Chapter 11:

It was finally Eléonore's 'happiest day of her life', to be honest many including herself thought that it would never come, but now she was to get married to a prince from another country, it almost sounded like a dream, so how was the bride feeling in this crucial moment, well… she was panicking, since the wedding happened so suddenly Eléonore had forgotten to consider a really important detail, since Al was a prince, when they marry she would be a princess, she could even become a queen in the future… kind of obvious really but she had just realized that now, and as a result was far much nervous than any other moment in her life.

Her father had already walked her to the altar, and now the priest in front of her was saying a bunch of things that she couldn't understand because she was too busy trying to calm herself.

"Miss de la Vallière, are you all right?"

The priest spoke, and she noticed everyone was waiting for her to say something.

"Yes… sorry what was it again?"

"I asked if you accept this man as your husband."

Eléonore turned around to see Al standing beside her… chuckling… what a jerk.

"Yes I do."

The priest then turned to Al.

"And you Alphonse take Eléonore Albertine le Blanc de la Vallière as your wife?"

"Yes I do."

The priest then closed his eyes and said the final words.

"Then by the powers conferred to me, I declare you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride"

And so they kissed as they were told, Eléonore was a little embarrassed since it was their first time kissing in public, but she enjoyed it anyway… then they quietly leaved the church, but weren't going to enjoy their wedding night right away, not only because it was still 5pm, but because her sister was going to get married in a few hours and of course she wanted to be there.

Meanwhile Saito was waiting outside the church, since Eléonore wedding was already over and his would be starting in a few minutes, he was preparing himself mentally for it, having seen the previous wedding he already had a good idea what to do, by the way, he had to admit Eléonore looked stunning in that dress, her beauty almost matched his fiancé's.

"Saito san, do you have a moment?"

Saito turned around to see who was calling him, and found Siesta, who was wearing a pink dress instead of her regular maid clothes, she looked wonderful as well.

"Hi Siesta, What's wrong?"

"I just want to inform you that after the wedding is over, I'll be resigning my job as your personal maid and will be going back to work in the magic academy."

To be honest Saito was not surprised by her decision, ever since his engagement, Siesta had been really depressed, even Louise became worried about her.

"Well, you'll be missed, but I understand, I wish you the best of lucks."

While her decision saddened him, he knew Siesta didn't deserve to be second to anyone and was better finding someone who loved her as he loved Louise … truth be told, if Louise didn't exist, he could have been that person.

"I'll write you some letters, maybe even pay you guys a visit every now and then, ok? So don't think this is goodbye."

She had a sad smile on her face as she said this.

"Of course it's not, I'll be looking forward to them."

After that she gave him a polite bow, and proceeded to enter into the church, soon he went inside as well, his bride was ready and he had to wait for her on the altar.

After a few minutes that felt like an eternity had passed, his future father in law appeared with his bride… god… the sight of Louise on her wedding dress was completely magnificent, forget anything he said before, Louise was by a mile the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and the memory of her in that dress would remain in his heart forever... stupid world doesn't even have cameras, he'd kill for one now.

While he was on his daze, Louise had walked through the altar and was now on his side, she took him by the hand bringing back to earth, and proceeded to give the final steps to the altar together, the priest began with his speech, however neither of them were listening, they were both so happy to be finally married that they just wanted to get over with the ceremony.

Finally, the priest made the questions they wanted to hear:

"Do you Louise take Saito Chevalier De Hiraga Des Ornières as your husband?"

"Yes, I do"

"And do you Saito takeLouise Francoise le Blanc de la Vallière as your wife?"

"Yes, I do"

"Then by the powers conferred to me, I declare you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride"

And so… they did and finally Louise and Saito had given the final step on their relationship, they were sure there would be tough times ahead (there always were), but they were also sure they could find the happiness they yearned together.

After the wedding as the now married couple was leaving the church, they found the other newlyweds and their family who were waiting for them.

"Eléonore neesama, I thought you were gone already."

Eléonore then grabbed Louise's cheek one last time.

"Of course not, tonight we'll be staying in my old house, and we'll be parting tomorrow so I could stay without problems... there's no way I would miss my little sister wedding."

She let go of Louise cheek.

"Thanks a lot oneesama!"

They would be going early tomorrow so they had to say their goodbyes today.

"Bye bye sis, thank you for the house and everything else you've done for me. "

Cattleya looked tired, being the maid of honor of two weddings in row had taken its toll on her.

"Goodbye oneesama, I'll miss you, thank you for everything."

Louise was on the verge of crying.

"Bye bye Eléonore san."

Even Saito said his farewells, he didn't have too many good memories of her, but he'll miss her.

"Goodbye my dear daughter, take care of yourself."

Her father had tears on his eyes.

"I wish you the best in your life dear, don't forget to write."

Karin was holding her tears back as she said this.

"Well, I would like to thank all of you for supporting me, tomorrow I'll be gone, but I'll send letters and probably visit whenever I can… so goodbye everyone"

When all the goodbyes had been said, Eléonore took a carriage with Al that would take them home, Louise and Saito did the same thing, it was now time for the newlyweds to enjoy their wedding night.
