Sorceress - Chapter 295

The priestess suddenly snapped her finger and yelled to some unknown entity.

“Tell her highness to make haste before her groom passes out.”

Aiden’s leg buckled underneath him but the priestess grabbed on to him and roughly pulled him up to his feet. Then she hissed in Aiden’s ear, annoyed.

“For Pete’s sake! Child, have courage!!! It is just  marriage..”

Just a marriage??

MARRIAGE YOUR HEAD!!!

If I could just kill you, I would have killed you a thousand times already!!!!

Aiden wanted to shout that out but he no longer had the strength to do so.

So instead he weakly said and begged to the priestess.

“I can’t get married. Please, let me go…”

The priestess gazed pitifully at Aiden as she whispered,

“Be brave, my child. It will be over soon.”

Terror was slowly paralyzing Aiden’s body, freezing his muscles as his situation become more desperately hopeless.

The zombie priestess continues to support him as his knee tried to cave in.

Sensing Aiden’s distress, the priestess called out to no one in particular as she issued another command.

“Will someone tells her Highness to hurry up and claim her groom before he could even pass out?!”

A small pale boy got up and run down the aisle disappearing in the mist.

A hush ripple of laughter followed after as they all stared at the spectacle before them

“Settle down now,”

The priestess said firmly to the rowdy crowd.

She then gave Aiden’s shoulder a gentle squeeze.

Err… Is she trying to cheer me up or give me some kind of moral support or something???

Aiden can’t but feel that his head was starting to spin

It did not take long for the small pale boy to come running back up the aisle and the priestess mouthed,

‘Is she coming’

On which the small pale boy nodded to show his answer.

“O geez!! Please, if this is a nightmare, please someone wake me up!

Aiden closed his eyes tightly before opening it up once again. Hoping that by doing so, he will wake himself up from this nightmare.

The heads of the crowd began to peer eagerly over their shoulders expecting something or someone.

Aiden stood rigidly and helplessly at the front of the altar while the cold and terror numbed him down to his core.

The decomposing priestess of the River of Synx made a small indication towards another invisible entity and out of nowhere an organ began to play a haunting melody.

The wedding guests all turned sideways looking down the aisle as they waited in anticipation.

Their faces lit up in broad smiles as the music started to kick in. I was not the usual bridal march that one should expect during a wedding. But it was something far grander than that.

It was something like those kinds of music you could hear on the TV from some foreign royal courts.

Aiden would have probably enjoyed listening to this kind of music if his life had not been on the brink of going down into following the script of some horror movie scene.

Waves of panic started to crash into Aiden’s body now and in that split second he was momentarily revived with a rush of adrenaline.

In one desperate attempt, he violently tried to break free from the priestess’s grasp.

Twisting and turning, the priestess struggled to control Aiden.

For a fleeting second, Aiden thought that he would be able to escape. But then out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of something that made him stop on his struggle

Lifting his gaze, Aiden watched as the legend walked down the aisle towards him.

The wedding guests stood to their feet and bowed their heads in respect as she walked down the aisle with her black wedding dress.

Black wedding dress???!

Well, she is the Queen of Darkness, after all.

Maybe she also prefers that color in her own wedding motif.

Unlike Aiden’s vision of the walking dead just like what he imagines, the Queen of Darkness looked the opposite. She looked like real flesh and blood.

She walked gracefully down the aisle like a beautiful princess with her long black dress that has a long slit on its side showing her pale white and extremely long legs. Making her looked like as if she was some international supermodel.

Aiden’s breath, as well as his words of protest, were all caught in his throat as he thought to himself how gorgeous the other party was.

She was that kind of that gorgeous that could distract any man in midst of his fight with a zombie priestess.

She was dead gorgeous!

A downright femme fatale!!!

The Queen of Darkness walked down the aisle like a fashion model on a runaway on one of the fashion capitals of the world.

Aiden watched with strange curiosity as the other party flipped her hair to the side and casually observed the curl locks on her sleek silver-like hair

There was a slight hint of annoyance reflecting in her gray eyes. Those eyes were hypnotic.

No.

She was hypnotic!

Aiden finds himself standing at the edge of some unknown metamorphic void and all he could think about is how good she looked with that black wedding dress.

The Queen of Darkness waved a relaxed hand at the priestess and said with an upturned eyebrow.

“You can let him go now..”

The priestess’ grip on Aiden’s wrist loosened but not entirely.

The priestess wasn’t sure if Aiden will going to run or not but the Queen of Darkness told her not to worry

“I have him, he won’t run.”

Aiden blink a few times when he heard that

What does she mean???

‘Is she that confident on her looks that she believed that I will fall head over heels over her at first sight??!’

Well, Aiden was not entirely convinced but the other party’s voice is enough to convince the priestess.

She let go of Aiden’s hand and readjusted her position behind the arc of dead flower.

Aiden immediately thought about his chance to run free. His eyes rested on the distant cemetery gates as he tried to move. But he soon found himself lock on the spot!

He could not move and he had no idea why

The Queen of Darkness approached the archway where Aiden stood at that moment. Aiden could not decide whether his heartbeat was getting faster or slowing down.

The woman before him was eye candy as well as a nightmare. Everything about her was perfect and beautiful, but everything she represents was also dark and it terrified him

She had this face that was beautifully arranged in a way that was not too pretty nor too hard.

Aiden found himself drawn to her eyes. Those two pools of pale gray eyes that glowed in the moonlight like a pool of silver, mesmerizing to the point that it was distracting.

Moving underneath the arch, the Queen of Darkness positioned herself opposite Aiden before she looked at him and raise her right hand to give him a casual wave.

“Aye! Hi there, what’s up?”

She said as she simpered a smile. Upon closer observation, the other party looked delicate and innocent.

She looked like someone who could not even hurt a fly.

Looks can surely be deceiving.

Aiden’s mouth opened slightly as he gaped in amazement and his brain seemed to stop functioning.

‘Did I really want to run away from this girl or make out with her?’

For some reason, the other party rolled her eyes before staring at him as if she had seen a lunatic.

Part of him wanted to pull away, but the other part of him wanted to remain forever in the presence of those eyes

The thick mist hazed around them as Aiden’s senses began to feel more and more dream-like.

The congregation melted away, and all that was left was Aiden and the Queen of Darkness.

Even the priestess’ incoherent muttering dissolved into the ether.

For some reason, there was an unseen force willing Aiden to give in to the other party and just accept his fate.

He wanted to fight the compulsion as he tried to shift uncomfortably from his stuck position

“Can you just stop messing around and let us get over it? I still need to continue my beauty rest, you know?”

An echo crossed Aiden’s mind and he blinked his eyes in bewilderment.

Was I am hearing things?? Or did I just hear her voice inside my head??

The corner of her eyes smiles as if she read what was in Aiden’s mind

“If you can hear me, please let me go.”

“Can you stop whining?? FYI! You are the fool one who proposed under that darn Hanging man Tree and forced me into this marriage. TSS”

Ah crap— I was trapped. Hopelessly trapped.

The priestess cleared her throat loudly and the queen tore her mesmerizing stare away from Aiden.

“Do you take this man to be your husband?”

The priestess asked, just like what any other priest does in any normal wedding ceremony.

The queen of darkness turned her head back to Aiden before exhaling in an exasperated way.

“As if I have a choice?? Tsss.. yeah.. I do… So be it”

The priestess snapped her sermon book shut and announced loudly,

“You may now kiss the groom!”

“Wait! Hold on! That is now how a wedding goes, you should as me first and when I said I do, then that is the only time we go to the kissing scene!”

“And the groom should be the one to kiss the bride!!! Not the other way around!”

But no one pays any heed in Aiden’s protest and his voice was soon engulfed by the noise of the crowd as they burst out into applause.

Aiden turned his head towards his ‘bride’ and stared at her face that was overflowing with attraction.

She leaned closer to Aiden closing the distance between them

Aiden wanted to scream ‘get away from me’ but his body seemed to react the other way. His body seemed to react strongly to her touch, wanting it, needing it.

The Queen of Darkness caught his chin with her fingers and lifted his face upward before leaning downward until he could already feel her warm breath blowing on him

It was like two magnets were placed on his eyes. Aiden unknowingly closed his eyes and waited for the lips of the other party to descend on him and grazed his lips.

“Fool…”

She says as she blows at Aiden’s closed eyes.

Before he knew what had struck him, Aiden found himself slowly falling down the abyss as oblivion took over him.

From this point onward…

He will be soooooo dead!
