Destined

King & Queen

It had been a number of weeks since the attack on the castle and the death of the king and Baekhyun's father, almost instantly renovations on the castle begun repairing everything that been destroyed after the attack. Many people expected the royal family to step forward and address them but they understood when no-one did, they were mourning with them and deserved some time alone. Some people spread around the rumour that the crowned prince wasn't going to be able to handle the pressure of ruling the planet and many people speculated that it would be Daehyun rising to the throne, however the Queen was quite quick to shut those rumours down. 

Just as everyone in the kingdom was beginning to get worried over the princes, Chanyeol and Baekhyun finally appeared in public outside the castle walls. They had arrived at a children's orphanage and had donated a generous amount to the children and their caretakers, the media blew up as more photos of the prince and his mate hit the newspapers. The entire planet went into uproar wondering why they had come out of the castle when such a large threat had been made on their lives there, it wasn't until Prince Chanyeol stood up in front of the court with his mate by his side smiling happily that they had gotten their answer. 

"A couple months ago I lost my father, the king and my beloved mate lost the last remaining blood related family member to him. During our time away from the public we have had the opportunity to grow and develop on ourselves, come up with new ideas for our kingdom and of course mourn the loss of our dead family members. Baekhyun and I would like to take a moment to apologise for our disappearance when our kingdom reached out to mourn with us, my mate has suffered quite a lot of heartbreak in his life and this in turn was my first loss. We thought it best to avoid the spotlight during this time which in turn has allowed us to become stronger and more capable of standing before you all today and announcing that my coronation will be held at the end of the week." 

Those were the words spoken by the Alpha as he turned and looked into the crowd of reporters and cameras, whispers took to the air and the following day the entire planet had heard the news. People praised their future king and his mate for being so strong and continuing to remain by their side even if they had stepped out of the spotlight for a couple months, congratulations for the princes coronation were sent into the castle and Chanyeol and Baekhyun made an effort to read every single letter. 

That is how they had gotten to where they were right now, inside the church walls with important families seated in the pews. Chanyeol's mother stood right next to the priest, having been the sole royal monarch left she would have to be the one to bare them their markings. Baekhyun found himself trembling even more than on his wedding day, except today Chanyeol would be leading him down the aisle to their future. 

If you would have asked Baekhyun years ago, what he thought of the selection he would have shrugged his shoulders and told you that it was something that his father had asked him to be apart of. Joonwoo had half-expected his son to turn down the offer but at the very least Baekhyun figured that he may as well make some friends out of the other participates, if you would have told him that years later we would be mated to the planet's king he would have laughed hard into your face. 

And yet, all of that was different now. 

He sent Chanyeol a loving gaze as the Alpha gently looped Baekhyun's hand through his, they offered each other a small nod of confidence before gesturing to the servants to open the doors. Instantly everyone's eyes had fallen onto them, the omega let out a low gasp as he stared at the beautifully decorated church. White lilies were draped all around the room signalling the presence of their fallen family members, Baekhyun had more loved ones in the grave then Chanyeol but being together during that time made things a lot easier for them. The white lily was actually the flower his mother loved and Baekhyun almost cried when he turned to look at the Queen who was already giving him a knowing grin.
