Published at 2nd of May 2019 10:18:30 AM Chapter 4

Zylvia slipped her hand into the crook of Kaldrek's arm as they stepped off of the dais . She was in a bit of a daze from suddenly being married even if she had had a little while to get used to the idea . She really had no idea how to act right now .

Fortunately before she could start fretting, her best friend came rushing over . The young queen pulled her into a tight hug, causing Kaldrek to hastily step back .

"Zylvia you look so beautiful! You make a very pretty bride . "

Advertisement"Thank you, Fayre . Its very nice of you to say so, but I am not that pretty . " Zylvia laughed as she hugged her friend back, thinking to herself that Fayre was the pretty one . She looked like a doll with her black hair and her pale skin . Even though black hair was common in the Kingdom, Fayre's was particularly glossy and beautiful .

"Nonsense, you're gorgeous . " Fayre affirmed stubbornly . "Anyone who doesn't think so is blind . Don't you agree, Kaldrek?" She glanced at him, with a small glare that stated that he had better agree .

Kaldrek looked back at the queen for a moment, and then glanced at Zylvia, then back . "Very pretty . " He agreed .

Zylvia let at a soft snort of laughter, "I think the Court Sorcerer is afraid to disagree with you, Fayre . " Both of the young women giggled at this . Kaldrek merely rolled his eyes at the two females .

Queen Fayre then took a look at Kaldrek and frowned, "Kaldrek did you even try to fix your bird's nest of a hair . I mean, really, it is your own wedding . "

Kaldrek let out a sigh and then spoke in an extremely somber voice, "I got it too stay for about ten seconds after struggling with it for two hours . It is beyond any power I might have to do anything with it . "

" . . . I see . " The queen said, "You could always just shave it off . At least then it would be manageable . "

"Not happening . " Kaldrek said flatly, "I am more or less used to it . "

"Don't make Kaldrek shave his head," Zylvia interjected, as a huge grin swept across her face . "If he did how could we tease him about how he always looks like a rat just made its home there . "

" . . . . Maybe I should trim it . " Kaldrek muttered under his breath, "At least then you guys would leave it alone . " He shook his head in exasperation .

"Do you really think that would work?" Fayre clucked her tongue at him . "So naive, Kaldrek . We would just find something else to tease you about . "

Zylvia smiled, her nerves felt a lot better now . Nothing much had actually changed, mainly just that she would be closer to her friends . Her eyes then went to the food that was set up . She hadn't eaten all day and was now feeling rather hungry . "Excuse me, I think I will go look for sustenance . "

As Zylvia moved to take her leave, Kaldrek offered her his arm again, "All right let's get you fed . " He glanced at the queen, "Do you want to join us?"

"Sure . " The queen smiled as they made their way towards the food .
