'To the best of his ability!?' I widened my eyes to the point where they felt like they would fall out of my sockets and my train of thoughts derailed to leave no survivors.

I looked at his mirthful face like he was the Devil incarnate and realized, I'm at a place in life where peace was my first priority. So, I had to deliberately avoid certain people, like my supposed fake husband to protect my mental, emotional and spiritual state.

'Our Father, who art in Heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom comes; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven as long as I'm granted the patience to brave through this shit storm of ridiculousness; for I'm afraid if my patience runs thin I will end up bitch-slapping some perverts so hard that even Google won't be able to find them. Amen.'

I kept chanting my self-conceived prayer of endurance because I feared if I did not, I would end up saying and doing things which could arbitrarily end my life in a jiffy.

"You sure ignoring and pretending to have not heard my words is the right way to go?" I heard his low mutter and a cold chill ran down my spine.

"How dare I Your Majesty?" I swallowed hard as I whispered back, to which he only chuckled.

"Or are you trying to avoid what's to come tonight?" He muttered in an ambiguous tone and I visibly turned a deeper shade of scarlet at his obvious indication.

'This asshole deserves a handjob from Edward Scissorhands.' I grumbled inside my head but kept a straight face on the outside.

He sensed my obvious silence and knew I wasn't going to respond to his lecherous suggestions and let slip a slight laughter to demonstration his amusement.

I felt like knocking his head off with the nearest earthen vase but held back my murderous intents and acted as if he was air.

After blessing the God forbidden bed for, I don't know how long, the high priest headed towards us and bowed his head once saying, "Your Majesties." To which Reuben slightly nodded his head, and the priest continued, "The Royal bed of Fertility has been blessed with a fecundity prayer of our holy Goddess Alzyreil. Hoping and praying for a harmonious union of Your Royal Highnesses, and to bare the fruitfulness of this union as soon as possible; I, grand high priest Lombart Dorialus appeal thy Goddess to besiege this Royal couple with eternal blessings." The high priest recited in his wabbly chafing voice.

Reuben held my hand and bowed a little towards the high priest and indirectly urged me to follow suit, to which I did. Then he looked towards the grappling crowd at the door and gave them a little bow and at last he walked me towards the balcony of the splendid room and there, under the thousand spirited eyes of the general public beneath the castle, we bowed once to them.

Then he spoke in a very clear and crisp voice, "Hear, my beloved subjects. My deepest gratitude to you for attending my wedding. I am deeply moved and thankful for all your blessings. And now, I present to you, my first Consort and the first Queen of Reveldron, Queen Elizabeth Rosalinda Ronales the Regalious. Rejoice!"

His voice had a majestic sensation to it which stirred up the public quiet well, and the very next minute there were loud cheers and hollers wishing well wishes and felicitations towards us in hoards.

I was taken aback by such an astounding salutation from the citizens of Reveldron and felt really out of place for the very first time. Before I came here, I was just a normal everyday teenage student who didn't know much other than being sarcastic and ditsy. Hell, I don't think I even did anything productive for the society other than bullying the bullies in school. And now, even though fake, I had to literally shoulder the responsibilities of a Queen of an entire country. Imagine the irony. Looking at the happy and expectant faces of the people cheering for me suddenly got me cold feet. I was just an ordinary person trying to survive, how the hell did I end up in a situation such as this?

I felt a cold sweat run down my back and gulped hard, the gravity of the situation finally sinking in.

What the hell was I to do from now on!!!
