Chapter 411 - Are You Happy?

Unlike the other Royal Weddings that took place in the Wyverndale Palace, Adeline and Theodore's wedding was going to be the most extravagant one to date.

Adeline had insisted to her father that her wedding be held in her mother's garden instead of inside the hall as was the tradition. Adeline wanted to feel close to Auvera on her important life event. And it was also her way of offering respect to her birth mother.

And as demanded by his daughter, Dragomir had put on his best effort to decorate the venue.

Adeline and her maids were now walking along the narrow path of the garden. There were tall elm trees and blue jacaranda trees on either side of the path. Adeline walked on the freshly fallen jacaranda flowers that had paved the path blue.

"Please tell me no one is looking at me yet," Adeline was keeping her head low and asked Hawisa nervously.

Hawisa smiled and calmly replied, "The trees are hiding you as of now. And they have not announced your presence yet. You are yet to meet His Majesty. So, don't worry."

Adeline was going to exchange her vows with Theodore in the large lawn that sat in the middle of her mother's lavish garden. The lawn was also surrounded by the elm trees and jacaranda trees that protected the guests from the harsh midday of summer.

Adeline took a short sigh of relief and slowly raised her head to take a peek at the lawn, which was still at some distance. From the gaps of the trees, she could see that the seats were packed on both sides of the aisle. Even though there were around five hundred guests there, they looked less in comparison to the large lawn.

Before she could take a peek of the altar, Hawisa pointed at the shade that was near the entrance and reminded the Princess, "Adeline, the King is waiting for you there. You need to stay there with His Majesty until it is time to walk down the aisle."

"I got it," Adeline hoped that her father would be able to calm her down.

"Father," Adeline called the King who was facing the other way.

Dragomir instantly turned around to look at his youngest one. And the moment his eyes fell on Adeline, he began to wipe his tears.

"Oh, my baby! I knew you would make the most beautiful bride," he said with a tearful smile and opened his arms for his daughter.

Adeline had hoped that her father would help to calm her nerves but he ended up making her tear up. "Father..." She hugged her father while trying her best to hold her tears from falling down.

Dragomir looked into Adeline's sapphire eyes and asked her, "Are you happy?"

But that triggered Adeline even more and the streams of tears began rolling down her cheeks.

She sniffled and dabbed her cheeks with the back of her palms and replied while crying, "Of course I am happy, father. You are here with me…" she staggeringly inhaled through her mouth and whispered while trying to control herself, "…so I am overjoyed. I feel like the luckiest bride in the whole world."

Dragomir gave a wistful smile and wiped his tears once more. And he gave a kiss on Adeline's forehead and said, "Then I am also happy. And I am the luckiest father in the world because I got the most beautiful, intelligent, and brave daughter like you. I am so proud of you."

Adeline teared up again after hearing her father. She tilted her head and looked at her father with great love and mad respect. She hugged her father again and said, "I love you, father. Thank you for always loving me. And always standing by my side."

Hawisa and Osanna were anxiously looking at the father and daughter duo and were waiting for them to stop crying. The guards had already gestured to them that they just had five minutes until they entered the venue.

Hawisa dared to disturb the father and daughter moment and politely said, "Your Majesty, it is almost time. We need to prepare both of you."

"Sure, sure," Dragomir cleared his throat and finally let go of his daughter.

Hawisa instantly began helping Adeline wipe her tears while Osanna helped the King.

Hawisa was frantically looking at the guard every now and then who was signaling her how many minutes she had. Hawisa did some retouch to Adeline's face and tried her best to make Adeline look as fresh as she could in the limited time she had at hand.

The guard finally raised a single finger in the air and it was time for the bride and her father to make the entrance.

A maid came to Adeline and handed her the bouquet that she was to hold. The beautiful bouquet consisted of a variety of white flowers including Lilly of the valley, Freesia, Myrtle, and Rose.

"Shall we?" Dragomir offered his arm to his daughter. Adeline gave a soft smile and held his arm.

Adeline's heart began to pound as she was now standing at the entrance.

Some of the guests were already turning around and were gazing at her. Adeline tightened her grip on her father's arm and looked down at the aisle that was decorated with fresh petals of white roses. She also noticed that there were tall vases decorated with white peonies, petunias, and orchids beside the foot of seats alongside the aisle.

The guards at the entrance finally announced the presence of the King and the bride. The lawn was filled with soft and melodious music. And all of the guests stood up from their seats and turned their heads to look at the bride.

Each and every one of the guests was mesmerized by the beauty of Adeline. Not a single one of them cared to pass comments or speak while Adeline and Dragomir walked down the aisle. They were all dumbfounded and were too busy gawking their eyes at the fairy that had graced them with her presence.

Those who had never seen Adeline were too eager to see how Adeline looked. They had a hard time believing that someone as incredibly handsome as Theodore would even have a match on Earth.

However, when they lay their eyes on Adeline, they couldn't help but think that the bride and the groom were a match made in Heaven.

After walking halfway down the aisle, Adeline finally got the courage to raise her head and peek at her man.

And when her eyes fell on the raised altar, she felt as if she was directly staring at heaven's gate. She could see the clear blue sky through the huge wedding arch. Wisteria vines were cascading down the arch, and right in front of that arch stood a fallen angel.

"I have never seen something this beautiful in my life," was all that Adeline could think as she gazed at her man on that altar.

Her majestic man was also already gazing at her. Adeline couldn't see it just yet but the rims of Theodore's eyes were already glistening with tears of joy. And his thought also aligned with that of Adeline, "I have never seen someone this beautiful in my life. How did I get so lucky?"

Adeline's unruly heart finally calmed down as though it had finally found its home. Her nervousness, fear, doubt, everything disappeared the moment Theodore gave a loving smile to her.

Upon reaching the end of the long aisle, Dragomir handed over Adeline's hand to Theodore and gave him a hug.

He looked into Theodore's amber eyes and said with a smile, "I'm entrusting my heart to you, Theodore. Keep her happy and safe."

Theodore nodded and smiled, "I will keep her happy and safe.. I promise you."
