The Weddings Night part 1
Filia ended cleaning her kitchen. It was so clear that she saw her mirror image in every tile in her kitchen floor. Jilias was standing near her and also proudly looking at himself. He was wearing a smart suit and white gloves on his hands.
"How do I look, boss?" he asked.
"Very good, Jilias. But could you tell me why you dress so formal? Sorry for sticking my nose in it, but I saw you have already bought nice flowers and booked a table in first-class restaurant. Did something happen?"
"Well, it will happen! Boss, I'm going to ask mum of Paul to marry me!"
"Oh, that's nice! I hope she won't reject you. You are so kind and such a good person!"
"She won't" Jilias smiled "In that night she won't!"
"That night?" Filia didn't understand.
"Well, don't you know that Wedding Night is coming?"
Yes, of course! She forgot about it! There is a one night in every century in which when the man ask girl to marry him, she couldn't refuse. It was called The Wedding Night and every single woman was waiting for it. Filia was single, but she wasn't so fanatic in looking for a husband. Well, she was happy of being alone, just with Jilias, Gravos and small Valgaav.
"However, I wish you good luck!" she smiled to him.
He smiled back and went back to his work with potteries. Filia looked at herself. What did she have to do? Did she have to hide so that no one could force her to marry him? Well, Filia wasn't so popular here and she wasn't attractive for local bachelors at all. In that condition she didn't have to be afraid of having not–welcome-husband. Yes, she would be single, like a spinster. She sighted and straighten her back.
"Hello Filia my dear!" suddenly she heard.
She jumped and look around. Behind her there was Xellos sitting cheerfully in the air. He had his eyes closed and had very pleasant smile. What was he up to?
"WHAT ARE YOU NAMAGONI DOING IN MY KITCHEN?"
"Oh, how rude, my dear Filia! Old friend has come and you are greeting him like that!"
"You are not my friend! You hate me and I hate you too!"
"Well, maybe in the past."
The dragon looked at him suspiciously. In the past?
"But after these years I realised that it is bad to have enemies. That's why I'm here. I want to say sorry for all nasty things which I have done to you. And here is present for you."
Behind his back he took out beautiful bunch of red roses. Filia hardly believed her eyes. Roses where real and they smell nice. She carefully took them from him. They didn't change into monster or other ugly things. Xellos was still smiling.
"How did you like it?" he asked.
"It's beautiful! Thank you, Xellos! Now I see you decided to be good."
"Yes, I am!"
"We can be friends from now on. If you have any problem, please tell me and we will try to solve it together. That's how friends do."
"Yes my little friend." Xellos decided to sit normally on the chair. "How I sad before, after these all years I became quite old. Don't deny, Filia, I feel it in my heart. Yes, I AM old."
Filia didn't understand why he was sharing with her his depressing thoughts. But she was patient, maybe he would explain that.
"But not so old." He lifted his finger and open one eye. "I'm old enough to give up work, settle somewhere and teach young Mazokus how to be as I was. Yes, I'm ready to do it. I'm ready to have children!"
Filia looked nervously on the doors. Why was he telling it to her? He didn't want to make her be a mother of his children, did he? Well, he was capable to do so.
Xellos saw Filia's disquiet and began to laugh.
"But firstly I want to have a beautiful wife." He sad and close his eye.
Filia felt that her blood was colouring her cheeks. He wanted to have a wife! Xellos! Well, thinking logically, he was here. He gave her flowers and asked her to be friends. Did another thing which he was going to ask was… Filia wasn't expected that! She wasn't ready! But if so, she would have married him! He was handsome, strong, famous, he had many advantages. Yes, she would be a perfect wife and she would be a good mother for mazoku-ryzoku children. They would be a happy family together.
"And you are a woman."
"Yes, I am"
"So, you know many things about other women."
"Yes…"
"My little friend, match me with Lina!"
Amelia was happily waiting in the Castle's Gardens. Three days before she received a massage from Zelgadis. He wanted to talk to her in privacy. What did he want her to tell? Was it very important? Well, if mister Zelgadis wanted to talk in privacy.
She saw him coming from the Western Gate. She held her breath. He was so elegant and look-like-inaccessible, like always. There was Wedding Night coming and Amelia hoped it was it about which Zelgadis decide to talk to her. In her justice hart she dreamt about being his wife. Wedding Night was an excellent idea for him to pop the question.
"Hello mister Zelgadis" she began.
"Good morning Amelia. I'm glad you got my letter and decided to help me."
"Everything for you, mister Zelgadis."
The chimera looked around and then, when he was sure nobody was listening to him, with low voice he said:
"I want to talk about the Wedding Night."
All stars went to Amelia and began to dance with her.
"Yes?" she asked with her voice shaking.
"You were always my favourite friend that's why I'm asking. In this Wedding Night I want to ask Lina Inverse to marry me. Would you be so kind and help me?"
Amelia was in shock. Mister Zelgadis wanted to marry Lina, not her! Why? Why this ugly, rude and stylless gal was so attractive for him?
"Why?" she couldn't resist asking.
"I think it is love."
"Oh" Amelia was trying to turn up her tears.
"She was the first woman who I wasn't afraid to talk to. She is beautiful and strong."
"You love her?"
"Yes. Um, Amelia, why are you crying?"
"Because… because… I'm so happy you will be married!" said Amelia and started to cry.
