I stared at my reflection in the mirror.

I couldn't believe that the duplicate in front of me is... Me.

I'm so different, in a good way.

I looked down at my white colored gown. Something you don't wear everyday.

"Y/n, will you stop staring at yourself? It's starting you know." Hwaryun leaned against the door, crossing her arms. "Look at you. You're shaking."

"I'm nervous." I admitted.

"Who isn't?" She chuckled. "Come on. Your dad's waiting."

When I arrived by the front doubles, he was standing there.

"Are you ready?" He asked, taking my hand in his.

"Ready as I'll ever be." I said, taking a deep breath.

Hwaryun opened the doors, letting the grand place come into my view.

My father walked me down the isle. The blue haired man waited for me at the end, a surprised, but gentle smile plastered on his face.

My father gave my hand to Khun, "take good care if her. You're the only exception. Don't make me regret it." He said, turning away and sitting beside Khun Edahn.

As the priest talked, I could only stare at khun as he does the same to me.

"You may now, kiss the bride." He finally said.

Khun leaned in, his hand caressing my cheek.

Our lips finally connected as cheers aroused from the guests.

The party went well. With me greeting the guests with handshakes, and also Khun, we enjoyed the moment till it ended.

My father had left on an urgent business notice. Not like he hasn't done the same before during my birthday, so I let is slide past me.

"Are you hungry?" Khun asked, peering st me.

I sighed, leaning against the chair. "Hell no."

He only chuckled boyishly, looking at everyone in the room. "I never thought this would happen someday."

"Me neither but here we are."

"Y/n, I haven't seen you since you were a kid, but here you are now." Khun Edhan strikes up a conversation with me.

I only nodded. It was still awkward, but after what I had seen in the hidden floor...

Lol

I laughed in a polite manner.

Khun Edhan continued talking. "I thought you'd grow us somewhat like your father. Maybe strike up a war or two here and there. But instead you're marrying my rebellious son."

"Father." Khun sighed. "No."

"What do you mean 'no'? You stole things from the storage room!"

"I didn't think you'd notice."

"You're insane!"

"Maybe I take a lot after you."

I smacked the back of their heads. "That's enough."

"Y/n."

I look up, meeting silver eyes that only belongs to Cas. Strangely, he wore his armour. Maybe he's in charge of patrol?

He smiled at us both, congratulating us.

"I had my suspicions." Cas laughed.

His smile suddenly turned grim. "I'm sorry to end your fun, y/n..." Cas sighed.

"But your father received a declaration of war from the Jigu family in the name of Jahad."

"What..?" I breathed, barely managing to form the words. Why now of all times?

Because we'd be preoccupied by the party to prepare properly? If so, that is quite smart of them.

Khun also only managed to stare at him unblinking.

Cas apologized once again, reminding us that it's better if we get prepared fir the storm that's about to hit us.

We let the maids and butlers clean up the after mess as everyone left to their homes, uninformed that a war was about to happen.

Khun and I walked back to our rooms, savouring whatever peaceful moment we have left.

know who'll make it out alive
