Four days passed like a wind and there were finally one day left for the Royal wedding to take place. Levyndrion was supposed to go at Dillonia and marry Audrey which was super challenge due to some continous threats at the borders. He couldn't just leave his Kingdom alone, he could just teleport to Dillonia but then still he would a thorough plan before that, which is why he called for his secret witch as well as secret shadow warriors that usually used when an emergency comes up.
She was serving the Kingdom of Ximpton since in the late King's era. Levyndrion had a lot of enemies waiting for a right timing to strike, once they knew that he was out of the Kingdom then it is over.
At Dillonia ....
The Palace was very hectic in decorating the church that was built in the Palace for special occasions like this, for King Jeremy it was also for his family's safety, they could just pray inside instead going outside and endanger their lives, the royal family can't be roaming around like everyone else.
Audrey tried her level best to convince her parents but it was futile cause the day she was getting married is here, her sweet and colourful little world was shuttered to pieces and turned into a dark one overnight.
She was helpless and hopeless not even her brother Phelipe could help her out with this, and today she was sitting in jer room waiting for the night to come so she could married to her cousin.
Everybody knew the tale of the cruel and good looking King if Ximpton who melts only to one woman, the woman that is always by his side, even a five years old could tell about it. She shook her head looking at her wedding dress by the hangers, a single tear fell down her cheek .
Shortly a guard came knocking informing her that the General had come to escort her to the royal secret room, there was an emergency meeting. She signed and got up from her seat wiping away her tears with the back of her hand, she stepped out and followed the General silently. When she arrived she found both of her parents were already there, "Good evening papa, mama" she bowed formally her face was blank, "Good evening dear" said her mother 'There is nothing good with this evening' she thought within her , "You may sit" this time her father said, she sat at the front facing both if tben with her emotionless face, she already gave up convincing these two and now she was ready for anything.
"You called for me" she mumbled facing the floor, the silence was killing her, she just wished they could talk and finish so that she could go back. Jeremy sighed, now his daughter won't even look at him "Yes dear... I called for you to inform you can cancel the wedding if you want to" he paused to see her forehead deepening with a frown, Hah! one moment they were forcing her to get married and the other one they tell her that she could call it off! Just what the hell is going on with them?, she stayed quite looking at the floor "But ... you will have to listen to me first, at least listen to what I have to say first and then make your decision" she heard him saying with concern, she raised her head and nodded in response.
King Jeremy exhaled as his wife gave him a nod too "You might think were the cruelest parents now for marrying you off without your consent but honey .... no... parents would never want any harm to befall their childrens, they would do what they think is right for them" Audrey looked bored none of her father's words touched him.
"Same thing with us marrying you off to Levyndrion, there is a reason dear, Levy needs you" his last sentence catched her attention, Why would Levy need him? Okay! this was a new twist to her. "And why would he need me for papa?" she faced her father this time and the poor man's heart shattered by her painful face, he could see how much hurt she was. "Yes dear Levyndrion needs you beside him, you are important to him more than anything, he might not see that now but then when he does, the two of you would understand why we married you off" supported her mother , she massaged her temples with both of her hands, if any of this continues then her head would burst out of anger. "Stop it you two! you are just confusing me! Why are doing this to me? At least explain to me so I could understand !" she couldn't in jer tears any longer and bursted into loud sobs.
Her parents looked at each other with knowing looks "Then I would make you understand, but whatever I am about to tell you shall remain a secret " he saw no reason to hide the matter anymore, she is all grown up and the sound of her cries feels like killing him and then bringing him back to life continously. Although he won't tell her everything now, she has the right to know even a bit of it, just as much as she could handle would be fine for now. Be knew that even if he doesn't tell her someday or two fate would, and it would only shock her so it is better to jear it from them instead.
Audrey faced his father as if telling him to proceed,
*******
"Twenty years ago the four Kingdoms of Ximpton, Dillonia, Crescent and Axran were united, each Kingdom possessing a gifted superpowers and abilities given by the Heaven so as to protect their people and the weak beings who are humans, Ximpton he'd fire, Dillonia can control both witchcraft and earth, Crescent can control wind and Axran controls water, but no good would last forever, there were fallen angels that committed a grave mistake, the heaven disowned them and punished them to live down to the earth, with us different beings. The lucifer had sent out his offlings to ruin the earth, every King that possessed power at that moment had to surrender thier power and loyalty to him or die. All the Kingdom's denied except for me" he paused his face contured with regrets, Audrey couldn't believe that his father surrendered to the evils. "Yes .... I was a coward, I never wanted to put my people in danger and so I surrendered my power to Lucifer Akeinan, What he wasn't aware off was that I also left some power for my own use." he paused , Audrey let out a deep breath "So what does that have to do with me marrying Levyndrion?" although the story was intriguing and it was her first time hearing it still she couldn't see the point of it. "Lucifer wasn't aware at first that Ximpton Kingdom was the chosen one, out of the four Kingdoms the heir of Ximpton was chosen to have more power than any three of us, he is supposed to protect everyone else. When Lucifer found out about it he went to kill the Levyndrion but somehow he couldn't and ended up getting banished from the earth as well, rumours has it that Lucifer Akeinan would come back someday to finish and ruin everything that he had started" he looked at his daughter's face ... she was still confused, Audrey never heard if this before .
"In order to to stop Lucifer who possess unimaginable power, our Kingdoms have to be connected, united, Crescent and Axran had already united thier Kingdoms a year ago through marriage too, they could see the fruits of their union for being together their powers were getting back and now it's ....." he couldn't finish his words and Audrey cut him off "Ximpton and Dillonia's turn" she sighed.
"Yes dear, so please understand why we're doing this" exclaimed Queen Ella with teary eyes.
"It's up to you to decide now" King Jeremy muttered.
It's up to me? Now it's up to no one! it's not like they have left me with any choice! Fudge Lucifer Akeinan or whatever! she cursed within her.
"If it's for the peace of everyone the I am willing to trade my heart, I will do it mama and papa but for Dillonia" she said although she was aware of what she was going to face there at Ximpton, if it is for peace she was okay giving it a chance, she will somehow deal with her feelings.
"Really? Oh thank you so much my warrior Princess!" exclaimed King Jeremy getting up from his seat and went to hug his daughter tightly, shortly her mother joined them in their group hug sobbing. "Thank you so much dear" she gave them a smile to calm their excitements.
"Now ..now you gonna get prepared Levyndrion will be here in no time" said Queen Ella pulling away from the hug "And who is going to guard his Kingdom?" she questioned with worry, well she heard about the bandits at the borders.
King Jeremy smiled "He will" the two women couldn't understand his riddles, if he was going to come here then how could he also be there to guard the Kingdom? Audrey got up leaving her mother to solve the puzzle "I should get going" she looked at her pocket watch and there was no time, she paid her respect and left.
"I'm glad that you told her about it even if it isn't complete at least now she won't be hating us " she held her husband's hands with hers "Yes, and one day..... time would tell the rest to the two of them, they can't deny their fate, they are bound to be together" said King Jeremy letting out a breath of relief and hugged his wife. They haven't told Audrey the whole story yet and what the two of them are about to face together, but then it would be easier if they are together, so they could sort out things together. Their power would only awaken to it's full potential if they are united and that is not just by marriage but love, it was now somewhat impossible because Levyndrion's heart belongs to another woman but then they believe Audrey would be able to win him over and take her rightful place, which is beside Levyndrion. When the right time comes .... everything would naturally fall to its place, they believe love could happen between them someday, once they get to know each other but for now.... they must get married as soon as possible.
