I had not seen Azai for 3 weeks, specifically since our last meeting. According to the tradition of this country, the couple cannot see each other or have relations during the two weeks prior to the wedding, but because of our jobs, I as ambassador and future king consort and Azai as king, we could not see each other.
Just one day before the wedding my stomach was in a chaos of butterflies and my servants came and went with beauty products of all kinds, hundreds of different shades of lipsticks accumulated in my room along with their matching blushes, hundreds also arrived of combs of all possible styles, some in gold, others in silver, some with floral designs, others with butterflies. The stress was on the bondage almost as much as it did on me.
/ Your majesty try this veil, it is made in Zigneir / The maid gave me a beautiful white veil exquisitely embroidered.
-I appreciate everything you are bringing me, but it is excessive- I replied causing all the servants to stop short and look at me strangely.
/ It is not too much, it is a historical wedding that will unite Vaen with the continent, in addition the culture of Vaen culture being so frowned upon among some sectors of the population will make the celebration be seen by hundreds of spies from neighboring countries / The soft voice of Aica sounded melodious in the deathly silence of the room, sweet as cake, but with worried.
-You are right, but so many things is a waste of money- I replied
/ On the contrary, the slightest fault or cultural offense could be taken as an excuse / The tender and innocent Aica that he had bought long ago had become an ambassador.
-You have grown a lot as a person Aica, I'm proud of you- I said stroking her head just like my mother did with me
/ Thank you Shilé / The tender albino omega said shyly
/ But there is no time to lose, you still have make-up tests to see which lipstick shade suits you best with the dress, you have to exercise, take a bath with cow's milk and another with rose water and willow, then you have to drink a diuretic tea and a light dinner to deflate the stomach, although it seems that the latter is not necessary / The long list listed had me exhausted even before I started, but it was necessary to do it.
After more than 12 hours of cosmetic tests, baths, exercise and a light wood-flavored dinner, the night finally arrived, my last night as Prince of Vaen.
The first rays of sunlight woke me up, thanks to a last sedative effect tea I was able to sleep well and be ready for this great day. A group of 4 servants and Aica, entered the room
/ Ready for this big day? / Said Aica with a smile
-Yes- I answered with another smile
The servants went to work immediately, they gave me another rose and willow bath, they gave me the radiant silk Seletimeburo and they made me up, but not before a little discussion about whether it was the shade 363 or 295 of lipstick that had been decided the day before.
Finally, I got a full updo, something rare in my culture, as it shows more of the neck.
They finished the updo with a flower comb attached to a beautiful veil.
/ It's about time / Aica said approaching me.
We walked to the entrance of the castle where a beautiful carriage drawn by white horses was waiting for me, I got on it and we crossed the city on the way to the great temple of the family god.
The carriage stopped in front of the doors of that great and imposing stone building and the coachman kindly opened the door for me. Aica and I got out and walked to the entrance where two armed guards opened the door for us, behind me a large mass of people began to crowd to see the future kings leave, some eager for change, others wanting to avoid it at all costs .
A corridor made up of rows of benches filled with nobles led directly to a large pool of water where Azai was submerged just below the hip, behind him, on a small peninsula in the middle of the pool. man with a big book.
I walked slowly to the edge of the large pile and leaning on the hand that Azai had extended to help me down the steps until I reached the bottom of the large pile. The water had Flowers floating giving it a soft and sweet smell. Azai and I looked into each other's eyes and smiled before the man began to speak.
/ We are here to witness the union between Shilé de Vaen and Aj Aza to Yi de Kanor / The man said
-Aj Aza to Yi? - I said in a low voice to Azai
^ It is my full name, in this country and in Ainer we usually have compound names and then compress them into a single name ^ Azai replied, every day I learned more about this country.
/ In this palace of the gods may the eternal union be consummated / This was the moment of the brand that we decided to change, Azai reached into his pocket and took out a precious ring with a blue sapphire like the sea in the center and delicately He placed it on my finger thus sealing our engagement.
We left the large dripping fountain and left the great temple only to find a huge mass of people waiting expectantly for the gift of the new king consort, it is tradition that here the king consort when getting married makes a gift to the people, such as coins, food or something similar, but this time it would be an even greater gift.
-Dear people- I said loud and clear, normally it is the alpha who decides what to give and the one who announces it on behalf of the omega, but that was going to change with me
-Today I have more than one gift for you, these gifts that I will give you are not something temporary like money or food, they are something that will transcend, your children and your grandchildren will enjoy it. The gifts that I offer you today is the first of many, my dear people, the first gift is the abolition of slavery- Whistles and applause were heard from a large part of those present while others looked at me with hatred.
-We all have the right to freedom and justice.But what justice is there in treating someone different for something they were born with? - People fell silent trying to assimilate what was about to happen
-I, the king consort Shilé of Kanor give you my second gift, the equality between genders and subgenders- The omegas of the crowd, as well as the beta women and some alphas exploded with joy.
-And my last gift for my new town is free and compulsory education- The applause and cheers continued
/ Long live the royal family! / / Long live the king consort! / The cries of support did not take long to appear making me feel loved and accepted by my new people, I was wrong from the beginning, although it seemed to me a country full of horrible people just I was seeing a small part, almost all those people craved the change and I had managed to give it to them.
After the announcement we got on the carriage together, still soaked, and set off for the castle.
^ I'm proud of you Shilé ^
-No, I am proud, you made the laws that will be applied in my name, you are a good alpha Azai-
^ I have a present for you ^ Azai said when the carriage stopped
-And what a surprise? - I replied looking into his beautiful eyes. Azai smiled and drew the curtain that covered the window of the carriage showing me the port
^ Our things are already inside, we are going to Vaen ^ He said with a smile.
Joy flooded me, after more than 1 year away from home I would see my family again
-But ... Who will rule? Who will enforce the laws? -
^ I have left a council of faithful people, they will take care of everything ^ Azai's words calmed me, allowing me to leave my worries behind.
We boarded the big sailing ship and set off for Est Nagatch
