Lightless

Life, what would it have been without light? A light less life? Days of darkness? Creeping up in dark with unknown creature, I've gotten used to this. Yet, this is worse that being a prisoner in Hell. This is life I never expected, like a roller coaster, you have been riding it forever and wanting it to stop. Ups and down are the trivial part of the ride.

"Bring out the bride," The lady called out from the room.

"You are ready to go?" I have no word to speak so I nod.

Force to marry a friend, falling in love with the enemy. This is what  I could say worse than Hell. I agreed to it. Being the Nation's Princess, being proposed in front of the citizen, being watched by love, what choice do I have to refuse it?

"You ready to take the hall?" Trinity, the girl who mask her feelings and expression perfectly. I wish I know how to do that. Walking in front of millionths, facing the new groom I'm going to be handed to, when am I going to put a stop for it? Or will I just go with the flow? This is it? No, not a question mark but a full stop.

"We could run away,"
"I can protect you from them,"
"All you have to do is let me bring you,"

The words he said. Should I have taken up his offer? This is crazy. Stop thinking about it anymore.

Walk.

"My offer is still open," I heard his voice.

"Ryan?"

He came out of the long curtain when I was walking out for some air.

"What are you doing here?" Blood rush through my face. Even how glad I was to see him but he is in great danger if he is seen by even a single eye from our province.

"I told you my offer is still available,"

"How did you manage get in?" I am scared for him and he looks calm and cool.

This is the Ryan I felt in love. The arrogant, sarcastic, egoistic Ryan who had a past too.

"I'm Ryan,"

"Oh," I rolled my eyes but I did not dare to take a step close to him afraid I will take his offer.

Everything I was planning and planned will turn upside down. No this should not ruin it.

"Go away! You are not safe here!" I walk backward and close the glass door behind. I still saw him standing there and never moved.

"My lady? Its time," The servant came up.

"Yes,"

"I now pronounce you Man and Wife,"

Christian gave me a small peck to satisfy the audience. He too knows I am not happy in this marriage. Well what can you say when both of us have no mutual feeling but was force by our known parents.

I still feel an eyes lingering around eyeing me from far away.

"Your Majesty!!!!" A safeguard came running towards the hall, "We found the culprit!"

"What's happening?!" I was panicking and all my thought went to Ryan.

"Somebody must have sneaked in to our wedding," Christian told me so only I could listen.

Then I saw The Majesty commanding the guard to bring him in.

After a few minutes, the volume of the audience increases, there he came all beaten up and being pulled by two safeguard.

Ryan! My heart was beating a mile per second.

I saw Christian's body language changed when he saw him coming.

"How dare you!!" The Majesty's voice was heard.

No, no, no! This is not happening!

I have no right to voice out is it?!

What can I do when someone higher than me has the right too.

"Bring him to the dungeon. I'll take care of him after that,"

"NO!!" Shoot, did was that my voice?

I saw a thin smile on through his lip.

I ran down the aisle towards the commotion area.

"Don't do this Your Majesty. He is one of our tracker from the other Province. Maybe we can use him to bring out the truth and plan they are making,"

"That's why we are keeping him,"

"We should give him more luxurious treatment for this kind of issues don't you think?"

"I agree with her," Christian buck me up. I looked at him all the sudden. Is he in his right mind? Or is he helping me in something?

I saw Ryan's face smirked. Is he planning something and I'm falling into his trap? He can fight, he is stronger than all those weakling safeguard but he got caught. Why? And How? What trouble is he taking up now?
