"God is looking down on us, Elizabeth your getting married to The King Of England. This will change our lives forever. Will you have a big wedding?" I giggled at my mother's reaction to what I had just told her, although she was trying to control the volume of her voice as I told her to keep it a secret.
"No mother, we will have a small private wedding. I was hoping to ask you to be a witness in case everyone ever dare to claim our marriage invalid."
"Of course Elizabeth, but don't go into something without something in it for you." My mother gives the best advice. So when she does give me advice I take it to heart.
"Yes mother"
The next day, I had to be extra quiet to not wake up my sisters. As I got ready, I knew that this day would change my life forever. I will no longer live and ordinary life. I will soon be queen Of England, because u like my father and brothers I do not believe Edward would betray. I got into my outfit, I did my hair. Once I finished I walked outside, and me and my mother walked to the church near our home. Where there we met Edward and his priest. Edward and I kissed before entering the Church. I don't think I've ever been this happy in my entire life.
Edward brought me this happiness that I would cherish for the rest of my life. We walked into the church to start the marriage process.
When the priest asked for a ring to place in the Bible Edward got nervous.
"Oh no I forgot the ring, I'm so stupid Mrs Rivers do you have a ring I could borrow?"
"I have one" I took off the ring I had on my finger. Gave it to Edward, and he placed it in the Bible.
Once we were finally married Edward told the priest not to tell anyone of our marriage and payed him.
My mother soon gave us keys to our Family Lake house. Where me and Edward were to spend the rest of our day.
I woke up laying naked in bed seeing Edward getting dressed.
"Where are you going?"
"There's another battle, I must go."
"Must you go, Edward you could die."
"I will not die, I will die beside the most beautiful queen England has ever known. You." My husbands words touched me, but we seemed more as lovers than a married couple. We were keeping our relationship a secret until Edward is able to tell the court he is married to me.
"Can't you stay here with me, forever."
"If only I could. I promise I'll be back later." Hearing his words I got up and started to put my clothes on.
He took this as a sign that I was mad at him. But I simply wanted to be dressed so I could go out and wave him goodbye.
"Elizabeth are you leaving.?"
"No, I am going to wave you goodbye. Now I can't do that naked now can I?" He smiled at me, and I smiled back.
We both walked out the door. Edward started to climb his horse, he looked at me. I looked back..
"Goodbye My Queen" And He rode away into the trees.
"Elizabeth!!"
I turn to see my brother Antony come out of the Trees.
