The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 127

” Don’t count me in your side for this marriage, please”

Alex was surprised to see Emmy openly despising Rasber for his past deeds. After Emmy woke up, she behaved normal but now some mischievousness was gleaming in her eyes and he thought it strange that Emmy was actually glaring at him instead of Rasber.

Gabriella also turned to face Emmy as she thought the latter won’t oppose this idea without any important reasons. It was at this time, Emmy who was standing aloof also returned Gabriella a wink.

” Child, I can also feel that he is true to my disciple. Let them get married, after all now there is another life which is counting on them.”

Rasber was looking at Gabriella with mixed feelings, from the past weeks, he knew that his woman had some special feelings towards this goddaughter of the dark clan. Even though they hadn’t met before, she had all praises for Emmy. Strange.. it was particularly peculiar but he didn’t ask much about it. However, right now, he felt scared. The expression of his beloved’s face was in support of Emmy and subconsciously Rasber looked at Alex who was also looking dumbfounded.

Emmy took Gabriella’s hands and walked towards the centre where others were standing.

” Elder, I said that don’t count me in the groom’s side. I am the goddaughter of the great Esbertrazian clan and Gabriella here is like my sister…. no, she is my sister. So accordingly, I will be on the bride’s side.”

Haaa, this naughty one … Rasber and Alex both smiled at each other. Just as Rasber wanted to hold his woman, Emmy pulled Gabriella towards her side, separating the love birds.

” Ho..Ho… have little patience and come with proper betrothal gifts and be sincere in proposing my sister. If my sister is happy with your proposal and your gifts, I will give you your bride tonight.”

Seeing the playful side of Emmy, Alex and the elders were happy whereas Rasber was sweating it out. He looked at his beloved for help but was disappointed as she winked at him.

” Okay, dear sister… I will make a huge surprise for your sister that after seeing my gift she will run to my embrace quickly.”

Emmy wanted Rasber to take initiatives to keep her sister happy so she added a few special arrangements for her cunning brother-in-law.

As for Alex, he was also pushed out of the quarters’ area as he was on groom’s side. By evening, all of their other friends also returned.

The men were shocked to see Rasber getting along with them quite well. Meanwhile, the women were surprised to find out that Gabriella got pregnant with Rasber’s child and all this happened due to their superficial plan.

” It feels so unreal!”

Juliet exclaimed after watching Gabriella’s small tummy. Not only her but the other three were also surprised to see such a change in Rasber.

” So what about the men dying with just one touch and all rumours?” Eliza asked the rest curiously to which Gabriella laughed out loud. After wiping the tears of laughing hard, she explained that it was because he had poisoned a few men who tried to take advantage of her on various occasions. What she longed for was love which Rasber gave her completely and then in front of his heartfelt care, Gabriella lost herself lowering her guards around him but getting pregnant was totally her idea.

” You took the risk and sacrificed your body first. What if he didn’t appreciate your kind gesture as he himself still doesn’t know that he was under the drug effect?”

Janet and Kiara had their mouths opened widely hearing Emmy questioning Gabriella. They thought Gabriella must have drugged Rasber for making him obedient but with Emmy’s tone of asking, it was sure that something else was the real situation.

” Sharp!.. Emmy, I am shocked to see how your brain works. Yes, what you guessed is correct he was under the influence of a particular drug but of which I have yet to find out. By analysing his blood samples and testing the symptoms, this type of drugs made a person delirious but also would give their full obedience to one person. To crack the drug effect, the only thing which was available to be administered was the aphrodisiac and I did administer it to him in thrice the usual quantity a person takes…”

Emmy smiled and interrupted Gabriella, ” But you didn’t have to sacrifice yourself for him. you had already chained him up, then how did he get freed after he took your counter drug?”

Seeing Emmy sly eyes, Gabriella’s ears and cheeks were red in colour, she was sitting there and blushing to a high degree.

” That…. I got delirious looking at his body…and wanted to try it. Sooooo….”

” Look, the groom is here…”

Suddenly the maid rushed inside and conveyed the message interrupting the exotic story which the friends were waiting to hear.

” Girls, come, let us grill the groom before he can take away the bride.”

Just as Emmy and friends were going out to stop Rasber from entering the bridal chamber, Gabriella softly called out to Emmy.

” Hey, please don’t be rash with him, he is your brother-in-law now.”

The women left Gabriella who was blushing hard. On her face, now lit up with happiness, finally, she had friends and family now…moreover, she got a sister too and soon her own baby.

The bride’s side was dressed in red colour whereas the groom’s side party was wearing yellow coloured dresses. The groom Rasber was looking extraordinarily eye-catching and except for Kiara, all the other four women felt mesmerised seeing the groom.

” Hey, cut it out. It was his day that is why we decided not to be in our best form. However, don’t you think it is a bit rude to drool over a guy right in front of your respective partners?”

Although it was Leon who was complaining, Jordan, Mike and Alex also had the same thing going in their mind. Since it was a happy occasion, all the men thought of letting it go and moved forward to welcome the bride but were stopped by the girl gang.

” To fetch your bride, first you must go through a series of challenges. Well, you have to basically do five things demanded by us and if you complete it in an appreciable manner, the chamber will be opened and you can have your bride. You can seek help from your entourage also.”

Rasber agreed eagerly and Emmy looked at Janet wickedly. The first demand was simple and it was raised by Kiara. Rasber had to finish up three bottles of wine in one go and he finished it in a jiffy. Elina made him run 50 rounds around the whole bridal courtyard which was a piece of cake for Rasber.

The men were gloating on how easy were the tasks given by these bridesmaids. The third task was to drink 10 glasses of freshly prepared special tea again and this time Rasber found it hard after drinking the sixth cup. He looked at Emmy who was discussing something with Janet whereas Juliet who passed him the task had a wicked expression on her face.

Rasber turned to look at Alex and signalled with his eyes to check on Emmy. The men found it suspicious as from the starting itself Emmy and Janet were hiding something. Somehow, Rasber finished the tenth cup and stood up ready to receive the next task by Janet.

Janet looked at Emmy and after receiving her signal, she brought out a platter of different puddings.

” Finish it up.”

Rasber looked at Janet and suddenly his stomach churned. He sniffed the food and made his gang taste a bit of the food to check whether it was okay. On getting their safe signal, he sat on the table and started chugging in the various delicacies.

After finishing the whole platter, Rasber stood up like a proud peacock and stood before Emmy.

” Sister-in-law, I have completed all the tasks perfectly and now please tell me your demand.”

” Just wait.”

Till now the men were oblivious to the other party’s plans but actually, even the bridesmaids’ group members didn’t know what Emmy had planned. They just gave instructions to Rasber as per Emmy’s idea.

Just as Rasber wanted to tease the group for their childish tasks, his throat started burning up and he started coughing. After a series of coughs, he started vomiting it out and Alex rushed to support him whereas Mike and Jordan stood there dumbstruck.

This Emmy had to be serious, she made the groom so miserable just by a few tasks. Right now, watching Rasber throwing up even the last bit of food in his stomach, Leon and Houlson looked at each other. Thank god, they had married before or else, Emmy might also have dealt with them like this.

Hearing the commotion outside, Gabriella rushed outside and she was shocked to see Rasber in such a poor state. She looked at Emmy who stood there without an ounce of sympathy. Alex was constantly rubbing Rasber’s back and now the latter had puked even the last juices inside him. At last, he could not hold it up and fainted on spot.

Gabriella rushed beside him and took his pulse. She was shocked to her core and then with a grave expression, looked at Emmy.

” How could you do this to him ?”
