30 hours before my big day disaster struck.

" The dress is too small.."

I was trying my light blue beautiful and very expensive wedding dress..and it was bloody uncomfortable.

" How? IT WAS FINE LAST WEEK!?? " - I tried various poses but it was useless..I felt stuffed.

Granny smiled with mother and Miranda while the others surrounded me as if it will make me skinny again.

" It's the chocolate, I'm telling you ..

" Shut up Eli.."

I took a few deep breaths and counted to five.

Thinking it over..

" I'm going to starve myself and hope for the best..worst case scenario, I'll wear it for what? Half a day?.. less?..it's fine. "

I quickly took off that prison disguised as fabric and let them comfort me..

" Just imagine...tomorrow you'll be very close..

" To wedding or sex Demelza?

" Both, Lizzy..

" We have everything ready sweetheart so why not rest..or you can go shoot your arrows...

" Or just go for runs.. after all you do look puffy..

" Shut up Miri..Lylly, you look full..

" How is that better?..

" It doesn't matter it's been 6 days..Zephyr must be going mad..

" Lord Zephyr looks composed as always my beloved..

" I can't believe you survived close to a week little one..I'm very proud. "

Granny had such a peaceful smile I didn't wanna correct her that one week has came and gone..while I didn't ..came or gone once.

" Thank you granny.."

" She is right sweetheart, let's spend the day without stress..

" I'm going to train with the bow...go do a final, final check and we meet at dinner. "

" Yeah but..

" Mother?..You stressing me out.."

They left me alone. Being a bride is like having powers ..

——

We spent some lovely dinners before, at some point our family grown but, tonight was even more special.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

We couldn't separate while listening to the drunken ramblings of our family.

" Adfte to high.. tonight..wedbe another..

" Alright honey..maybe that was enough. " - Demelza took her husband glass who reached a new kind of drunk. He sat down resting his head near the empty plate.

I howled with the rest of them pretty loaded myself.

I felt his touch on the inside of my thighs and leaned back to capture his lips...

Hmm..just one more day.

" Zeph, I'll would have a last second invitee. "

Carlos pulled us back and scared me..is it Yelena?

" It's a good friend of mine who noticed my absence and sent a rider. I told him what's happening and he asked if it would be okay.."

Oh..good. I thought my mother will be forced to smile politely and force it on my special day.

Disaster averted.

" Who is he? "

" His name is Marcus and he is a traveller, I've met a few months back. He is decent with the daggers and heard about you. "

We looked at each other and agreed.

" Tell him that he can come.. "

" Just Marcus huh? Is he from around here? "

" No..to be honest, I'm not sure where he hails. He found me as he seeks out blessed for a fight...I'll bet he might change his mind once meeting you Zeph."

Great, some smelly ahole wanted challenge Gods chosen around the lands and we have to feed the man.

My Zephyr smiled and noticed my thoughts from the back of my head.

" It's fine ..I'll send him flying and give him a new pair of pants if, he wet himself. "

He put my mind at ease. I hate to admit it..but Cintia is right.

If he were alone.

No family or friends to worry about he could just kill the king soon as he is within eyesight. Poof and he is dead. Nothing can save the man unless, Ehlite intervene himself.

He went outside to get some air and walked Sir Dog...and I joined him immediately..or at least I wanted too.

" No you don't! " - Eli took my arm and shoved me down back to my seat. " I been watching and you were..well you're not going to ruin the last 24 hours. Bear with it for one more day. "

I didn't even get angry, just annoyed a little with her ever watching eyes.

He soon returned with Sir Dog who got a lot bigger now shaking his head at me.

Even somewhat drunk, I understood ..it was my fault we got him in the first place and he have to walk him because princess is young and I'm ..blah blah blah.

I sent him a kiss and looked towards our room now mine for a week.

That bed was sure big when you alone. Anna spent her days with me and nights with him at tavern.

I was nervous..tomorrow just before sun set we be married in front the entire village and then...well you know.

Zephyr once again took the man with him back the tavern..I saw Eleanor annoyed expression..I suppose she or now that I think about it, neither is Demelza..no one got any all week.

Now that's solidarity.

He stopped to embrace me before he left.

" The wait is over..."

I leaned on his lips. " Sure is..getting married tomorrow. "

He grabbed my ass hard enough make me squeal a little. " I was thinking having sex but, now it's two reasons.."

" Blasphemous idiot.."

I kissed him again then sent him away ..we couldn't fail 23 hours from the finish line.

All week the house was nothing but ladies and one time Carlos slept in Ciren room when he got bored of the floor in the tavern.

" I can't believe it's tomorrow sweetheart..

" So much happened Sisi..

" Congratulations little one..

Surrounded by my family and friends smiles I walked up after a lengthy hug and slept hopefully the last time alone in our home.

It took time but I did fell asleep and my dreams were ..a disturbing mix of naughty and then 'Oh my God..Why, I'm naked on my wedding day?' OH..its because, I was to fat for my my dress...

We all have our own nightmares.
