Hellbound With You novel Chapter 905

Chapter 905 Bride-to-be

The throne room was quiet. All eyes swung over and were fully trained on no one else but Alicia the moment they entered through the doors. But the atmosphere was not heavy.

Alicia had already sensed this since the moment they had arrived at the castle and most especially as they passed through the corridors. The vampires had just dropped their gazes and gave respective bows the moment they saw them. At first, Alicia thought that their reactions were only because of seeing their prince, Ezekiel after a long time. But right now, she felt like that it was not the case anymore. Everyone seemed to be giving her the same respect they were giving to Ezekiel!

It was just so unnerving and unexpected. She had in fact, readied herself to be the target of countless stares that were full of hatred and resentment. So for her to be receiving such looks that were full of respect and adoration as though they were looking at their own prince, was truly shocking to her.

And now, not only the common vampires acted that way but also everyone else who was in attendance in the throne hall, the entire Reign family and even the highest officials. Alicia felt like they were looking up to her. As if she was not just a woman their prince was going to marry.

She could not help but remember the prophetess' reaction last night as well when she had laid eyes on her. Alicia had felt that there was something off with the way the priestess had looked at her. As though there were something else that only she did not know about. Think as she might, she could not figure what it was though. And she did not mention anything about it either. But now, she was genuinely curious as to why she was getting this unexpected treatment.

She also wondered if this was because that they did not know she was a former witch and a witch queen at that. But still…

"Meet my bride-to-be, Alicia." Ezekiel's voice echoed out authoritatively and everyone naturally came forward to greet her. All of them were beyond respectful and even looked kind of amazed, as though they were looking at and being in the presence of someone great.

Somehow, as time passed by, Alicia felt that she was being treated like this not only because she was going to be Ezekiel's wife but there was a deeper and more important reasoning to it all. However, what on earth could the reason be? She still could not figure it out.

The talks that went on were formal and quick. The officials mainly congratulated them. The king and queen and the princesses expressed their greetings and blessings to the couple.

After that, Ezekiel had gone on to mention about the wedding. As planned, the both of them agreed with the already existing arrangement for the grand wedding and were fine with it being so fancy.

Later, the queen had asked Zeke to bring Alicia to the room where her wedding dress was waiting for her. They had to make sure she at least tries it out once to see if it was a perfect fit for her.
