Snippet #1795678

Andromache rose and offered King Priam a small gentle smile when he two bowed slightly to her, she had heard wonderful tales of his kindness and love to not only his family but also his people yet at the same time he was feared by his enemies, it must take a truly remarkable king to be able to do so.

“Andromache, Daughter of King Eetion, welcome to Troy!” A cheer went up at once from the watchers. “I can see that my son has been struck speechless by such a beauty so let me be the first to welcome you into our family and our home.”

Feeling her cheeks flash a wave of heat she smiled once more and her eyes quickly darted towards Hectors who finally began to make a move towards her “I thank you for your kind words you majesty.” When Priam embraced her she was momentarily shocked, she felt so welcomed and loved and knew from that very moment that she would love him as a father. However when Priam took a step backwards her happiness grew upon seeing Hector dash towards her, his strong arms envelope around her slender frame, in all her years she couldn’t ever remember feeling as safe as she did in that moment in Hectors arms.

The kiss came quickly, accompanied by the roar of the crowd; she felt her knees buckle slightly and was thankful that Hectors arms were still around her, supporting her, above the roar of the crowd she heard the faint shout of the king “Troy, I give you Prince Hector and Princess Andromache!”

Pulling apart from the kiss she smiled brightly looking into her beloveds eyes before casting a loving glance over her new people. With her previous nervousness and home sickness from her mind she enjoyed letting Hector introduce her to the rest of the royal family.

They were now man and wife, well in their eyes, all that was left was the small ceremony later this afternoon followed a glorious party in their honour.
