Nothing can ruin the perfect weather today. The sun rises up on the sky to lit up the whole country. The wind bluster to cool everyone around. A lot of birds are resting on the roof of the Castle and even chirping, seems like they're singing on the top of it.
The infantrymen, cavalrymen and Queen's guards are marching around, practicing on something big event.
The whole country is already in peace after a year. Everything went in settled when Lisa took her action as the Queen. Everyone went back to their work as if nothing happened.
Even though it's been a year since a lot of people died, The Royalties are still grieving whenever they're thinking of some what if's.
"Come on!" Bobby shouted when he open the car's door.
"Just wait! Chaeyoung is too slow to move!" Jimin complain "Chaeng! Look what time is it! We're gonna be late!" He shouted outside.
"I'm coming!!" She replied from inside the house, she run downstairs while carrying three paper bags in her hands. She bid her goodbye to their parents and run outside.
"Such a turtle" Jimin shakes his head and take the paper bag.
"I'm sorry~" Chaeng pouted.
"Oh Gosh stop with a sibling goals! Just hurry up!" Bambam interrupted who's beside Bobby too.
The two walk towards the car but Yoongi stop him who's on the other car.
"Here. You are not suitable there" He said.
A guard walk out of the car and open the door for the two. They seems so excited and happy today.
"I'm excited and nervous at the same time" Chaeng uttered "Where's Lady Jisoo?"
The car drove off so they will arrive on time.
"She's with the other Ladies. Don't worry you'll see her later" Yoongi assure her while looking outside the window.
Jimin slap his thigh forcefully "Yah! Hyung I don't want someone to get near her" Jimin disapprove.
"I'm not a kid anymore!" Chaeyoung cross her arms and just lean her back on the backrest.
Yoongi laugh and shakes his head "You better sleep because we have a long way to go before we arrive at the castle"
"Where are we going?" Jimin asked when he noticed that it's not the way to get in there.
"We still need to fetch Irene or else Seulgi will going to kill us" Yoongi chuckle.
Chaeng is looking outside the peaceful street of Seoul. She saw the park that they used to perform, she smile unconsciously and even getting teary on the thought of she's missing it. After some hardwork, Jennie, Irene and Rosé are already graduate in school.
---
Seulgi's P. O. V.
"You excited?" Jisoo asked me.
We are walking around the castle to have some refreshments. All I can say is, all of the people inside were busy that you can't talk to them that long.
"Who wouldn't be?" I laugh and sigh as I look around the Castle "I miss Taehyung" I said almost whispering.
We took our seat on the bench near us to take a rest. The guards who are passing by bow their heads to greet.
"I know he's happy. He's our angel now" She answer back.
I look at my watch and it's already 11AM. I hope the Lords and others are on their way so they can prepare themselves. Sunmi is in Lisa's room I think while the Princesses are inside their room getting prepare.
Anyway Jennie and Irene are already a Lawyer. They did passed the exam months ago, We're very much happy on their success and even we threw a simple surprise for them.
"So let's go now? I think we need to prepare ourselves" Jisoo speak.
We both stood up and ready to go when we heard a maid calling someone's name. Looks like she's chasing it.
"Prince Leo~" The maid called.
We stop from walking and look at the passage, The laughter is getting louder so I guess he's running towards us and I wasn't wrong, he did.
I block his way and grab him by his belly. He's only wearing his boxer shorts while running around the castle, I bet this kid is getting naughty again.
"Let me go Lady Seulgi" He laugh. The maid bow her head and said her sorry.
"It's okay. I'll bring him back to his room" Jisoo said and the maid left.
"You're naughty, did you know that?" I chuckle.
"No I'm not. I'm just playing" He answer back.
Leo got adopted by Lisa three months ago, the paper has been approved and guess what? He's already a Prince, Who wouldn't have thought that an orphan could be a King a decade from now. He's lucky, really lucky.
When Leo found out that he will be a Prince so soon.. He cried so much even Jennie, she did. He is really a big part of Jennie and Lisa's life.
"A Prince shouldn't run around with his boxer shorts" I evoke.
"Are you excited?" Jisoo asked him and he spin around.
"Yes I am way more excited because Mama and Mommy Jennie will get married tonight!!!!"
----
Jennie's P. O. V.
"Mom Do I look pretty?" I asked my Mom who's staring at me through the mirror.
"You are prettier than you think" She replied and fix my hair.
I've been prepared for almost two hours, wearing this hand made beautiful elegant gown and a rose chignon bun hairstyle with a gold accessories on it. I'm wearing a silver necklace with a diamond pendant, gave by the Empress.
I look at the bed and saw the flowers I will carry while walking down the platform. I really thought before that we're going to get married inside a church but this is their tradition on every wedding of Royalties.
Already a year have passed when everything happened, When the heaven took my Father from us, When Kai got execute, When the Emperor and Taehyung got killed. It saddens me that I never talk to the Emperor before but the Empress assure me that Lisa's Father already accepted it in heaven.
We actually lived outside the castle for a year until I've finished my Law schooling. I told Lisa that I don't want to live inside not until we're already married and she understood. We lived in the City again but there are some guards securing our house on the exchange of Lisa's accepting on my decision.
"Tss. Be thankful that I gave up Lisa just for you"
I look back and yes, it's Sunmi. We're not still in good terms.. I think? She's always raging whenever she's talking to me but I know she's a very great person.
"No. God gave Lisa to me" I retorted.
She rolled her eyes and move beside me, she's wearing an elegant gown too. I bet she's getting impatient already, Who wouldn't be? We're just waiting until 5:30pm yet it's already 5pm. We still have 30 minutes to wait.
"Get up and let me judge you" She ordered and pull me up.
I carefully move my feet, Gosh I don't know but I'm getting anxious. All of the Royalties are there and even some medias to report live our wedding through television.
"I hate you" She rolled her eyes and cross her arms.
"W-What? I know and I'm-"
"Because you are pretty and hot at the same time! Gosh Lisa!" She stamp her feet
Our eyes met and we both laugh.
"Congratulations! I know Lisa is lucky to have you and I hope you two will stay stronger than ever" She smile and pull me for a hug "Take care of her for me, okay?"
I nod my head and I begin to sob, she push me carefully and look at me in the eye, she's getting teary too.
"Don't cry! Did you know how hard it was to put a make up on you? Save it for later" She rub my back and stroke my hair.
She do nothing to me other than being good. How can I thank her if I know that the girl she loves the most will be get married in me? I'm thankful that she never seed a grudge towards me and never ruin our relationship.
"Unnie~" Someone called me when the door went open and yes it is Rosé with Irene behind her.
I quickly run to them and hug them really tight.
"Congratulations!" They said in Unison.
"Wow You look so beautiful. I know Lisa will drool later" Irene said while checking me out
I turn around to make them see my wedding gown and they all left gawking.
"I'm jealous!" Chaeng pouted.
"Don't worry, Jisoo will do her thing and Seulgi too" Sunmi said from behind.
"Have you seen Lisa?"
They all shook their heads.
"I want to see her" I pouted and look at the door.
----
Lisa's P. O. V.
"Do I look good?" I asked them, I'm also wearing a gown for formality of course. This is the very first in the history that with same sex in Royalties will get married.
"You look.. good" Seulgi said while looking at her nails.
I throw a pillow that hit her head, she hissed and throw it back.
"You look great Lisa so don't worry" Jimin told and smile at me.
"Look how pale you are. Stop making me laugh" Bambam purse his lip and restrain himself from laughing.
I look at the mirror and saw myself, yeah he's right I'm getting pale. My heart beats frantically because of anxiety, My Goodness. I never feel this way before. How can I focus on my vows later, Who would catch me when I loss my consciousness?
"Ser Jin Young will stand beside you, right? He will be the proxy to your Father" Jisoo asked me.
I nod my head and smile, I told Jin Young that he will be the replacement on my Father's place when I get married, he got teary because he told me that it's an honor. He acted like a my second Father so he deserves to be treated that way.
My Mom went inside my room with Joy and Minnie behind her, they're wearing an elegant gown too. They're all look so expensive with that gowns
"Unnie!!" They run to me and give me a tight hug "You're getting married!" Joy happily said.
"I'm not your baby anymore, You have Leo already!!" Minnie pouted and shove my hand away.
"Where's Leo?" I asked.
"He's playing with other kids, don't worry" My Mother assure me.
She walk in front of me and hold my both hands. She's getting teary.
"You are grown up woman now. I'm happy that you are happy, I'm happy that you follow what your heart said, just like what I'm always telling you. You are the bravest woman I know. I know that your Father is proud of you, Well ever since that he saw you crying on the doctor's arms. He heard how loud your cry was and that was the moment that he declared the you'll be a great leader and I can't protest because I think his belief just came true, We're proud. He may be a bad person in your eyes but he's the a great father" She speak.
My tears fall down unconsciously, Even everyone inside the room are crying. She caress my cheek and hug me, I rested my chin on her shoulder and close my eyes while crying.
"Thank you Mother. Thank you for everything" I cried.
She pull out from our hug and cup my cheeks "And I know Dara is smiling and cheering for you up there. She's with Taehyung now and I know they're crying because of happiness, Finally that your dreams came true. Their appearance may not be here but their presence are with you" She remind me.
I burst our crying when I heard their names. The one of the most important people in my life were not here.
"Taehyung should be here.. " I sobs.
The Lords made their way through me and give me a tight hug. They're sobbing too, I know crying is not in our dictionary but we can't help it. He should be celebrating with us too.
"Yah. Stop thinking about Taehyung, he will be sad if he hear us crying, Okay?" Yoongi said, his eyes are already swollen.
Jisoo and Seulgi hug me as well and rub my back to comfort me.
"You only have 5 minutes left so wipe your tears and woman up!" Bobby bump his shoulder to mine.
"And the next wedding will be Seulgi and Jisoo's" Bambam narrow his eyes and we all squeal to tease them.
Someone open the door, Jin Young and Leo showed up. He's wearing his Red tunic with golden chains on his chest just like what the Lords wear.
"Mama, Mommy is so pretty!" Leo reported.
"I know she'll be" I ruffled his hair and squeeze his cheeks.
"Let's go now? Everyone is looking for you" Jin Young said and lend his arm to me which I quickly accept it.
We walk out of the room, The Lords and Ladies made their way on the different direction. I peek on the balcony to check the people below and Gosh I feel a goosebumps, They're not that many and not that few.
I'm getting married.
After a decade of waiting for her, Now I'm here.
----
Heart Beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
Red carpet, Royalties sitting on each side of the Castle while waiting for the bride to come out, A sweet assylum that are hanging on the ceiling together with the golden chandeliers with a candle on it to lit up the place.
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
A pianist who are place on the gallery above the passage, Medias around the place to take a video for the beautiful moment of the Queen and everyone.
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
The guards are surrounding each corner of the castle while holding their swords. They're wearing their black Tunic for formality.
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Because the sun is about to say goodbye and the surroundings are tainted with an orange color because of the sunlight, they decided not to use any bulb to lit up the castle, instead they use small candles beside the red carpet where Jennie will going to walk.
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
Lisa who's waiting under the arch of sweet alyssum is getting teary already knowing that Jennie will be a Royalty soon and will build a family in no time.
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
"Don't cry" Jin Young whispered and laugh.
One step closer
Lisa elbowed him and wipe her tears. She look straight on the door, When forty guards run towards the carpet, it is the Moment that Jennie will show up.
"Let us hail to the Queen's partner, Raise your swords for a respect!" The highest rank of the guards commanded.
They made a way for Jennie, the swords are touching each tip. The massive wooden door, went open. The guards make a sound by bumping the tip of their swords into each other.
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
A girl who caught Lisa's heart, the girl who taught her how to be patient, the girl who was Lisa's enemy before, The girl that Lisa chase, The girl who broke Lisa's heart is walking the aisle, shedding in tears.
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Jennie walk slowly on the carpet while holding a bouquet of peony, Everyone gets mesmerized on the sight of the lady. She's smiling to Lisa but the Latter can't help but to burst out crying.
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
She walk under the swords and got shower with white petals by the kids in front of her. Jennie met her Mom in the middle of the runway, she wrap her arm to her and started to walk again.
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
While they are walking, Lisa mouthed to Jennie.. Saying: "You are beautiful"
Jennie shakes her head and just laugh.
Leo buried his face on Bambam's waist and started to cry silently, he's happy that finally the two will get married.
"Ssshh" Bambam console him.
Jennie reach the platform and Jin Young assist her through Lisa.
"You don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment to come" Lisa said to Jennie, her lips curl down. She took her deepest breath and shakes her head so the tears won't come that fast.
"The long wait is over" Jennie said with a shake in her voice.
"Take care of my Daughter, Lisa" Jennie's Mom said and kiss Lisa's cheeks.
"I will. I already promise it to you and to Jennie's Dad" She replied back.
The priest bow his head to everyone and lift his arm "Let us all get started"
---
"Oh God this is it.. Their vows!" Chaeyoung press her both palm and look at the two lovingly.
Jisoo bump Chaeyoung's shoulder and whispered "Our vows are better than them"
Chaeyoung's cheeks reddened and she slap Jisoo's arm. The two poke each others waist and trying to flirt when Sunmi intrude.
"Hey. Close your mouth because I want to hear Lisa's lies" She said with annoyed.
The two stop and just focus to the two.
Jennie take Lisa's hand and hold it, she look at Lisa's eyes and a chuckle escape from her mouth when she saw how Lisa pouted for a kiss.
"Hi My Queen.. It's really hard to believe that we get here, right? It still processing inside my head that we're getting married.. " Jennie stop and cry for a moment.
Everyone is wiping their tears as they watch the couple. Lisa squeeze her hand to soothe her.
"Imagine? The person I met accidentally is now my wife. When we first met, I never imagined this day would come, but now that we are here I couldn't have imagined choosing anyone else but you to go through life's journey with you. You made me mad, upset, happy and even excited every once in a while. You wipe my tears, you took away the fear deep inside me, you take care of me when no else does.. I can't thank anyone for bringing us here but I will thank God for giving you to me... "
Lisa is just look at Jennie lovingly, eating those words that Jennie throw to her.
"After all the roller coaster ride that we've been through, We're here. Standing in front of everyone who were our enemies before. I remember the day when you told me that you love me, that moment.. My heart beats frantically.. It's the very first word that means a lot to me. Until now, Everytime you will tell me how much you love, Nothing change how my heart beats towards you. I love you unconditionally and without hesitation, I, Jennie Kim vow to love you, trust you, give my whole to you and even get patient. I promise to build a strong family inside the Castle with so much laughter, joy and strong foundation from us. I will hold you and keep you until the very last breath that I will take. I will go wherever you want to be, I will support through good and hard times. I will always be your number one fan and your best friend. I marry you with no hesitation or doubt, and my commitment to you is absolute. I'm happy that finally I can call you mine" Jennie inserted the ring in Lisa's finger.
She sobs and Lisa quickly wipe her tears before she begin to speak.
All of the people are waiting for her, The Lords and Ladies are crying, they even cover their mouth not to sob so Lisa won't hear them.
"Stop crying" Liss softly said and stroke Jennie's arms.
She clear her throat and look at everyone before she look to Jennie. Her sweat is falling down her cheek, she can hear the loud pump of her heart. She's scared that she might say something wrong.
Lisa close her eyes first and shake Jennie's hand before she hold it tight.
"I really can't compose anything to say right now. I've filled by a lot of emotions that circulating around my body but still I'll try my best to have a beautiful vow as yours"
Everyone laugh in tears, Lisa kiss Jennie's hand first trying to make herself calm.
"A decade ago when I received a message from the children who were the same age as mine that time. Of course being a Princess was never easy, I've been locked up for my whole life and just waiting for the perfect to get the crown.. When I read those letters, Only the letter of this kid caught my heart. I read it a lot of times and that day I promised to myself to find her when I turn on my legal age... I betrayed my Father and was named as a rule breaker of the history.. " Lisa chuckle and stop for a moment, her voice crack when she said these words "When we bump accidentally, You were mad and even yelled at me because I didn't said sorry.. That's because I got mesmerized by your own beauty. I just didn't know if I saw you before or I'm just hallucinating.. I never thought that you were the same girl whom I'm looking for.. We experienced different kind of circumstances but we choose not to let go. You are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible..."
"You lit up my darkest world, You put a lot of colors in my black and white existence. You change me in every different way. You hold my hand and pull me up when I can no longer pull myself back. What did I do to deserve you?" Lisa burst our crying.
She wipe her tears using her thumb and bit her bottom lip "You told me that you want to live inside the Castle like a Princess and now your dream came true.. Not just a Princess but my Queen.. I would never get tired of looking back to the past which made us stronger. The tears that you will make from now on will be a tears of joy, no more heart breaks. You are the diamond that I would never think to barter to any kind of Gold. I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together"
"I, Lisa Manoban will take you as my devoted and loving wife, I promise to be here to wipe away tears of sadness, to elicit tears of joy, and to cry out to everyone who will listen how much I love you. I vow to be giving and forgiving; to make you laugh and to laugh at myself. I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you, and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my person, my love and my life, today and always and forever"
Lisa put the ring in Jennie's finger and give her the sweetest smile. Jennie's eyes turns red and her make up is already ruined as well as Lisa's. Everyone clap their hands and wipe their tears. Jennie's Mom and Lisa's Mother look at each other and give a hug. Joy and Minnie are somewhat Jealous that their big sister is already married and they will never be her babies anymore because in no time, Lisa and Jennie will have a baby.
Seulgi and Irene hug each other and waited for the kiss.
The officiant clear his throat before he announce "And Now, I announce you partners in life.. You may now kiss"
Lisa step closer to Jennie and cup her both cheeks "I'm waiting for this all my life... To kiss you in front of everyone and I will proudly say.. " Lisa stop and look at everyone "SHE'S NOW MY WIFE!!!" She shouted before she press her lips into Jennie's.
The moment that their lips touch each others, It is the moment when the sun kissed the sea.
Everyone clap and cheer for the two as they passionately kiss. Some of them cover the kids eyes including Leo who are giggling towards his new parents.
Jisoo and Chaeyoung kiss each other again but Jimin see it, he pull Rosé away from her but Yoongi and Bambam stop him.
"Let them kiss or even fuck each other later" Bobby chuckle.
Lisa and Jennie stay in front of everyone after they kissed. Lisa hold Jennie's hand and kiss it.
"I want to say something to you" Lisa said.
"What is it?" Jennie asked.
"Maybe God made this way so I can finally say that, I waited a decade just to see you.. I love you with all my heart and soul.. Jennie Kim Manoban, You are my Kingdom"
