Chapter 25: A Wedding disaster

Mordred had sent two servants to help Lyra with her hair and accessories. Lyra sat in silence as Sefa and Eira braided her long dark hair. Sefa had picked out a silver tiara with diamonds encrusted on it. "It is beautiful, Mi lady." She told Lyra. "The king would-" Lyra cu her off.

"It is lovely, but I do not deserve it. The king would think it too plain." Lyra wanted everything to be perfect, if not, Mordred would punish her or someone else.

"Maybe this one?" Eira asked, handing her another tiara with emeralds in them. Lyra shock her head.

"This one is beautiful" Sefa showed her a blue topaz and silver tiara that matched her favorite necklace.

"It's perfect. Thank you." Lyra said putting it on and then putting her necklace with a single topaz hanging around the sliver.

She looked like a true princess but she didn't feel like one. She felt like a bird trapped in a cage... Never taking wing.

There was a knock on the door. "My Lady, it's time!" someone called and then left without opening the door. Lyra's stomach churned.

Arthur will save me...He will...He'll save me... She kept telling her self as she walked towards the throne room, where everyone waited for her.

Mordred waited at the end of the hall with a smirk on his face, he would soon be a true king. The doors opened and Mordred could see, as Lyra walked down the aisle, was even more paler then usual.

She was next to Mordred now, and Lyra never looked into his eyes. It amused him.

The priest started his speech, "Kingdom of Camelot, we are gathered together here in the sight of God and His bounty of Angels to join together this Man and this Woman in a binding of life; it is an honorable estate, ordained in Paradise, and into which holy estate these two persons present come now to be bound."

He then turned to Mordred. "My lord, Wilt thou have this Woman to be thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her, in sickness and in health; and forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?"

Mordred's smirk grew. "I will."

The priest then turned to Lyra. "Princess Lyra, wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou obey him, and serve him, love, honor, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?"

Lyra looked at Mordred, who had now a serious look on his face, Where is Arthur? He should be here by now! Mordred smiled,

Say it, now. Or he will die. Mordred's voice was so clear in her head, she nodded, "I-I will..." she sighed. Mordred had a hint of victory in his eyes.

How did Mordred know about Arthur? Did Morgana betray them? What about Merlin...is he OK? Are they all OK.

After the wedding, when Mordred and Lyra were alone Lyra demanded to know what Mordred had done to her friends and Mordred showed her alright. He led her to the dungeons were Morgana, Merlin and Arthur were all chained and behind bars.

"Nooo!" She cried running to the bars. "Let them out!" She yelled at Mordred.

He scoffed. "No. I don't think so. If you should defy one more time... They will hang." He said, grabbing her forearm and pulling her back. "Come on." He said as she struggled against him. "Don't be stupid, wife. I've warned you, now come." He hissed dragging her back to their chambers.

Soooooooooo what do you think?
