Chapter 81 - 81 - The Vow

"My love, I promise I will do everything to be worthy of your love. I will love you and our son with all my heart and soul. I promise to make you happy and never break your trust. To be forever faithful to you through all the years. Not only for this moment, not for an hour or a day, I promise to hold your hand and never let it go, I promise to love you for all eternity." Jayden uttered.

My happiness was so overwhelming that I couldn't stop crying and my heart was dancing and thumping loudly for joy.

He then put the ring on my finger and kissed it. He was smiling but tears were also flowing from his eyes.

Then it was my turn to say my vow to him. I couldn't say a word for a moment. I felt like there was something in my throat, not because I was in doubt but because I was so happy from the words he said. He was staring at me, waiting for the words that I have to say.

I took a deep breath and smiled at him. Then I touched his face, brushing my hand to his cheek.

"My love. I've been dreaming of the day that I call you, husband. I will devote myself to you and I vow to love you without conditions or reservations. I give you my heart, to cherish and to hold. I take your hand with mine, without letting it go as we start our journey to forever. I promise to share all the joy and the sadness, your sorrows and your fears, your success and your failures. I vow to love you unconditionally, today and for eternity, all of me will always be yours." 

We were both crying after exchanging our vows. Our hands tremble when I put the ring on his finger. Then grandpa raised the sword in his hand, we kneeled again and bowed.

Grandpa walked towards us, touched Jayden's shoulders with the sword and bestowed his title.

"I, the king of Flousia, dubbed Jayden Richards, husband to Princess Margaret, as a new member of the royal family and prince of Flousia. With all the people present and God as the witness to your undying love to each other, and with the power vested in me, as the king of Flousia, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. Always trust your heart and forever lean on each other. Prince Jayden, you can now kiss your wife." 

When grandpa finished the ceremony, I jumped into my husband's arms and kissed him. Everyone was in awe and giggled since he was supposed to kiss me not the other way around.

I blushed when I realized what I did, I pulled my face away from his but he wrapped his one arm around my waist while the other caressed face. He held my chin up and leaned closer to me, pressing his lips gently to my forehead, then to both of my cheeks before kissing me on the lips.

It was sweet and gentle, but I could feel his lips trembling and I tasted something salty, it was his tears. He was crying. I couldn't believe that he was so emotional and could cry in front of many people.

After the kiss, I wiped the tears in his eyes and smiled.

"My love, my wife. Finally!" He shouted then held me on my waist and carried me, circling me around the hall.

"Jayden!" I squealed because of the happiness I felt.

The people present were cheering and clapping as they witnessed our wedding. Caden ran into us crying from happiness. Jayden carried him, wiping his tears.

"Hey don't cry. Daddy will take care of you and mommy from now on. I love you, son." He whispered, kissing him on the forehead.

"I'm happy daddy, mommy. Congratulations! I love you both!" He said, sobbing.

I smiled, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Then Jayden leaned forward again to give me a quick kiss.

The rest of the people moved to the party hall where we would celebrate. We took some photos first with our family and friends before going there.

"Let's welcome the newlyweds, Prince Jayden and Princess Margaret!" The host announced as we walked inside the hall.

We were greeted by politicians and royalties around the world as well businessmen and celebrities.

When we sat down at our table, Jayden whispered.

"My lips were trembling from smiling. It's getting numb."

I giggled. "Me too." Then we both laugh.

The rest of the evening went smoothly. Before the party ends, we would have to answer some questions from the media.

I'm really not in the mood to do the interview but grandpa said it's better to do it now than leave the people hanging.

"We will start accepting questions from the media or anyone in the audience." The host started.

One reporter was called. "Princess Margaret, you went missing for three years and came back with a son. Are you sure Prince Jayden that he is yours?"

I know that was the question everyone wanted to ask. No one knows that I was pregnant back then, except for Jayden, my family, my friends, the school teachers and the principal of Golden Oak.

Jayden held my hand and smiled at me. He took the microphone to answer the question.

"When Margaret left three years ago, she was already four months pregnant with my son." He started. I looked around and I could see the shocked faces from the people inside.

"If you want proof, we could show it to you. But as our son is involved in this matter, we humbly ask you to not question his existence. He is my son. When we first came here to Flousia, Margaret was already pregnant. There's no need to announce it to the world back then but there's no doubt that he is mine. Well, you could see the resemblance, right?" He said while looking at Caden. 

People laughed and agreed when they saw that Caden really looks exactly like his father.

Then another reporter raised his hand.
