Part of Genevieve died that night… How could he sell her life on her birthday?
"Genevieve... may I enter?" Drocell's soothing voice came from her door.
"…. Come in Drocell." She tried to hide her emotions but her butler wrapped his arms around her and she broke down crying. "It's just not fair; they treat me like as though my head is filled with straw! Can't he understand that I don't want to marry my cousin…"
"Now stop that my lady," Drocell's hand directed the young girl's head toward his as he kissed her forehead gently," He only wants what's best for you… a man must treat you like a fragile jewel who deserves the best care." Drocell said as he sighed, his eyes were as sad as hers," However, the viscount is the best man for that position in your father's eyes… I would go as far as to sell my soul to demons just so I could have even the slightest chance at becoming your husband."
"….Dro…Drocell…" Genevieve started to blush.
"Yes, even I want the chance to lay beside you till death parts us… even if it is just a butler's fantasy." He looked into her eyes, his eyes always had a vampire like gaze that Genevieve always admired, he noticed her blush and turned his head away slightly," I… I apologize my lady, this seems so very unprofessional of me but I-" Suddenly Genevieve cupped his chin lovingly and slowly lead him into a soft, passionate kiss. "Lady Genevieve…."
"For so many years, I have always wanted you to say those words drocell…" She said after she broke the kiss after several minutes," I love you Drocell Keinz… as god as my witness, I swear my unending love to you.." she said as she returned his embraced and rested her head on his shoulder.
"So… you'll have me?" he asked as she nodded. "Yes…."
You couldn't find a happier man when Genevieve said this; he now knew that his feelings for Genevieve will return… They were both madly in love. One of his arms let go of Genevieve and went into his pocket," I have something for you…. It was meant to be a birthday present." It was a ring that had a shining blue jewel placed on it.
"Is that a-""Yes… a piece of the hope diamond." Drocell said as he slipped the rind onto her finger and kissed her lightly, "Genevieve… You and I will travel the world and behold its' wonders as husband and wife..." They said their vows and then they passionately kissed… Laying next to each other as husband and wife… their wedding only between them and god as it was with the first two humans on earth..
