Ara's POV
" Wow.....you are looking so beautiful Hanuel-ah ....the outfit really suits you , Her Majesty made this outfit just for you , Its made by the finest gold threads and red silk . You liked it Princess ?" Yoona smiled while putting lip tint on my lips , I smiled and gazed at my reflection . The dress wasn't something I have ever expected to put on my wedding day .
Instead of white gown , It was a beautiful red hanbok . The design was really different from any gowns I have ever saw , It was heavy and expensive . I took a deep breathe and stared at my arm . It was itching and was kinda bluish in color . I thought it was a hickey but now It was a bit painful .
Outfit :
Hairstyle :
" Princess , What's wrong ?" Yoona eyed me while placing hair pins in my hair . I sighed and lifted my sleeve to show her my bruise . To my surprise , the bruise was now .....a tattoo ?? " Woahhh ....this....THIS IS THE BONDAGE TATTOO !!! " She smiled and pulled me into a tight hug .
" Wait , wait , wait .....what's a bondage tattoo ? I mean....how come it appeared of its own ? And It was so painful a while ago and....and now..It's nothing ? What does this even symbolize ?" I asked staring at the tattoo . Yoona unnie smiled and kneeled infront of me .
" I don't really know what those tattoos mean , only the royal oracle can say ....but the thing I know is ? When the couples bond , a tattoo forms and the more the tattoo is colorful , the more is the bond , looks like you really love Prince Jeon heh ?" She smirked while examining my tattoo . I sighed and looked out of the window , humming in response .
There's a lot of difference in...
Already loving and trying to love .
" Yoona-ssi ? Is my sister ready ? The priest and Prince Jeon is waiting in the royal court . Hana-ah ? Oh my god.....my sister is looking so beautiful ." Hoseok walked in , I would be lying if I say he wasn't looking attractive , even Yoona was staring at him . He caressed my cheek and smiled . " Our Princess is the most beautiful human , I have ever saw ...." I blushed and lowered my head . " Ahahahaha......come let's go hmm ?"
Time Skip
I smiled at Jimin , who was my guard of honour . I actually don't even know there's something like that but Yoona said that Guard of honor is someone who'll always protect the Bride from danger and stay behind her . I gripped on Oppa's hand as we started walking towards the court .
" Nervous ?" Jimin asked while whispering behind my ears , I smiled and nodded . He smiled back and patted my back gently . " The Asylvian Princess , that I know is the strongest and most brave woman in this Kingdom . She's never nervous .....and she's the most beautiful person ." He stopped walking and bowed . " Here we'll split I guess ."
I tilt my head confused . " Yes sister .....from here.....Zoba will lead you .....he's also ...your brother ." Hoseok smiled bitterly and let go of my hand . I tilt my head a bit confused...and sad . I turned at the door which opened revealing Zoba looking super handsome in his outfit . A bright smile crept on my lips as he flashed his gummy smile .
" Dongsaeng ? May I have the golden opportunity to walk you down the aisle ?" He stretched his hand out making me smile and accept it gladly . All the members of Royal family , neighboring Kingdoms and some higher status nobles were invited with the citizens of Asylvia . The aisle was longer than I expected while the Royal court was beautifully decorated making my eyes sparkle In joy .
Zoba hold my hand and we started walking , as we started getting closer , my heart beat more faster . I gripped on Zoba's hand but my smile was still the same that I reflected at the guests . " You know when you sneeze ? You look like a piglet ." Zoba stated with a straight face , delivering smiles at the guests .
" What the.....Yahhh why you stare at me when I sneeze ? You really wanna get beaten Zoba ? Aren't you ?" I whisper yelled making him chuckle and shake his head .
" No Princess , please spare your brother .....he's too fragile and he's still too handsome to die ." He turned to me with his cute gummy smile almost skipping my heart beat . Omo he's so cute when he's not scary . I mean .....he's always scary and sober tho . It's rare to find some cuteness on his cold face .
" Awww thanks Zoba-ah , I won't hit you . I'll treasure you ." I smiled and glanced at the people hailing for us . Hoseok already standing at the front , I can say he used his teleportation power to reach there while Jimin was still behind us .
" Ahem.....It's not Zoba.....It's Yoongi......Min Yoongi ." He smirked releasing my hand from his grip and tilt his head cutely pointing at someone behind me .
" Not just Yoongi....It's Yoongi Oppa ." The familiar voice echoed behind me making me turn and hug the person tightly . " Hahaha , look .....she's going to marry within a few minutes and still she's clinging to me haha." He patted my back making me sob more on his chest .
" Your Majesty ? What if she's going to marry ? Our Hana-ah will always be our small baby who used to hug you everyday and cry complaining how her friends are annoying her . She'll always be the same Hana-ah ." The soothing voice calmed my sobs , making me smile and nod .
" Appa....Eomma .....Saranghae ." I whispered , Dad placed a peck on my forehead while mom patted my back softly .
" Let's go , don't make my son-in-law wait any longer ." He smiled and eyed at the tall figure standing at the stage with Jin and Namjoon who were I guess guards of honor for Jungkook . But what we heard from far was Jin's wheezing laugh that made Jimin giggle a bit . I turned and smiled at Z-....Yoongi before walking with Mom and Dad .
My heart started beating faster as I reached nearer . Slowly Mom and Dad let go of my hands , I soon realized that I was standing infront of Jungkook , he smiled and stretched his hand out . I blushed and placed my hand on his , he softly gripped it and helped me up . We bowed to the priest , then to the guests .
" Your Highness , Her Highness ....Kneel to the Asylvian God ." We nodded at the priest and kneeled , " First bow to the Heaven and the Earth ." We did as he said . " Second bow to high altar !! " We did the procedure , " Newly married couple bow to each other and promise the sacred bondage tattoo that no matter what , you'll stay loyal , honest and loving to each other . Respect , Understanding and Helping eachother . From now on he's your better half , she's your better half . Promise to stay beside each other and rule each other's heart ."
" We Promise ."
We bowed to each other , making our tattoos glow though our red outfits . Jungkook smiled and glanced at me making me lower my head more .
" The ceremony is done . Bless the newly married couple with all happiness , long life , eternal love and power . Bless you." The priest patted our head and sprinkled holy water whispering some sacred spells and tied our fingers with a red sacred thread . " Bow again ". We nodded and bowed before getting up .
Everyone clapped and hailed for our happily married life . Jimin smiled painfully while his fingers were balled into fist as looked away . I sighed and gazed at him as he walked out while his silver hair slowly disappeared from my sight .
" Where are you staring ?" I got startled by Jin talking beside me . I turned and shook my head making him smile . " Let's get you ready for the coronation ceremony , It's after an hour , the royal oracle said it's an auspicious time for coronation ."
" Besides you guys must be tired , Hyung prepared a room for you guys to take rest before the other ceremony ." I glanced at Namjoon who smiled and bowed to me directing me to follow him . Jungkook nodded making us four walk upstairs , leaving the guests behind .
" Wow.....this is really a new building that King Jung asked to make for us ?" Jungkook asked Namjoon , he smiled shaking his head as NO .
" Nah.....this is the place where you guys will take rest , this is made for that purpose , you guys will stay here until the Hyacinth palace gets build and managed properly . Till that Prince Jeon and his wife will stay in Crimson palace ." Namjoon smirked making me almost choke on my saliva .
" Why everything is so red-red ?" I asked Jin while eyeing the decorations . He smiled and eyed the place before gazing at me .
" Red is really a meaningful color , It means sacred , auspicious , love , happiness ..."
" And Danger." I eyed him grumpily making him gasp and bump on my head playfully , laughing . " Yahhh ouch -"
" Pabo-ah......don't think that stuffs on such a beautiful day , think about something better ." He shook his head in disbelief before opening the room for us . My eyes widen seeing how beautifully it was decorated . Jungkook walked ahead while I followed him . " Take rest for a while , servants will come to dress you guys later ." Jin said handing me the keys .
" We'll leave now , there's a lot that we need to check.....and guys.....don't be loud..." He smirked and winked making Jungkook cough while I was stiffed , smiling awkwardly beside him . " Hahaha just kidding ....hahaha ." They walked away leaving us alone in the whole house .
I sat on the bed , tired of the wedding ceremony , while Jungkook plopped beside me with a cute smile making me giggle . He's hand slowly reached out and grabbed mine . I blinked confused of his action ." Jungkook what are - "
" I love you ."
My heart skipped a beat , I bite my lower lips looking away , hesitating to look at his doe eyes . He chuckled and kissed my hand . I turned and gazed at him as he slowly whispered . " You don't have to worry.....I'll wait....I'll wait until the day you'll say....you love me ."
" Jung- " Before I could complete my sentence , he placed his soft lips on mine .
