SWNOVELXO Chapter 59: 59
" come with me "
" I don't want to "
" What, why not ? "
Nephthys looked at the emperor and smiled softly
" because I am getting married "
hearing those words Avner woke up from his coma with the biggest smile on his face
" how about tomorrow ? "
" You want to get married tomorrow ? "
" Yes the sooner the better "
" Sure, why not ? "
" How did you guys find each other…."
Miyeon and Amabilis came through the door
" How do you intend to hold a wedding in one day ? "
Dillon found it ridiculous
" Well why wouldn't it be possible ? "
Avner couldn't understand why it wouldn't work
" you need to send invitations "
" I don't have friends and you two are my only family "
" I also don't have friends only my cousins, my aunt and uncle "
the couple specified
" You need a priest "
" Well I know a nun who would do it "
"....."
" Then what about a dress "
" I'll manage to find a white dress "
" what about the location "
" Oh. I want it to be in our garden in front of the tree you used to teach me "
Avner told Nephthys
" sure "
" I give up. looks like we are attending a wedding tomorrow your majesty "
"...."
****
" What's wrong ? "
" I wish I were a healer "
Avner and Nephthys were leaning on the fence of the bridge the same bridge Avner was thrown over twice….they were enjoying the night before their big day
" Why all of a sudden ? "
" I wish I could heal people when needed…."
they both knew he was not talking about other people but about her, Avner wanted to be able to heal her
" I may not be able to help you much right now but here have this "
Avner gave her the small medicine bottle he got from the nun
" What's this ? "
" It's going to ease the pain "
"...."
" I know you are in pain right now….and I know I can't do anything about it but I would still want you to talk to me when you are in pain, I don't want you to suffer alone "
" Sigh, isn't the moon beautiful tonight ? "
" Don't change the subject i'm serious "
" Alright,alright but I can't promise you I will be able to do it right from the beginning, I am not used to it….but I will try "
" drink the medicine now "
" alright "
Nephthys drank it just to give Avner some piece of mind but she did not expect for the medicine to actually take effect
" Tomorrow is our wedding day, I can't believe it "
" Why not ? it was pretty obvious that we were gonna end up together "
" Are you serious right now ? "
" well….yes "
" Everybody thought that you are after my neck "
" What ? no way "
" Do you remember when you helped me see my mother for the first time ? "
" Yes…."
" you blacked out so I decided to carry you back home, while i was carrying you I was worried about what people might have thought and I didn't want them to misunderstand and judge you, so I tried doing it discreetly "
" ok…."
" I almost got caught by two maids and I hid away just to avoid misunderstandings but they were already talking about how we have been gone for a long time and have not come back only the two of us "
" Oh. so there were rumors about us being in a relationship ? "
" Absolutely not. They were worried you killed me and dumped my body somewhere "
"....."
" Shocking right ? "
Avner sarcastically asked
" Why would they think that ? "
Nephthys really didn't understand since she never paid as much attention to anybody except from him
" You tried to drown me TWICE and tried to feed me to the demons several times a week "
" That's not what I was doing though "
" that's exactly what you were doing "
" No it wasn't, I was just trying to help you "
" you sure were working overtime in trying to kill me "
" I am going to throw you over this bridge again and make sure the job is properly done this time if you don't shut up "
Nephthys threatened
" cough,cough I am sorry ma´am "
" Go to sleep, we have a big day tomorrow "
Nephthys was about to leave but was stopped by Avners embrace
" Alright, alright. I am sorry...I really don't mind you almost killing me. I don't mind dying if it's because of you "
" I really wasn't trying to kill you though…."
she really didn't, she always gave her best to help him achieve his dreams
" I know...I'm just joking with you to ease the tension. I'm nervous I can't believe I am finally marrying you…."
" Avner "
" Hm? "
" You know i'm dying "
Avner only tightened his embrace at her words
" I don't have much time left, I might die any day now even tomorrow, are you sure you still want to do this "
" You stop thinking about it, tomorrow is our wedding, tomorrow is a happy day, you don't think about anything else except me "
Nephthys was worried she didn't know how he was going to take it after she'd die
" Nephthys "
" Hm? "
they were still hugging each other, while still embracing her Avner looked down at her and she looked up at him
" Sleep next to me tonight "
" .... "

" So how do you feel ? "
the big day has arrived and the groom was getting ready
" I'm nervous "
Avner was feeling a lot of emotions right now and just didn't know what to do with himself
" I never thought the day would come where I see the stubborn Avner Daeris being anxious "
" tell me about it "
his cousins couldn't help but tease him
" How do I look ? Does everything look alright ? "
" Yes you look fine, now let's go. Remember the last time you made her wait ? "
" Alright let's go "
Avner was trying really hard to calm himself down
***
* sob,sob,sob *
" You two stop crying already "
" sniff, aaaahhh "
the crying just got worst
" I can not believe I lived to see you in a wedding dress, to think that out of the three of us you would be the first to marry…."
Nephthys was getting ready for her big day, she wore a beautiful yet comfortable white dress
" Fine, come here "
she opened her arms brightly as a sign for them to hug her
" waah "
Dillon and Deheeran got even more emotional and just jumped into her arms
" You grew up to be such a wonderful child "
" Its all thanks to you two, thank you….I mean it. Thank you for never giving up on me, I don't know what I would have done without you…."
" sniff,sniff "
their tears couldn't stop
***
" Your bride is coming "
aunt Mira informed the groom Avner then quickly turned to look at his aunt for a one last check
" Aunty, quick. How do I look ? "
