Queen of the Dragons
Chapter X: I Do

By: Michelle



The next morning, his servants escorted her to the throne room to join him for breakfast. Dragon Lord noticed that she had been crying, for her eyes were red. She didn't say much to him either. She just picked at her food.

Dragon Lord took her hand and kissed it. "This afternoon, you shall be my wife."

Mei Pieh didn't know how to respond to that. She couldn't even cry anymore. This was her future and she could stop it from happening.

After breakfast, his servants escorted her to a room to prepare her for their wedding. He sat on his throne proudly. Soon, he will have everything he wants.

"Father."

Young dragon came and hopped on his lap. Then, he saw the rest of his children: Bitoku (18), Katina (15), Hana (13), and Kira (2) who was sitting on his lap.

Kira hugged on him. "Father, no eat."

"Why haven't you eaten with us this morning or the nights before?" Hana asked.

"I've been busy." He replied and allowed Kira to snuggle in his lap.

"Doing what?" Kat asked and folded her arms.

Dragon Lord looked down at Kira who was falling asleep in his lap. "I was eating lunch with your Mother."

Bitoku gave him a look. Their Mother was killed thousands of years ago. What was his father up to?

"With you future Mother." Dragon Lord answered before his son could question him further. "I shall wed her this afternoon."

"Today." Kat was completely shocked and so were the others.

Hana rushed to him and hugged him tight. "Really. What is she like?"

"You shall learn tomorrow at dinner."

Hana smiled. She was so excited. It had been a LONG time since she could talk to a woman who would understand and care about her.

Kat just hung her head. Oh great! How wonderful! Let me get on my knees to praise the new Queen. Kat concluded she was going to hate her and do everything she could to be the daughter from hell.

Bitoku sighed. This means that he will have more brothers and sisters. Oh great! More siblings to fight over his father's kingdom. He thought to himself. His father was 34 and starting on his second marriage, when he is 18 and not even on his first. Wonder who his future mother will be?

Mei Pieh sat patiently in he white slip as the servants took care of her. They painted her eyelids and brought out her cheeks. She didn't know if she could get used to this much attention she thought as one of the servants filed her nails.

She looked at her gown hanging up. It was beautiful white and light blue kimono dress. Light blue was her favorite color. White was a symbol of purity. Tonight would be the last time she wore that color.

**************************************

The time had finally come, she thought to herself as she looked down the aisle at her future husband. He was dressed in a gold and silver armor and his cape glittered red. He looked down the aisle at her, awaiting for her to join him.

Bitoku looked at her walking to join his father. She was beautiful. No wonder why his father was marrying her. He kind of felt sorry for her. He could tell by the look in her eyes, she did not want to marry him.

Kat observed the woman her father was marrying. She was barely older than she was. And this was suppose to be HER mother. She ain't even a dragon, plus she was bald. That's good. Two things to hate about her.

Hana watched her future mother knee next to her father. She was so pretty and she seemed so nice. This was going to be so cool. She liked everything about her even though she never met her personally.

Kira watched the woman talk to her father. Then, she played with her dress. She really didn't understand what was going on until the dragons in the room clapped and cheered. Party time.

"I do." Mei Pieh said softly.

Dragon Lord smiled and answered. "I do."

Wick declared Mei Pieh and the Dragon Lord as husband and wife.

Dragon Lord placed his hand on her cheek and gently caressed it. He leaned forwarded and kissed her. Mei Pieh wanted to pull away from him, especially when she felt his tongue enter her mouth. Of course, he didn't let that happen.

All the dragons in the room cheered as Dragon Lord took her hand and stood up. He walked with her out the room gazing at his prize. They danced and partied until he had his servants take her to prepare for tonight.
