"Dylan! Wake up!" Lizha shook Dylan's body.
"What?" Dylan snuggled deeper into the blankets."Wake up! You have to try on the wedding dress!""What?" Dylan asked in whispers."Get up! Today there will be no mass or distribution of food to the homeless. The wedding is already tomorrow boy...""What the hell... Maybe if I had revealed my real identity I wouldn't be suffering like this...""That's right... In the eyes of the people of the kingdom, you're a woman... So get up!" Lizha pulled back the blanket."Lizha... Come on... Yesterday was complicated... I had to receive ten entourages alongside my father... I'm exhausted...""Dylan... Seriously... The Empress is already waiting for you..."Dylan ran a hand over his face.He squeaked."What the hell…" Dylan hit across the bed.Lizha left and walked towards a table where it had a basin of water.Dylan got up and sat down."I hope this damn wedding pass soon... I can't take it anymore..."Dylan was in front of the mirror and he was holding a bouquet of pink flowers.He wore his wedding dress and a pair of lace gloves.The dress was really white and pretty, long-sleeved and long down to the floor.His hair was loose and draped over his shoulders."So... I'm getting married like this... As a woman..." he stared at his reflection."Don't think about it now... Today is a happy day for the kingdom..." Lizha said, getting close yo him, bringing the veil in her hands."Except for me...""Sit down!"Dylan sat up and Lizha placed the veil over his head.She looked at Dylan for a few seconds and finally pulled the veil down, covering his face.Suddenly the door was opened and the empress entered."Still..." Mortitia saw Dylan in the mirror, "you're ready..." She took a step inside, seeing Dylan up close.Dylan was still calmly looking at Morticia by the mirror."I'll move on... Your father is already in the carriage waiting for you...""Yes…" Dylan confirmed.Morticia left and cl
Arthur Montgomery, the King of Greavaria rose.And then Daniel Seanford, the Emperor of Promor, did the same."It is time for the bride and groom to leave! Let us pray that the union of our children will be a proof of loyalty between the Greavaria Kingdom and the Promor Empire!" announced Arthur.Everyone clapped their hands.Then Archie and Dylan rose and bowed their heads."Your blessing," both said simultaneously.Arthur and Daniel placed their hands on their children's heads."God bless you!" said the parents simultaneously.The bride and groom lifted their heads and each exchanged kisses with their in-laws.Then they both took hands and started walking towards the exit of the great hall.As they walked on the red carpet, guests clapped their hands and shouted a few phrases of celebration.Both walked gracefully and waved to the guests, with a smile on their faces.Finally they left the great hall and continued walking hand in hand towar
Dylan woke up and looked around.Ahm... I'm in the tavern, he thought, rubbing a hand over his face.He turned to the opposite side and was startled seeing Archie, his husband was still sleeping peacefully beside him.Dylan stared at him.Is that a hickey? Dylan wondered, seeing a hickey on Archie's neck.He squeaked"Men…" he muttered, getting up from the bed.We haven't even been married a day and he's already gone to bed with another woman, Dylan thought indignantly.Dylan looked around and felt frustrated that he didn't have a change of clothes.He went to the door, opened it and took a peek.There were the two knights on guard."One of you... please call the tavern lady...""Yes your highness!" said one of the knights.Dylan went back inside and closed the door.He went to the foot of the window and opened the curtains, including the windows themselves.He just stood there looking out the windows.Suddenly the door was knock
Dylan and Lizha looked at each other simultaneously.Archie took a step out of the doorway."So? Can any of you tell me what secret you've been keeping from me and from the empire?" he asked seriously.Dylan swallowed hard."Lizha, can you leave me alone with his highness?""Yes your highness Dylan... Excuse me..." she bowed and quickly started walking towards the door.Lizha gave Archie a curtsy and quickly left.The door was closed.Archie crossed his arms, "So… I'm all ears?" he glared at Dylan.Dylan swallowed hard again and stood up."Well…" Dylan paused for a long time.What am I going to tell him? It has to be something convincing..., he thought.“Dylan…” Archie stared at him, “you like women? Isn't that right? I see the way you look at Lizha."Dylan stared at him not knowing how to respond.Not that he wasn't wrong, but imagine what he would do
Archie laid Dylan down on the bed."What happened to her highness?"Archie moved away from the bed, still looking at Dylan."I don't know... she complained of dizziness and I told her to get back and take a rest... right when she got up she passed out.""Hmmm..."This has never happened before, Lizha thought.She walked over to Dylan and touched his forehead.God! He's burning in fever, Lizha thought, still clutching Dylan's forehead.Archie frowned, "What is it?" he asked, seeing Lizha's facial expression.Lizha had gone pale. She got away from Dylan and forced a smile."Nothing... Her highness has had a relapse like this before... In an hour she'll be fine," Lizha lied, hoping that Archie could let Dylan take rest so that Dylan's true identity wouldn't be discovery.Archie frowned.She lied! thought Archie with conviction.She says Dylan has had this relapse before, but when I brought the princess in she was surprised... She's lying... but why? Does this have something to do with fac
Someone knocked Dylan's bedchamber's door."I m coming!"Lizha got up and walked towards the door.She opened the door, "Yes…" she said casually, "Bentley…"Dylan turned and looked at the door."Bentley..."Lizha turned and looked at Dylan."Your Highness. Your Imperial Highness's escort says he has a message..."Dylan frowned and then nodded.Lizha opened the door a little wider so Bentley could leave the message directly to Dylan.Bentley bowed, "Good evening, Your Highness! I have a message from Your Imperial Highness...""I'm all ears..."Bentley lifted his head."His Imperial Highness has sent me to inform that he is waiting for you in his solar..."Dylan's eyes widened.He's waiting for me… Dylan thought, totally confused."Your Highness..." Lizha caught his eye."Huh! Yes... I'll be right there..." Dylan said, already standing up."Thank you! I'll get deliver the answer..."Bentley bowed and then left.Lizha stood th
Dylan was sitting at the foot of the mirror combing his hair, unlike other days, that night Lizha was not serving him, as the empress borrowed her friend's services that night.Dylan was completely upset."Since when is there an escort loan?" he asked, all stumbling.Suddenly the door was knocked lightly.Dylan peeked back at the door."Has anyone just knocked the door?" he asked, still looking at the door, "it must have been my impression..." he went back to combing his hair again.Again the door was knocked."So someone was really slamming the door... Who could it be at this hour? Who is it?" he continued to comb his hair.There was no response and the person continued to knock the door intensely."But what is this?" Dylan took a peek to look at the door, "I m coming..." Dylan set the comb down on the table almost tossing it.He got up and walked towards the door."I said, I m coming..." he said impatiently when he heard that the door knocks
Lizha entered Dylan's room."Dylan... Wake up..."Lizha started looking around."What is this smell?" Lizha quickly ran a hand over her nostrils."What a strong smell!"Lizha went to the windows and opened it."Dylan… wake up…" she said, still opening the windows."Mmmm… close those windows… I'm still not okay," Dylan muttered as he snuggled between the blankets."You can complain... but what about getting up?""Close the windows..."Lizha ignored him and went to the foot of his bed."You still can't get the time?" Lizha crossed her arms and glared at him.Dylan turned and pulled back the covers.Lizha looked around smelling the sweet scent that permeated Dylan's room."What is this smell that permeates this room?"Dylan continued to sleep.Lizha grimaced, still looking at him.She moved closer to his bed and pulled the blanket."Huh!" Lizha was amazed seeing Dylan naked, "Why the hell are you undressed?"Dylan pulled back the
