Chapter 797 - THE DAY OF THE CEREMONY (10)

\'I don\'t want him to do this for me.\' Lilac thought to herself, but she couldn\'t voice out her words in front of everyone.

She would\'ve never imagine that it would be very terrifying just to witness it, though Jedrek didn\'t utter a word, but who wouldn\'t feel any pain when a hot rod was being pressed against your skin?!

\'It is ceremonial and it was necessary for the king to go through this.\' Keira answered when Lilac asked why they had to do this brutal ritual?

A custom of this realm for the royal mating ceremony.

\'You shouldn\'t stop him. Whatever you feel about it when you watch him go through it, you must not stop him.\' Keira emphasized her words.

However,right before her eyes, Lilac watched Torak pressing the rod once again against Jedrek shoulder.

How many times had he been doing that already? Five times?Six times?

Keira said Torak would do that for eleven times, but how could they perfom such a cruel ritual like this? Lilac didn\'t want this.

Lilac hugged herself, she felt chillsrunning down her spine. She wouldn\'t agree to the ceremony in the first place, if it was her decision to make. She couldn\'tcontinue to watch this. This was way too cruel for her to watch, yet she couldn\'t avert her eyes away from him.

Another strike landed on Jedrek\'s shoulder.

Now the skin around his shoulders had turned red and his veins were noticeably bulgingon his neck.

Lilac bit her lips, her entire body was trembling like a leaf.

"The uniting has been completed!" Torak ended his torture by saying those words and the otherschanted the words after him like before.

Afterward, Torak put down the rod on the metal plate which was filled with coal. He stepped back and let Jedrek walk toward his mate.

Actually, Kace had asked to perform this task. He really wanted to do it. \'Shoving the hot silver onto Jedrek\'s skin would be a satisfying sight to see,\' he said it before with a voice laced with revenge.

He would enjoy it and no one would say otherwise, knowing what Jedrek had done to him. This would be the only opportunity to hurt Jedrek in the name of helping him to complete the ceremony and the big brother couldn\'t hold a grudge against him in this case.

However, Kace gave up the opportunity and chose not to attend the ceremony completely.

Meanwhile, in spite of being tortured in that way, Jedrek could walk toward Lilac steadily, as if he was not the one who had received those chars a few moments ago. He didn\'t even flinch when he raised his injured left arm to wipe Lilac\'s silent tears.

The guardian angel leaned her face into his palm and sobbed softly. She couldn\'t even hug him in fear of hurting him. What if it got worse when she tried to touch him?

Jedrek, then took her hand and together they walked toward the balcony, from where theywould have to greet their people as the next step of the ceremony.

Jedrek led her mate to stand on the large balcony that overlooked the front yard of the castle, where many people had been waiting for them.

Lilac\'s heart almost skipped a beat when she saw countless faces looking up at her from below and the crowd of the gathered people whichoccupied the whole front yard until the main gates and extended onto the streets too.

Lilac took a shaky breath and looked at Jedrek beside her, but the man seemed aloof with the overwhelmed attention that he was receiving from his people when he raised his hand, which held Lilac\'s and spoke loudly:

"Kneel before your king and queen!"

And with that being said, thousands of people fell on to their knees and lowered their heads, even people inside the room behind them, did the same.

It was only Torak and Raine, who didn\'t do it since it was not an obligation for them to do so as they were of the same rank as Jedrek.

However, the sight was not something could please Lilac in anyway, she was not used to have people kneeling before her, and she didn\'t think that she would get used to it in the future.

From afar, the bell rang throughout the city once again, indicating that the ceremony for the queen and the king was accomplished.

When Lilac glanced at Jedrek, she squinted her eyes at the red and inflamed char on his left shoulder. The burns of it formed a symbol. It was as if he had been branded with that symbol.

And the symbol that was seared onto his very shoulder resembled a lilac flower.

==============

Hope sobbed silently when she watched how Kace\'s skin started to heal whileSerefina was crying relentlessly, mourning over the loss of the love of her life.

In the end, Hope crawled over to them and brushed the red hair that covered the witch\'s face aside.

Her cheeks were flushing with a bright color of red, while her eyes turned bloodshot. Her lips were trembling uncontrollably. Dirt and ashes from the flame that she conjured earlier, had stained her face and left her dress tattered.

"Serefina…" Hope cried for her and she felt bad for what the witch was going through now. She was happy for Lilac, she was with her mate now, but she didn\'t want Serefina to be like this.

"I want to be alone…" she spoke in a shaky voice as she tried to free herself from Kace once again. "Please, leave me alone…"

At this moment, the fourth bell rang through the city and Serefina closed her eyes, her body continued trembling. The ceremony had reached the end and there was nothing she could do now.

When the night fell, Jedrek would mark and mate with Lilac to strengthen the bond between them. It was too late for her even if she wanted to change her mind now.

However, the truth was; even if she didn\'t want this to happen or how much she wanted to have Jedrek for herself, she couldn\'t do it.

Serefina couldn\'t break the vow that she made with the moon goddess when she got resurrected.
