章 51: Part LI.
The hall is packed up with people, they look just like humans, exactly like humans. I don't know what I was expecting them to look like but I had a little doubt they'd look completely human.
Everyone's on their feet, some with smiles directed to Sean while others with glares directed towards- you already know who. I can see Joe, Adrian and Miranda in the very first row along with other people who seem powerful as well.
There's one weird thing though which is aside the smiles and glares, there's awe and surprise in their eyes.
"Why are they looking at me surprised?" I whisper to Sean while keeping a fake smile on my face.
"You'll be surprised too when you find out." He says and walks down the aisle towards the front row still holding my hand. Huh? I'll be surprised too?
"Congratulations Sean." Joe says once we're there and embraces him briefly but I do my best to avoid every eye, especially Miranda's.
"Thank you." He responds.
"You too Crystal." He says to me and hugs me briefly as well.
"Thanks." I say, still feeling awkward and weird to be smiled at or talked to by anyone who isn't Sean.
"Congratulations." Adrian says surprisingly and holds out a hand which Sean takes immediately, smiling at him and he nods towards me as well which I smile at in response. Hm, that was weird in a way.
"Hey." Miranda says and hugs me tightly, surprising me and scaring me a little as well but I try my best to keep my composure and that plastic smile on.
"Congratulations Your Majesty!" She pulls back and curtsies a little, laughing lightly and I laugh as well.
"Thank you. You don't have to call me that." I say smiling and Sean nudges me slightly with his elbow in disapproval but I ignore it, "how are you doing?"
"It's good to be back." She responds smiling, "you look really beautiful. I finally see why Sean chose you." She touches my hair and looks at it weirdly making me feel a little uncomfortable but I smile nonetheless.
"Thank you, you look amazing too." I say in all sincerity, her short blue dress showing off her smooth skin and her body is just as flawless as ever.
"Thank you," she grins, "Sean got this dress for me on my last birthday. Isn't it pretty." She twirls around in the dress and I smile awkwardly.
"It is."
"I know," she takes my left hand and looks at me seriously, the bright smile disappearing from her lips. "Crystal, don't flatter yourself honey. These people would never take you as their queen." I know she said this last bit to spite me and I look at Sean but he's caught up with greetings. My eyes scan the hall and see the people talking amongst themselves, still shooting glares at me and frowning.
A little girl catches my eye and her lips curve up into a smile but a woman, I'm guessing to be her mother, turns her away from me and gives me the stink eye which I quickly look away from and back at Miranda. She was mean, but right. The fact that they hate me and I can never lead them is hard to accept and bitter to chew but that doesn't make it any less of the the truth.
"Yeah" I say still smiling but remove my hand from hers. I should have known her new found kindness towards me was fake. "You neither."
She keeps her smile unwavering but you can see the resent in her eyes. Such an ungrateful bitch, I should've just let Sean do with you what he wanted.
"Shall we?" Sean says and I nod slightly, smiling at Joe, Adrian, Miranda and two extra men that stood with them as we walked out of the hall, everyone bowing as we walked out. Once we're outside the large door, there's no one but I still feel tense and keep up my queenly stance afraid of hiding eyes.
There's a beautiful long hallway ahead of us and Sean walks forward while I walk and try to keep up with his long strides, my shoes killing my legs. We pass by at least six doors on either side of us making it twelve in total before finally stopping at the end of the hallway in front of another large door, just like the wedding hall's.
Automatically, the door opens up for us and as we walk in, my mouth opens up in amazement. Can a room be any more beautiful than this?
A really wide king sized bed, with golden designs and patterns sit royally in the middle of the really large room, thick golden drapes hanging gorgeously on a rod on the right wall of the room and cream coloured curtains beneath it, the sun set shining beautifully through it.
There's a large round cushion with small pillows sitting in front of a floor length window with thin roller blinds and I walk towards it, opening it slightly and see we're really high up but down below, I can see people exiting a really large gate - manned by two scary men on either side - in twos and threes while some groups stood and chatted.
Miranda's words comes back to me and as I remember the woman and child, a certain sadness settles in my heart.
"They don't like me." I say to Sean who's already sitting on the bed.
"They'll have to come around eventually." He tries to comfort me but I shake my head slightly, joining him on the bed.
"I don't want that." I say and he gives me a puzzled look, "I don't want them to have to do it, I want them to want to do it. I don't want to rule by force or be loved out of fear. That's just, wrong."
"Don't think about it now," he tries to comfort me and takes my hand in his, "it's our wedding night."
My eyes widen and heart beat accelerates as my brain interprets the meaning of that sentence.
"Before you get all nervous," Sean says mockingly and my face turns red, "there's something I'd like to show you."
"Huh? What's that?"
"Come." He says and drags me by my hand towards a door on one side of the room and as we enter, I see it's a walk-in closet. So many beautiful clothes hang in here with matching shoes beneath them and just ahead is a really wide shoe rack with lots and lots of shoes. There's another rack where bags and purses are arranged and as we walk in deeper, I see different expensive looking jewelries that makes my eyes widen. Are all these for me, alone? Oh my fucking god. This is so amazing.
"Wow." I breathe out.
"This isn't what I wanted to show you." He says and I frown at him in confusion.
"There." He points to the side and I turn to see a wide floor length mirror. Frowning, I walk closer to it and once my eyes catch my reflection in the mirror, they grow painfully wider than they've ever been before.
