Saving The Abandoned Empress-Chapter 209 - "Jennifer’s Wedding"
209 “Jennifer’s Wedding”
4 months later, Imperial Year 1754, 09th June~
(Arendell Kingdom)
“Are you sure that you don’t need me to check up on you?”
Jennifer, who was wearing a wedding dress asked with concern as she squat down to pat on Eleanora’s back.
“Am okay... Maybe i got motion sickness for travelling such a long way to here,”
Eleanora spoke in a low voice to reassure the worried Jennifer with a guilty conscience, as she rinsed her mouth after vomiting.
“You must tell me if you feel sick again,”
Jennifer spoke again as she helped Eleanora to get up and asked someone to fix her makeup again.
Eleanora had came to attend Dominic and Jennifer’s wedding as the bridesmaid.
.....
Although they had refused because Eleanora was an person with a higher rank but she wanted to become the bridesmaid no matter what.
She told them to see her as the groom’s little sister or the bride’s friend, instead of seeing her as the future empress of an empire.
Which finally made them give in to her words and let her be their bridesmaid.
Eleanora always liked the bridesmaid more, as that person was the one who would give the ring to the couple; it felt like she was the person who made those two people finally become one.
This was why Eleanora wanted to become the bridesmaid for them and fulfil her little wish.
She has been travelling all over the world in the last four months with her father.
Seeing the sea, the forest, the snow, the mystical aurora on the night sky, the waterfall, the mountains- there is almost nothing left for her to see anymore.
As she kept visiting new places, she enjoyed new experience and didn’t even realised that when she had stopped worrying about her future.
Now she doesn’t feel afraid anymore.
Everyone around her is accepting the changes and adapting to their new future.
Dominic became the new king of the Arendell kingdom after defeating his older brother in political battle, with the help of Jennifer and Cathain.
He changed his destiny, where he was supposed to not even be alive at this moment.
Cedrick rebuild the Raven Duchy, despite facing endless criticism from people. He stayed strong and started to lead his people for wisdom once again.
Jennifer changed her fate as a person who ruined everything, to a person who saved everyone.
It wasn’t easy, but she did it.
The previous emperor is still alive and well, helping his son to lead the empire and their broken relationship improved.
Her father is no longer keeping himself busy with works and spending leisure time with her to enjoy, no longer blaming himself for the death of her mother.
Alexander accepted his wife’s death as he thought that he would do the same if he was at her place.
No one wants to see their loved one getting hurt.
Then why can’t she also let go of the past and be happy, like them?
Everyone kept helping her from the very start and saved her by pulling her out from the darkness.
It’s unfair for everyone and to her, if she continues to torture herself by holding into the past.
No matter what, the past can’t be changed. It will always be a part of her life, which can’t be removed or forgotten.
It has became a part of her story, but she can’t keep running away because of this.
‘Even if i can’t let it go, i can still be happy..’
A smile appeared on Eleanora’s face as she looked at Dominic, who was wearing a luxurious white tuxedo along with a white cape drapped over his shoulder.
His dark blue hair was combed sideways as the gorgeous king’s crown on his head shine brightly like his golden eyes.
Happiness could be clearly seen in his golden eyes, which didn’t even blinked for a second and kept staring at Jennifer with amusement.
Eleanora was holding Jennifer’s long veil as she walked behind her, while wearing a simple white gown and a ribbon tied around her waist.
Jennifer blushed as Dominic keep staring at her with his cheeks turning red, which also amused Eleanora.
Both of them looked nervous, but the happiness was still clear in their faces.
Cedrick was also walking on the altar, while holding Jennifer’s hands as her only family member.
He did his best within his capacity to give his only little sister a dream wedding.
He knew how much she suffered when she wasn’t with them, and how their father had tried to manipulate her.
But she still stayed strong and did the right thing.
“If he ever bullies you, just turn him into a fool with your powers and covet his throne.”
Cedrick spoke as he glared at Dominic, before letting him hold Jennifer’s hands.
“That won’t be necessary, brother-in-law!”
“...”
Dominic finally understood why Cathain liked to call him ‘brother-in-law’ that much.
The feeling of snatching away someone’s precious tressure, felt really good.
‘But that doesn’t mean i will give him my sister that easily...’
And Eleanora wondered why Dominic looked at her with possisseveness.
Cedrick stepped down from the altar after placing a kiss on Jennifer’s forehead and Eleanora stood beside the priest with the beautiful wedding rings.
Watching the crowd, whom had their all attention on the bride and groom; Eleanora felt excited.
‘Is this how it feels like to marry the person you love?’
She never knew as her past self didn’t had a grand imperial wedding ceremony.
Even if she knew that the situation at that time was not suitable for a wedding ceremony, but deep inside her heart; she also wanted to wear a wedding gown and have a ceremony like this.
Where he would also look at her like Dominic is looking at Jennifer, exchange the vows and rings.
Be together infront of everyone as the witness of their love and seal the vows with a kiss.
‘Can i also have a wedding like this?’
Eleanora felt a little nervous and worried as she thought about this, but she wasn’t afraid anymore.
The priest continued to recite the vows, where Jennifer and Dominic kept staring at each other like there was no one around them.
“Will you, King Dominic De Caisson Arendell, accept Lady Jennifer La Liana Raven to be your wife, your queen, to live together in holy marriage?”
“Will you love, comfort, honor, and keep her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?”
“I do! I accept her as my one and only queen and wife, till death separates us,”
Dominic accepted the vows loud and clear, for everyone to know his love for her and a tear drop left from Jennifer’s caramel brown eyes.
Even Eleanora felt her eyes wet as she felt touched and walked towards him with the ring.
Dominic took the ring from Eleanora with a smile as he turned his head to look at Jennifer again.
“I give you this ring as a symbol of my love; and with all that I am and all that I have, I honor you, with my name, Jennifer Dominic Arendell; Do you agree to be mine?”
“I do...I do!!!”
Jennifer burst into tears with happiness as she accepted his vows and Dominic slipped the ring on her ring finger, before she also helped him wear his ring.
“Now, i declare you both as husband and wife from now on, You may kiss the bride.”
The guests all stood up and clapped for them, as Dominic lifted up Jennifer’s veil to kiss her.
Jennifer happily wrapped her arms around his neck as they finally became one.
Eleanora behind them, looked at them happily as a tear drop also left from her eyes.
‘Can we also be happy like them?’
