The Knights Arranged Bride

Chapter Three : The Unexpected

symphony got prepared, Drake has told her that he is taking her to Lucian's wedding, one of Drakes friends, she chose to wore a white gold Asymmetric colour dress,which reaches her knees with a wide cutting on her side. her waste is see through and and her one sided sleeves are bell sleeves, she likes it.

she has to admit she looks nice in it. placing her hair into a waterfall braids as usual.. she looks more like herself, she always has no issues showing her skin a little.

Not because she wants to flaw her skin to other men to whiteness,

well she is married anyway, owned by Drake ever since she was 10.

She was 10 years old when she was betrothed to him

Now at age 25, she felt as if she had been married forever. 

The feeling of the breeze of cool air touching her skim with the dress she wore, she likes it. placing her over knee boots, she applied coal on her eyes which highlights her dark brown eyes and sprays herself some Jasminum flower scent. that is her scent, she loves the smell of it.

" Are you done.." Drake again frightening her, barge in to her room unannounced, not even a knock. 

" almost" she replied smilling getting up from the lowboy typed dressing table adjusting her dress. 

" are you going to wear this" he asks her

" is there a problem" Symphony could detect he doesn't likes it, she bits her bottom lips looking at him, she thought it looks nice on her,

" too many skin showing.." he told her , his light blue eyes seemed dark, He looks angry at her. 

" I.. I like..it.." she couldn't even finish her sentence though it came out as a whisper, Drake didn't allow her to continue.

" Change it, now.." he said looking at her, well it always has been Drakes way, Not symphony Drakes. feeling Upset Symphony walks to her wardrobe. 

" I prefer you covered.." Drake says walking to her bed seating on her bed, its like his waiting for her to choose the dress and to show it to him and only with his approval she gets to wear it. 

she feels upset, don't show it your emotion to him, symphony, do not show it to him. 

for Drake, he doesn't shares what is his. and he doesn't like sharing her looks to anyone except for him.

Being the good girl symphony has always been trained to be, she conceal her emotions, picking up another dress which is a long evening dress elegance in cream in color with orange and lavender flower print empire dress, which has ruffled cap sleeves. 

walking to her bathroom, she changes her dress, despite the fact this dress fits her well, all covered and long and very elegant, she doesn't likes elegant, it is not her style, its how the reach people wears it, she likes different. tying up the lace at her waste, she walks out to Drake. she is upset it is very clear. 

" lets go.." thats all was his words, no complements no nothing. she changes her boots , she decides to wear flats instead. whatever, suddenly her excitement just went into the drain.

at outside, Drake's Black Pagacorn Midnight, was waiting for them, he helped her up on the beast, while he seat at the back of her. it has been many moons since the last she rode or even step outside from Drakes house. she seemed happy feeling the sky and the breeze and she gasps feeling Drakes hands rubbing her thighs. 

her cheeks became a tint of pink feeling shy, she can feel his chest behind her, arriving at the destination, he helped her down from Midnight, she gives a warm pet on Midnights head.. a sign of her appreciation to the beast, ,which surprised Drake, he never did that to Midnight and it seemed a little foreign to him looking at the scene.

He shows his hand to her, she hesitantly gives her hand back which made him to pull her away from there to The Temple of Hephaisteion , Lucian's wedding is held in there. 

the whole day dragged by with him introducing her to everyone as his wife while she curtsy to them sweetly, the women who came as guest, were all weary and well to do and highly in fashioned , long dress yes but they do show their skin,which made Symphony a little unsettled of the choice of dress she has choose to wear, she feels old fashioned like an old lady. even the old lady here has some pride of sense in fashioned. Symphony feels like she is embarrassing Drake and for some reason she doesn't likes it. its like she is embarrassing herself being a knights wife and all. 

" ah Sir Drake, its been some time" a women wearing a blood red trumpet dress came to greet Drake. Beauty is an understatement for sure. She looks out in the ordinary, she has thick straight blonde hair, thick eye lashes, and very blue eyes. her figure is to die for, she came and kisses Drake cheek while he kisses her back, they must be long time friends.

" Isabella, its been awhile, meet Symphony.. my newly wedded wife... Symphony this is Isabelle , the princess of the Divinity Palace" Drake introduce her, she smiles at her awkwardly, a princess of course, Symphony feels she doesn't belong here, its way out of her character. the men and women here seems to know everyone and she feels foreign.

" its a pleasure to meet you..Symphony " this girl told looking at her

" oh please.. the pleasure is all mine..your highness " Symphony curtsy smiling to her back. she feels dumb her voice feels dumb and she is getting nervous. 

" she is the daughter of the sir Damien Moonlit , a daughter of a Lilithbeth Knight" Isabelle asks Derek,

" yes she is..." answered Drake for her, 

" ah Symphony.. there you are.." Symphony turns to the voice seeing Drakes mother Olivia, she felt relieved , finally a person that she knows off. Symphony hugs her back . Lucian's father raised his Goblet at the stage top for everyones attention, and that settled the crowd to give silence as the respect for this marriage.

Lucian and his wife Saraphine got married at last, they drank the goblet field with night cherry flower wine which seals their marriage, Saraphine belongs to Lucian now. they congratulate the couple presenting them their gifts and was all set at their table. the servers are serving them a feast. And Symphony enjoyed every meal, its getting a little tiresome eating her own cooked food for some time now, this feels nice. 

later that day Mark introduced Althea to everyone at his table, Olivia and Draco seems to accept her and gave their marriage blessing to them. 

Althea is very beautiful, light green eyes with light blonde hair and very high spirited. she seemed very intelligent and knows many things. Her parents were also there and they are Nobel. Her father Aric the Duke of Vesara married her mother Arial Dutches of Liverale makes her having a noble bloodline in both of this realm, Of course knowing Draco he is impressed of his son, and soon Althea,Olivia and Arial were talking about wedding preparation. Symphony was invited in the conversation but she just do not know what to talk about. 

As the time pass, it was time for a dance, every couple who came there joined the dance, they were having the traditional Cesare Negri dance, which looked fun and entertaining, and all couples who came is to join. Aric and Arial joined the dance along with Mark and Althea. Olivia wanted to join as well with Draco but doesn't wants to go because of Symphony. She doesn't wants Symphony to feel lonely. It has been around 20 minutes now Drake is not at the table, he excuse himself saying he will be there in a minute and that was all, no direction of where he went or why he left.

feeling bad for Olivia, Symphony gets up... 

" I'll be in the powder room, for awhile... and the dance.. it awaits you.. go you should go there with father " in Lilibeth the moment you marry , the mans parents automatically becomes your parent and you to call them as mother and father. its a sign of a respect. Symphony says smiling at Olivia cheering her up, Olivia laughs beaming, standing up walking to Draco who seemed to be busy talking with some of his friends, He pulled him along, for a dance. 

Symphony smiled looking at them both dance, it is so romantic. How she wish it could be her.

Walking to the powder room at the same time wondering for Drake, where could he be... 

she heard moaning voice and sloping, terribly in the powder room, moaning and banging.

" ohh god..." the women scream, rolling her eyes... why on earth would people wanna have s*x in a temple , she walks away avoiding to go to the girls powder room 

" Drake, please Drake... more... Drake...." she hears the same women moaning his name, her husbands name. she couldn't walk away, she needed to know, it could be many Drake, please let it be not her Drake let it be not her Drake, how wrong was she.

the moment she sneaks in, she sees it all.. Isabella was on the counter while Drake was f*****g her kissing her lips, they didn't caught her looking. 

feeling sad and betrayed she ran from there to the table, she was alone seating there. no one was there, everyone was busy dancing and having fun, the orchestra was so loud along with everyones laughter and fun. bitting her bottom lips she look down trying to ignore everything whats happening. 

a few minutes later after the dance, everyone came back to the seat. it was a 8 chair seated table, symphony knows she looks upset, no matter how much she tries to plaster her emotions, it just couldn't do.

Althea laughs, " That was a nice dance... Symphony why didn't you join us, where is Drake.." Althea asks laughing . symphony was silent, no expression no response, she feels ashamed.

Mark seemed to catch there is something off with her, 

" whats wrong with her.." Althea tries to push it, Mark shh her down telling her to ignore, which she happily did. Her mother Ariel started a jock which made the table to laugh, not Symphony, not her. conceal Symphony, conceal your emotions, she tries but it is just too painful

a good few minutes later Drake finally decided to join, looks very fresh as ever, she didn't look at him, she ignore to look at him nor anyone, her eyes cascaded down.

" what did I miss..." Drake came with his cheerful voice..

" the dance.. it was lovely.. you should had been here... symphony would had loved it..if you had danced with her." Olivia started laughing of what he had missed. if only she knew.

" oh , its just a dance... we will catch it next time..." Drake says casually drinking his wine, Drake can see Symphony is tensed, whatever .

" your wife seems to be upset at you.." Draco the devil father in law told, Symphony doesn't wants to be the centre of attention.

" really..." he said staring at her, 

" I am good , father ..." she says her chin up not even encouraging him a look

" see, she doesn't even deny's it.. she has been giving attitude on the table, the moment you had left the table " just stop talking Draco , oh my god Draco is evil

"shh... dear..." Olivia tries to calm Draco up, but he seemed a little drunk , he had a little too much to drink

" apologies to them" was what Drake ordered her staring at her straight. she flinches..looking at them

" I am sorry, if i had misbehaved anyway tat would had upsetter anyone .." Symphony told looking at them..

" oh no... no dear... don't make that girl feel awkward around us..." Ariel told feeling guilty looking at Symphony, 

" she has done nothing to upset us, poor girl was quite all along.." Aric agreeing.

" If you excuse me.." Symphony got up feeling so upset and degraded stood up and walked out to the entrance. 

" Symphony" she can hear Drake calls for her but she didn't turn, she didn't even look

A few seconds later, Drake was all on her, He drags her elbow which made her to gasp looking up at him, her fresh tears coming out..

" who do you think you are ..." he clenched his teeth, it suppose to be her who is pissed not the other way around, he was hurting her.

" Bro, not here.. bro... people are watching.. news spreads easy.. not here.." Mark came out looking at them both.

" Fine..." he was still in anger and pushes her to Midnight, roughly made her to seat on the beast.. he seats behind her and rides back to his home.

he didn't say a word to her, Symphony is very scared and nervous now.
