The kingdom was filled with n.o.bles and dukes, marques. They all came to attend the wedding ceremony.

Reynolds and Alfonso were receiving congratulations and blessings from all these n.o.bles.

After finding the right moment, Reynolds said in a low voice, " Alfonso! How are the preparations?"

Alfonso said in a low voice, " Everything is under control, father! We have stationed tens of thousand of soldiers all over the kingdom. We have appointed two guards at every door. We even appointed guards near the windows just in case. It's the tight and most impenetrable defence you could ever imagine. Don't worry father. Everything is under control."

Reynolds asked, " Are these guards trustworthy? I don't want them to be like those 30 peoples."

Alfonso said, " They are absolutely trustworthy. There is no doubt about it. I carefully monitored everything."

Reynolds said, " Just be on your guard. And be careful at each and every moment. Do you understand?"

Alfonso said, " Yes father!"

"Good." , said Reynolds and continued, " By the way, where is that bas*ard Edward? This is such an important moment and he is no where to be found?"

Alfonso said, " I don't know father! I didn't see him since morning!"

At this time father of the Church came.

He said, " Shall we begin the ceremony, your majesty?"

Reynolds said, " Yes. Of course!"

Reynolds then asked a maid, " Bring princess Kiera here!"

That maid said, " Yes, Your Majesty!"

Maid left and came back with Kiera who wore a beautiful wedding dress. It was white in colour which suited Kiera's absolute beauty. All the n.o.bles who saw Kiera had only one word that came out of their mouth

"Beautiful!"

Kiera walked slowly and stood in front of Alfonso. Alfonso and Kiera stood in front of each other. The church father stood in between them slightly back.

Father said, " Ladies and gentlemen! Today is one of the beautiful moment in the history of Kingdom of Bloom. Today we are here to bless a couple with all our hearts. So by believing the almighty G.o.d as the witness I ask prince Alfonso. Do you agree princess Kiera to be your wife?"

Alfonso smiled and said, " Yes. I do."

Father looked at Kiera and asked, " Princess Kiera! By believing the almighty G.o.d as the witness do you agree Prince Alfonso as your husband?"

Kiera looked at Alfonso for a moment. Before she could say anything, a voice came from behind,

"STOP THIS MARRIAGE!!!"

Everyone were stunned. For a moment both Reynolds and Alfonso's heart skipped a bit! This is exactly what they never wanted to happen. They all looked at the direction of the voice and were stunned to see the owner of that voice!

Reynolds said in disbelief, " EDWARD???"

Kiera smiled inwardly. She was waiting for this moment. Because she knew that it was Rick who was in Edward's disguise.

Edward said in anger, " Reynolds! You bas*ard! You d*mn cheater! I want justice!"

Reynolds was stunned! He didn't expect this outcome at all.

He said, " Reynolds! I think you already know that today is the marriage ceremony right? As a supreme General, you didn't come early in the morning! Now you show up and talking nonsense. What cheater? What justice? What the h.e.l.l do you want?"

Edward said, " You don't know what I want? You really don't know? Stop pretending to be an innocent now!"

Reynolds and Alfonso were stunned. They know that Edward was on their side. But they don't understand why he is behaving like this all of the sudden.

Reynolds asked, " I don't know what you are talking about?"

Edward smiled loudly. He said, " Wow! I should have known that this would happen. You made me to do all the dirty work. You promised me a reward. But now you are turning your back on me. Do you take me for some use and throw tissue paper. You promised me something for doing all your dirty work. Now don't go and show your back on me. Just stand on your word. Or else don't blame me for revealing all your plots!"

Both Reynolds and Alfonso were scared! They know what plot they have bee plotting. Edward was part of it too. But they never promised any reward. They don't know what was going on.

Reynolds said, " Guards! Arrest him! He is talking nonsense! I'll get to you once this marriage ceremony is over."

Edward clapped his hands and said, " Shameless bas*ard! Now you are trying to silence me? Well then you broke your promise. Now I'll reveal everything that you have done."

Reynolds started to loose his mind. He plotted such a flawless plan. Everything was going on perfectly.But he never expected that something like this would happen at a critical moment.

He shouted in anxiety, " Guards! Kill him! Kill him immediately!"

Guards came hurriedly. They raised their swords and intended to kill Edward. But they started to feel dizzy all of a sudden. They dropped their weapons and fell on the ground.

A person in mid 30s came forward and said, " n.o.body kills anyone! I'll deal with this matter. So please calm down."

Reynolds looked at that man and asked, " Who are you? What all this has to do with you?"

That man said, " My name is Jimmy! I'm Princess Kiera's bodyguard!"

Everyone in the room were stunned.

Reynolds asked, " A bodyguard? Since when did princess Kiera had a bodyguard?"

Jimmy said, " When former King sent princess Kiera to the Weissan town, I was sent by the king to protect princess Kiera from shadow. Since then I have been protecting her. But princess Kiera herself doesn't know this. I was asked to keep it a secret."

Everyone in the room were stunned. They looked at Kiera who has the similar expression as them. They thought that even she was surprised. But they don't know that she was laughing loudly in her heart.

Alfonso asked, " Protect from who?"

Jimmy said, " It's none of your business! "

Reynolds shouted, " How dare you? Do you know who is he? He is the next king of the Bloom Kingdom?"

Before Jimmy could say anything, Edward laughed loudly. Everyone looked at him. They were curious what he would say this time.

Edward said furiously, " You bas*ard! you really were betraying me. You said that you would make me the new king of Bloom Kingdom after we killed the old king! And now you are saying that your son is the next king?"

"WHAT?" , said everyone in the room in unison! All of them stood up in shock! This truth really blew their minds.
