"I look fine don't I ?" He asked Neil .
"Yes Your Majesty! " He replied . The crowd let Azeelan walk through .
"Father " He gasped . A maid carried a soft padded cushion in which the crown was kept .
"I wish your mother had been alive to witness this occasion but ... Anyways I'll try with all I have to guide you my son ." Zen lowered his head as Azeelan placed the crown on his head . The crown was filled with diamonds , Red ruby polished crystals . It was beautiful .
"Thank you Father . "
"I wish for your happiness and nothing else. Let's get going the guests have arrived . "

Alisha was dressed in a purple gown . Long white crystal earings and a necklace around her neck . She had hair styled in a bun with dew hair on the sides let loose. Her eyes were bold with a point eyeliner and bright red lipstick . A bright purple bracelet with studded diamonds . A ring in her right hand . Ofcourse the left hand was empty waiting for the right person to fill the ring finger . She looked gorgeous . Alisha's family had arrived with presents and variety of food items from their land . Her sister and mother came to have a look into her room .
"Ma'am you family is here " Saira said one of the maids in charge of the cleanliness .
"Oh I see. " Alisha glimpsed and raised from her chair after looking herself in the mirror .
"Hey Mom Hey Rose !!! So nice to see you both "
"Good to see you too Alisha ." Alisha embraced her mother and sister .
"You look so pretty Alisha ! I can't believe you are finally getting engaged "
"Yeah Rose . It's kind of sudden for me as well. I'm really nervous "
"What's there to be nervous about ? You will be fine ! Come on let's leave everyone are waiting for you " Rose took her hand with a bright smile on her face and headed towards the main hall . Azeelan and the other family members took their seats . The religious heads began to welcome everyone and started their prayers . They called Alisha and Zen on stage for the ring ceremony . As Alisha and Zen proceed towards the main stage one could people gasping , open mouths and wide eyes . They couldn't help but admire the magnificent couple . They looked perfect . Zenia volunteered to take the rings upto them . Neil stood beside Zen watching Alisha approaching him. They stood facing each other with a little gap separating them . Alisha's heart throbs.
"I had never been to an engagement ceremony before this feels so unreal . I don't know what I'm feeling right now but it's true I'm going to marry him . Up until now I never paid much thought about being his wife or what a marriage would be like but from now on I'll belong only to him . I wanted to marry a prince but God gave me a king ! Am I the blessed soul ? I don't know if I deserve this much of happiness . I feel like I'm using a lifetime worth of happiness . He gets mad easily and also never smiles . He is very strict , stubborn and full of pride . He fails to recognize me and sometimes forgets that I exist . Also he can't handle relationships . Huh... Still He is the most handsome man I have ever seen and I'm going to marry him . Since he is smart and good looking , I think it's worth marrying him " Alisha thought .
