstor didn't listen.

Where will he take me?

Heolstor took Cecilia to an empty room and threw Cecilia on the bed.

"What are you doing?".

Heolstor drew closer to Cecilia.

"Wait, Your Majesty".

"Not like usual".

Heolstor whispered in my ear and I fell silent for an instant.

"What do you mean?".

"Princess Cecilia, today you are acting strange. I don't like seeing it".

"Sorry, I made you worry."

he worried about me?. Why is this man worried about me? Is this because of a side effect of the contract? This guy always makes me wonder sometimes.

....

Palace gate.

"Have a safe journey to your destination, Cecilia."

"Thank you mom."

Today I'm leaving the kingdom. Father and mother deliver me and say goodbye. I want to be with them a little longer. But, as long as they smile for me that's enough.

"Cecilia."

When riding a horse carriage. I kept looking at Cecilia. Her beautiful face looks sad. Maybe because she left his beloved family. Sometimes I feel bad for him.

"Cecilia, I wanted to ask you a question."

"What that?, Your Majesty?"

"Are you really willing to accept all this?."

Heolstor looked at Cecilia.

"At first I was not willing. But, after seeing everything that happened. I accept all this as long as I see everyone smile."

Cecilia looked at Heolstor.

"I'm willing to accept all of this."

Cecilia's gaze left me speechless. Is this who he really is?. What a beautiful gaze. A face that makes everyone fall asleep. Is this the woman who became my wife?.

Heolstor smiled.

"That's great, Cecilia."

...

Royal Capital.

When we arrived at the royal capital. I saw the horse carriage window. Crowded people who stood up and seemed to be cheering. I asked Heolstor.

"Your Excellency."

"What is wrong?."

"It looks very busy outside."

Heolstor looked out

"The people are welcoming their Empress."

"Empress, who?."

"Yourself."

I am Empress? I am not The Empress yet.

Cecilia was confused.

"We have arrived."

Heolstor unloaded Cecilia from the horse carriage. As Cecilia came down the crowd cheered on her.

"Empress Cecilia!."

"Empress Cecilia!."

"Welcome to our kingdom!."

"Empress Cecilia, you are very beautiful."

The sound of the people cheering made my ears hurt. Even when entering the palace. The cheers outside still sounded in my ears.

"Why do they call me Empress?, I'm not The Empress yet".

"You will be the Empress of this kingdom. Welcome, Cecilia Erebus Gausberto".

I will be the Empress of this country and forever one will be the wife of the vicious Demon Lord of the kingdom.

"See you tonight, Cecilia."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Heolstor leaves Cecilia.

Looks like I have to go around the palace. Wait, Heolstor said tonight ?. Later that night, where do you mean?.

...

a few moments later.

Bedroom.

So, this is what tonight means.

"What's wrong, Princess Cecilia?"

"Nothing, Your Majesty".

Everything looks awkward. He is wearing a nightgown. This is the first time seeing him wearing a nightgown. Because I always see him wearing formal clothes.

"Cecilia, I was wondering."

"What is it?, Your Majesty."

"Why did you cover yourself with a blanket?."

Heolstor looked at Cecilia.

"Because I'm wearing a nightgown. Even though we're married, it's not polite."

"Hmm, strange reason. But you covered yourself with that blanket for something else, right?."

This guy, why say such a thing?.

"Or you want to try it."

"What do you mean try it?."

Cecilia's face turned red.

"Never mind, I want to sleep."

I pulled the covers and covered myself apart from my face.

She fell asleep quickly. Is it because she was tired?

Cecilia shifted she sleeping position towards me. His body, which is still covered by a blanket, makes me laugh. How long has it been since I felt this feeling? I looked at Cecilia's face. I approached him and whispered.

Good night, Cecilia.

...

Sunlight shone on their window blinds.

"Hmm, what is this?."

"Princess Cecilia."

When I heard my name, I opened my eyes and found that I was hugging Heolstor.

"Kya ....."

.....

The dining room.

I hugged Heolstor. I hugged him like a pillow. Why didn't I realize?. How long have I held her?

"What's wrong?, The food is not good?."

"Ah, about that."

Heolstor stopped eating.

"Get the head chef."

Why did he call the head chef?.

A head chef entered the dining room and saluted.

"What's the matter ?, Your Majesty."

"My wife doesn't like the food you make."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

"You will be kicked out of the palace."

"Your Majesty."

Because seeing things getting worse. I stopped Heolstor's treatment.

"Wait, Your Majesty!."

"What's the matter, Cecilia?."

"I'm not saying I don't like this food. So, please forgive the chef."

Cecilia looked at Heolstor.

"All right, I have to go. See you later, Cecilia."

He leaves Cecilia and everything started to come back into control.

"Get up. You must be surprised because of this."

"Thank you, Empress Cecilia."

"I am not yet an Empress. Your food is very good. Therefore, I love the food you make."

The waiters and chefs are fascinated with Cecilia. Like seeing a goddess. The goddess who descended from the sky.

I have to be careful with my behavior and attitude. My life here will start today. I can definitely get through it all and live happily as planned.
