Chapter 3: The Handsome Dark Lord
Annalise stared wide-eyed at the man standing right in front of her with a curious look in his dark brown eyes as he observed her from head to toe.
He had long black hair that was currently pulled back in a little bun. His sharp facial features gave him a sinister aura that made goosebumps appear all over Annalise’s body. The man was tall, probably over six feet and his body was built like that of a warrior.
Even though she was kinda scared because of his sudden freaky appearance, she still couldn’t help but realize just how handsome the man was. At first, there’s nothing about him that would pull anyone’s attention toward him but then the very next second, it seemed like he could become the center of everyone’s attention in a room filled with countless handsome men.
She wasn’t sure how she knew it but she could tell that the man was one of the three dark lords, he was one of her husbands and she wasn’t sure what to do with that information.
Though she had been preparing herself in her mind for the moment when she would finally meet her husbands, it seemed like she didn’t prepare enough for it as her mind was completely blank at the moment. She couldn’t do anything else and just stare at the Dark Lord like a total idiot.
Since her eyes refused to move away from the man, she decided to study him some more. The aura that surrounded him screamed power as if he possessed ancient magic which was a ridiculous thought. She had heard that the Dark Lords were powerful, way more powerful than anyone in the entire Seelie Realm. But were they powerful enough to possess ancient magic?
As her eyes traveled down his shoulders and to his abdomen, she realized just how strong he was physically in comparison to her little frame. She finally noticed that he was wearing loose black trousers with a white tunic and black boots.
Her attention returned to his face and she noticed his lips curving from the corner in a barely noticeable smile. Her heart almost skipped a beat at the thought of him watching her checking him out so openly but then he was doing the same thing with her.
She felt her legs starting to quiver as the man suddenly started moving towards her, closing the distance between them. She wanted to move back, to recreate the original distance between the two of them but unfortunately, her body refused to listen. Her legs became numb and while a voice inside her head was telling her to back away, she kept standing there like a statue while staring at the man.
He didn’t stop until he was standing right in front of her, leaving only a little space between them. If she would stretch her arms in front, she was sure that she would be able to touch him with the tip of her fingers.
Annalise was about to relax when the man took another stride closer to her, closing all the little space that was left between them. She had to arch her head back just to look at him. She was astounded when she felt him taking out the silver hairpin that was keeping her hair tied in a loose bun, allowing freedom to her long platinum blue hair.
She decided to change her outfit before leaving the Capital. For her, the Lords didn’t deserve to see her in the wedding dress. Instead of the beautiful white royal wedding gown, she was now wearing a simple light blue dress with only a pair of blue jade earrings and the hairpin that was keeping her hair tied.
