Purple Romance

''I didn't lie to you. I just never got the chance to tell you. I didn't want your decision to be influenced by my status''

''What do you mean?'' she asked glaring at him. He placed his hands on her shoulders and pulled her closer.

''I know you've been wanting to meet the 'king' for a long time. I figured that you might have been desperate to meet me because you wanted to attain my rank but I didn't know the kind of person you were. So, I decided to use a different avatar and start from the bottom and challenge you instead. If you were able to win against me, then I would have handed over the title of the 'king' to you, but who knew that you were such an interesting person? The more I got to know you the more curious I was about you. You were always so serious yet cute. The way you carried yourself in the game and the manner in which you interacted with your friends were all things I could never be able to do. I was drawn to you, so I set out a plan, that would bring you to me''

''So, this was all your plan? Intentionally invading my server, killing the beasts before I got to them, were all just so you could make me pay attention to you? What about the marriage proposal your disciples sent to me?''

''That, I really didn't know about it. I didn't even remember your name that much. The only thing I knew about you was that you were relentless in your pursuit of becoming acquainted with the 'king''

''Then, why did you suddenly propose a marriage union with me after knowing I was the one looking for you?''

''I was surprised at first, but I felt the deity answered my prayers by making us meet after I've been watching you from a distance for a while. You were interesting to watch''

''I've been deceived a lot by you''

''Oh, cheapskate right?''

''Yes, you are a cheapskate''

''I'm sorry, but, why are you so angry with me? Is not like you are also so innocent? You invaded my server and bullied my players too''

''That was because I was frustrated. A newbie just came and everyone started paying attention to him. They even dared to compare him to my hero, 'king', how was I supposed to take that laying down?'' she finished saying and cussed herself. She didn't want to reveal this truth to him.

''Oh, so 'king' is your hero?''

''Not anymore'' she walked back to the dressing mirror.

''Why?'' he walked closer to her.

''Because I just found out that 'king' is a bad bully. He bullied me''

''Then, let him apologise to you by personally taking you to the wedding grounds. Who knows, he might have prepared a special wedding gift for his beloved wife to be''

''Then, I shall forgive him. Get the ladies to come in before I change my mind''

''On it, my lady''

…..

By the time 'dancing in the sky' was ready and came out, there were already a lot of people around. The place had a realistic wedding setting except that, everyone rode on a beast in attendance. They floated in the air as they waited for the ceremony to start off. When they saw her entering the grounds, they started cheering her on.

'My lonely heart beats for you' met her halfway and took hold of her hand. She smiled as she allowed herself to be led to the aisle by him.

In attendance were her lackeys and other players from different servers. Some of them she knew, while others she didn't know, but it didn't matter as they were all there to give them their support.

Standing in front of each other, 'dancing in the sky' couldn't stop blushing as 'my lonely heart beats for you' stared at her. The officiating minister opened the book of the marriages in the game world and recited some statements from it. They were the roles that both couples should adhere to as long as they remained married. After reciting the marriage roles, he now asked for the rings which were brought to him by 'Always freeloading'

''You may now exchange the rings and consummate your marriage with a kiss'' the minister announced.

'My lonely heart beats for you' took the ring and inserted into her ring finger saying, ''this day I, 'my lonely heart beats for you' takes you, 'dancing in the sky' as my wife. I promise to walk the road together with you, dote you and support you in everything you do''

''I, 'dancing in the sky' promise by this ring, to love only you, respect you and allow you to lead the way for me to follow'' she said and inserted the ring into his ring finger.

''You may now kiss the bride''

''Dancing in the sky' closed her eyes as she waited for the kiss that came and went like a breeze. She opened her eyes and saw the smirk on his face. He was pranking her again.

''I now declare that you two are married in the game of Schwars''

''Congratulations'' the audience declared excitedly.

''Bring the wedding dowry I prepared for my wife'''My lonely heart beats for you' said to his disciples.

Dancing in the sky curiously watched direction of his disciples and saw them coming out with the sword of Ales and she turned to 'my lonely heart beats for you'.

''This, isn't this the last sword of the 'king' that is meant for only top level players? Why are you giving this to me?''

''You are my wife and you deserve this and more. Just know that from now onwards, this sword will be your symbol of authority and no one will be able to challenge whatever you say. Everyone will follow your leadership and that includes me, your husband''

''This… then, how about you keep it for me? I don't have any place to keep this''

''Are you sure?''

''Yes, you are my husband, I trust that you will keep it safe than I would. This sword is precious and a lot of people have tried to covet it. you protect it for me''

''My lonely heart hugged her tightly saying, 'I knew you were one of a kind. From today, I will protect you and help you slay all the beast and make you the new 'king''

''Whoa, I am so jealous'' nursing my broken heart said.

''You can only be jealous, our 'dancing in the sky' is such a lucky person to be chosen by the 'king'. We didn't even know he was the 'king' until today'' another player said.

''Let's go. I will take you somewhere only I know'', 'my lonely heart beats for you' said as he took 'dancing in the sky's hand.

''Where are we going?'' she asked as they got unto a beast. He first got on the beast before he stretched forth his hand and helped on to get on it.

''You will see'' The others watched as the beast took the newly wedding couple away.

...

Settling on a high mountain, the beast lowered its feet down and the couple got down and the beast went away.

''Whoa, where is this place?'' she asked as she looked down at the mountain and its surroundings that were like the clouds. It looked smoky and she felt like she could even pluck the stars that hanged on them.

''This is the place I've been preparing since the day you accepted to marry me. I always come here and decorate this place anytime I was free''

''Thank you for preparing this. right, I should prepare something for you too, right?'' she turned to look at him.

''You don't need to do that''

''I have to. I can't allow you to be the only one preparing gifts for me after our marriage. Let me think. What kind of gift should I give to you? how about I give myself to you?''

''Huh?''

''Aye, not that way. What I mean is, I will let you know who I am in real life. Let me tell you, I am a total beauty. I have a lot of pursuers''

''Is it okay to brag this way to your husband after getting married to him just a few minutes ago?''

''Right, it isn't got but, just so you know. I am really beautiful''

''I have no doubts about that''

''So, what do you say? Should we meet and get to know each other?''

''If you want to, I have no problem. But, I hope you don't have a boyfriend in real life?''

''No, I am single. What about you?''

''I am also single''

''Then is alright to meet, right? we are both single and there is no harm in getting to know each other''

''I have a lot of meetings this week, let's make it next week''

''Oh, I don't mind. Just don't get blown away by my beauty'' she bragged and he chuckled. He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her as they watched the fake clouds and stars he made for her while having a little chat.
