What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

As the moment approached my heart started aching with excitement.

Inspite of the words of warning that Lucian had blown in my brain, a little spark kept igniting every now and then.

” You look like the most perfect bride that the universe has ever witnessed. ”

The maids chirped behind me. But their words of praise were the least of my interests.

My body hugged the beautiful translucent gown, woven from the rarest Dragon silk. It was now perfectly hugging my inches. Defining my curves at the right places.

” Time to put on your headgear My Lady! ”

my oldest maid in waiting came forward and put my wedding veil with my crown over me.

My heart skipped a beat seeing myself in that new light. The crown over my head was identical to the one Draco wore. The only difference was their size. This instantly laid his claim over me. Though we still had not taken our vows, my soul screamed that it was already his.

” Time to go. Are we ready? ”

My father’s voice almost startled me.

” Yes father. ”

I smiled. He smiled back then extended his hand for me to take. I grabbed it like I used to when I was little.

Over the years, somewhere, this practice was completely forgotten by either of us. I could see my father’s eyes tearing. But he looked away.

We walked towards the alter. My breathings slowly becoming more and more audible.

Finally we were in front of the Dragon Sail. The mighty Wedding Boat that Draco had prepared.

I saw him coming towards us from the opposite direction.

I swear I felt I was going to collapse. His handsome face looked even more radiant.

” May I? ”

he asked my father for his permission.

” Take good care of my treasure, ” my father said, before he gave my hand over to him.

He smiled with a nod. Grabbed my fingers with his. The next moment, we were on our Wedding Boat.

The crowd went berserk as they saw us appear. I smiled and bowed as Draco ignored them. Then he lead me forwards towards our wedding alter.

Draco picked the Golden Cup that was there. It was carved by the Ancient Souls. A symbol of eternal bond.

He pulled his golden Wedding dager, cut his palm and poured a few drops in that cup. He handed me the dagger. It was my turn. I followed suit and added my blood to the cup as it fumed with the essence of our eternal bond.

The crowd cheered louder.

” Here, ” Draco offered the cup to me first. It made me a little hesitant. It usually was the groom’s turn first to drink from the cup, but Draco was never one who adhered to strict customs.

I drank without any question then handed it back. He placed his lips on the exact same spot I had drank from. My heart leaped out of my breast at the sight.

He winked. He made sure I saw the while thing.

Our wedding was now officially complete.

Draco kneeled suddenly down. I took a few steps back. The crowd went from cheers to straight murmurs.

” Draco, what are you doing? ”

I asked him in hushed voice.

He didn’t answer me. Instead I saw him pluck a Dragon Scale out from his chest.

The entire place went silent.

” Draco… ”

I gasped. It was the most painful thing for a Dragon to do to himself. Taking one’s scale out. That too from the breast.

” It is customary for grooms to present their brides with a precious gift. I could not think of anything more precious than the King’s vulnerability to you, My Queen.”

I wasn’t crying. It was joy that was dripping out of my overwhelmed eyes.

I grabbed him as he came forward to kiss me. I pulled him close and almost bit his lips in public.

He wrapped me gently in his arms. Then slowly pulled me away with a peck on my forehead and cheeks.

” My Lord, shall we set sail towards the Harem? ”

The boat man finally appeared. He went to take the helm after Draco gave him the affirmative signal.

The boat sailed slowly towards it’s destination, floating over the crowd.

Draco had his hand around me. I was holding his dress with my fingers.

I could see the Harem from a distance. I blinked to check if I was seeing clear.

” Are those flowers? ”

I asked. Draco never liked or had anything floral anywhere near himself.

” Yes. A small garden, attached to your room. I thought you might fine that, since you have always been around nature. ”

He didn’t even smile. He just said it in a matter of fact. Everybody thought he was insensitive and feeling less. Nobody knew what these small gestures meant for me or others.

” I love it. ” I said.

” I have put Spirit Charmers at the entrance. It might take you a little while to get used to it but it will be of use in the future. ”

“Spirit Charmers? The bells that identifies souls? ”

I asked curious. Though I had heard about them, I had never actually seen one.

” Yes. But most importantly it helps keep away evil. Since you have become my wife, it’s my duty to keep you safe. And for the same reason, that you are now my wife, your life might get jeopardized.

You see Kiara, I have way more enemies than friends. ”

He smirked.

That idiot. Was that even a thing to be proud of.

” I hope that equation changes for you in the future. ”

he laughed.

I rolled my eyes. That was a wish, a desire. What was so funny about that statement.

” Go ahead Kiara. Get some rest. I will have to head to the frontline. I only stayed for the Wedding rituals. ”

he helped me out as soon as the boat docked beside the hanging garden.

I took his hand and went down. Puzzled.

I didn’t know how I should have reacted.

My husband was leaving me alone on our wedding night.

A lump formed at my throat but I didn’t know how I was to gulp it.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
