Slave To The Darkness

Cedric looked at the watch around his wrist and looked up at her. "Not at all." He took her back into her dressing room and stood next to her. Yuki"s dress was a ball gown that had a high neck with tulle sweep train ruffles. It was black in colour. Around her neck were three frilly black roses that formed a choker as part of the dress. Her back was completely exposed with the skirt stopping at her waist and the front there were two thick fabric pieces that went up and connected to the roses. She wrapped her arm through his and smiled sweetly. "What do you think, Aislynn?"

"There are no words that can describe the amazing way that the two of you look together. I am glad that we had enough time to curl your hair and leave it down. If you would like I can take a photo of the two of you together." Aislynn was gus.h.i.+ng in happiness for the couple.

Yuki pulled out her phone and handed it to Aislynn to take the photo. Yuki moved to be closer to Cedric.

Cedric wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her in nice and close. Yuki placed her hand on his chest and her ring stood out on his chest. "That is beautiful." Aislynn snapped the picture and handed it back to Yuki.

There was a knock on the door and Cedric turned and opened the door. "I am so glad that you two are ready it is almost your turn. Not everyone has been ready on time but then again you two had the most time but I am checking up on couples. So far you two are the only couples actually ready. The other groups are being pushed so I will be back in five maybe ten minutes." The guy left the room and went back to the other rooms.

Yuki looked at Cedric, "It is not all that hard to get dressed up for an event like this and the thing is that each female room seems to have someone to a.s.sist them. I do not understand why it would take so long?"

"Do not worry about that, my little slave. We will just have to wait until it is our turn." Cedric smiled and picked up the water bottle that Aislynn bought for him. "Drink some water and cool down. Once we are done here we will go to the boat and sail away." Cedric pulled out his phone and saw a reply from Claude. ~No way! You left without us! I hate and love you at the same time. We will bring more fruits and vegetables. We will arrive in the evening tomorrow so catch some live sea creatures for us!!!~ Cedric showed the phone to Yuki while chuckling.

"Well, it is not like this was a planned event. I am looking forward to this more and more now." Yuki picked up the water bottle and was about to drink from the spout when Aislynn handed her a straw. "Thank you. I am a.s.suming it so that my lipstick doesn"t smudge."

Aislynn smiled, "it is so nice to be working with someone that actually understands and actually cares. I want you to know that I support you two all the way! If only that Karen chick would lose."

"Is there a reason that you think she will win?" Cedric looked at Aislynn curiously.

"Yes, there is a reason I say that. You know no matter who has entered and came close to winning somehow in the last part she always manages to pull ahead. To me just does not seem fair to all the other contestants. This is however the first year that I have seen her lose by so much." Aislynn looks at the door and walks closer before whispering, "If you ask me I would think that it was her father that helped her win all these years."

Cedric nods as if he understands. "I am sure that nothing bad will happen. I think that a spoiled brat like her needs to be knocked off her high horse and Liliana is the girl to do that."

Yuki smiled and was sitting on her chair drinking the cold water. "I trust Cedric. If it says it will not happen, then it won"t. Besides, I will not allow what is mine to become someone else"s. She is just a human and would not be able to satisfy him anyways." She put the water down and touched upon the lipstick. "I wish I could do my hair and makeup this well."

"If you say it will happen then I will trust the two of you. Will Cedric become our king?" Aislynn was smiling and looking between the two.

"You have only just gotten used to some things but it will take time for the others. I trust that you will learn. As for your question, Aislynn. I will be as soon as she regains her memories of the ceremony. It is a long story but after tonight we will be able to complete it. If you want an invite, write down your number and I will make sure that you can attend." Cedric was straight-faced but as he mentioned the ceremony his eyes lit up with happiness.

"I am looking forward to it. If he did not take this getaway I would probably demand that we do it right away." Yuki thought for a moment. ~Cedric, what about the crowns? I know we locked them away will they be safe where they were placed?~

~They will be fine. I would worry more about your memories than the crowns. I know that you are starting to understand their significance.~ Cedric looked at the door and then at his watch. "Seriously how much more time is this going to take? We have other plans. If it was not for Karen we would already be on the boat in the nude eating fresh seafood."
