The Setup

She was so happy today was her wedding day, she marveled at her beauty in the mirror as the extravagance of her white wedding dress enveloped her. She straightened her hair, and as she looked at her wedding dress she also saw a lot of money and wealth,

“you are going to be very rich Eleanor, very Rich!” she laughed evilly and added more powder to her face. She quickly went to the bathroom and when she came back, she met a note on her dressing table. She walked over and read it,

“I’ve finally found out the evil plan of yours to have the kingdom for yourself. You were going to eliminate me and take everything for yourself, I thought you loved me Eleanor, but now I know you don’t. So I will not hesitate, I will expose you to Rob and your life will be ruined. You will not get away with this. Rick. How could he do this to me?!” she tore the paper to shreds, and realization dawned on her,

“How did he know I was going to kill him too and have everything for myself? Argh!!” she threw her perfume bottle at the mirror, she was seething with rage. She wouldn’t allow anything to ruin this day for her.

She rushed downstairs to quickly get married to Rob and get this over with. She composed herself as she walked down the aisle, her dress sweeping the floor. She pulled on a fake smile as people watched her meet her future husband and the bishop that was to bring them together as man and wife, but deep within fear and anxiety burned within her.

Thank goodness Rick was nowhere to be seen, she couldn’t have him spoil this.

She stood beside him and the whole procedure went on, the exchanging of rings, the talk and other kinds of stuff. Her eyes darted to Arianna which was happily smiling at her, she was so confused right now, she even gave her a thumbs up.

And Rava didn’t seem to be bothered either. No growls or attacks, this was to be the most blessed day of her life, but she was still so confused. More like she was dreaming. She shook her head unnoticed and concentrated on what was going on.

“do you Eleanor take Rob to be your lawfully wedded husband?”

“I do.” she gave a false smile and he smiled back at her,

“do you Rob take Eleanor to be your lawfully wedded wife?”

“I do.” her heart skipped beats, this was happening.

So much money, hers.

“you may now kiss.”

And just as they were about to kiss, a voice, more like cry interrupted them,

“wait your majesty!!” Rick ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Everyone stopped to listen to what he had to say, “she is deceiving you!" and the whole cliché gasping occurred, “she is evil, she plans to rob you of your kingdom!”

“be quiet! How could you betray me like this Rick! I trusted you and you turned your back on me!” she marched to him to demand an answer,

“no! you turned your back, not me. You are a disgusting woman Eleanor! I can’t believe I slept with you all this time! I hope you rot in hell!” he spat.

And then the cliché gasping,

“Look who’s talking, so much for the ambassador of the king! You’re nothing but a scandal!” she blurted,

“you’re calling me a scandal?! You’re a murderer, you killed the king and queen and you enjoyed every bit of it!!" he spat out.

Then the gasp,

“you were in it to remember?! Don’t blame it all on me! Everything wrong that happened was just because of the both of us. Everything!”

They were furious at each other and the worst part for them is that they just said all that about each other in public. It was really funny to the good guys, Rob tried his hardest from breaking into uncontrollable laughter.

Even Arianna, Adrian, Ruby, Sandra, Aaron, Keith, Barry and Carl weren’t doing so well either.

Rob cleared his throat,

“Eleanor, how could you do this to me?” he faked a sad expression,

“no Rob I can explain. He’s lying!" she held his arm and begged with him but he wasn’t budging,

“get out.” he hissed,

“no please!” she begged,

“get out! Both of you!” he almost broke into a smile. He was so happy he was doing this.

Adrian assembled his other guards, and like taking candy from a baby, kicked them out. It felt so good to him, he had to rub it in their faces by blowing raspberries at them. He was so glad that the scenario played itself perfectly, he was so happy that they were gone.

When he came back and nodded in affirmation, the good guys burst out laughing. They acted like spoilt brats that just blamed each other for the wrong they both committed. Even Rava was laughing, but other guests were quite confused.

Rob released them and promised them a better and true wedding after five weeks. But there was something he had to do. He walked over to his beloved, and went down on one knee,

“Arianna my love, will you marry me?” he brought out a ring from his pocket, his eyes glistening with love. Her emotions softened, her heart warmed,

“yes I will Rob.” a small smile formed. He slid the ring in her finger as the heroes cheered. He got up and gave a tight hug, kissing her in the end. The other guests were still quite surprised at the sudden turn of events, but they couldn’t help but be happy.

“I promise an explanation next week Which will be at my lovely banquet on Friday at nine pm sharp. Make sure you be there if you want to understand what is happening here. Have a good day everyone." he dismissed them all. They just shrugged their shoulders and left, hopefully, they would get an explanation by next week.

He turned to her,

“I love you Arianna.” he brushed some hair away from her face,

“I love you-” he muffled her word with another kiss. Happy moment, happy day.
