Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 288: Anthony Becoming King 

Jennifer's POV:

I felt as though the next few days passed by very quickly.I had been so busy preparing for the wedding that I didn't even realize that the big day was just around the corner.

When I looked at the calendar and found out that tomorrow was the wedding day, I heaved a long sigh of relief.

Finally, I was going to marry Anthony.

The thought of becoming a queen now seemed unreal toas if it was only yesterday that I was still a clueless little girl.

But on the whole, I was more excited than nervous.

I tried my best to calm down and continue the preparations.

After dinner, I ordered the maid, "Bringmy dress.I'd like to try it on."

Soon, they brought the blue fishtail dress laced with diamonds and placed it before me.I was captivated by its craftsmanship and eye-catching detail.I went into the changing room to put on the dress and walked to a mirror.

"Oh my God! Jennifer, you look so beautiful!"

I heard Anthony's voice from behind and I turned around to find him staring atin a daze.

"I don't have the words to describe just how lovely you look in that dress, Jennifer." I reached out to hold Anthony's hand.

"Honey, I still can't believe that we're getting married. I feel like I am in a dream."

"Well, your dream is about to ctrue because we are definitely getting married. Jennifer, I swear I will make you the happiest she-wolf in the world."

Anthony pulledinto his arms.

I closed my eyes with satisfaction and said, "I am lucky to have you, Anthony..."

I didn't know how to express my excitement at the moment.

Although I had a lot to say, I didn't know where to start.

"I love you, Jennifer." Anthony kissed my forehead and caressed my belly.

"Soon, we're going to beca family." I snuggled up in Anthony's arms and enjoyed the heartwarming moment.

Then I carefully looked at myself in the mirror.

After all, I had to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the dress.

I had to practice walking in such a long dress because I didn't want to make a fool out of myself in public.

Suddenly, my phone started vibrating.

I took it out of my bag and found that Helen was calling me.

"Jennifer, tomorrow's the big day! I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!"

There was undisguised joy in Helen's tone.

"Jennifer, Daniel and I have arrived at the Osman Kingdom.Mr.Jones has arranged a presidential suite for us.Please, extend my gratitude to him."

"You're welcome.It's an honor to have you here at our wedding ceremony," I answered with a smile.

"Helen, the both of you should get srest.I want to see you at the royal palace first thing tomorrow morning."

"Of course.I'll be there.I'll see you tomorrow, Jennifer” Helen replied happily.

"I'm looking forward to attending your wedding.You're going to be the most beautiful queen."

Helen's words of praise madefeel a little shy, so I said, "Oh, stop it! You're being too kind! Just get srest and I'll see you tomorrow."

"Good night, Jennifer."

Helen hung up the phone right after.

As I looked at the screen of my phone, I felt both happy and sad.

I was happy because I was going to marry Anthony, but I was sad because Skylar and Jerwere not going to be at the wedding.

"Anthony, I can't help but feel sad every tI think about my brother and Skylar not being able to attend my wedding," I sighed in exasperation.

Anthony smiled and said, "Jennifer, your brother and Skylar are having a good ton Rube Island.You should be happy for them, and they will also be happy for you."

When I realized that Anthony was right, I smiled at him.

"Anthony, will your mother be able to attend the wedding?"

After all, it had only been a few days since she got injured.

Although she was bound by her noble identity to be present at the wedding of the new king, I couldn't help but feel worried about her.

I didn't want to force her to attend the wedding, especially if she wasn't feeling well.

Besides, I knew that she only cared about our happiness.

"Don't worry, Jennifer.Thanks to the healing magic, my mother is getting better day by day.She should be all right to attend the wedding.Besides, I've asked my men to double the security at the royal palace.Roy and his wizard friends will be there to keep a lookout for Larry at the wedding.If that bastard tries to make trouble, we'll catch him!"

Anthony was always two steps ahead of his enemies.

I was relieved to be at the mercy of someone as competent as him.

Anthony heldin his arms and glanced at his watch.

"Now, I need you to go to bed early tonight.Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day." I nodded at Anthony.

I lifted the hemline of my dress and spun on my heels in front of the mirror one more tbefore I took it off and asked the maid to put it away Safely.

Lying in the bed, Anthony and I hugged each other and closed our eyes.

I slept soundly and woke up in the early hours of the next day.

When I opened my eyes, Anthony was no longer in bed.I quickly called in the maid and asked, "Where is Anthony?"

"Mr.Jones is preparing for the coronation ceremony in advance.You were sleeping soundly, so he asked us not to wake you up."

The maid cover with a smile to comb my hair.

"Miss Smith, don't worry.It's still early."

I was moved by Anthony's thoughtfulness.

The maid coiled my long hair with a pearl hairpin and put a tiara on my head.

Before long, I wore my wedding dress with the help of several maids and got ready to go to the venue.

The trail of my dress was so long that two maids had to lift the hemline for me, so I wouldn't trip and fall down.

As such, even though I wanted to see Anthony quickly, I had no choice but to walk slowly.

"Anthony!"

When I cdown the stairs, I saw Anthony standing next to the wedding car in a white suit.

My eyes lit up as I called out to him.

The man standing there and looking atfrom afar was so handsand charming that he deserved to be the focus of the crowd.

Anthony smiled atand said, "You're here, my dear queen."

He opened the door of the convertible wedding car and gestured atwith his hand to get in.

With every step I took forward, my heart kept beating faster and faster.

Unfortunately, I was too shy to say anything back to him in front of everyone.I simply responded with a smile.

Anthony took my hand and ledto the back seat.

Then, he walked all over to the other side and said to the driver, "Let's go.It's almost time."

Our car drove slowly as it led a series of cars behind it.

The motorcade left the royal palace first and drove around the capital square.

Anthony and I sat in the car and waved at the public who had gathered to see us with great enthusiasm.

When we arrived at the hall of the royal palace, the sound of people cheering was so loud we could hardly hear each other.

The most anticipated moment of my life was finally here.I looked at Anthony with excitement as I walked into the royal hall with him, hand in hand.

The elders and Elizabeth were sitting at the table in the hall.

Anthony and I walked up to her and bowed down to show our respect.

She quickly pulled us up.

"I'm so happy that this day has finally arrived!"

Elizabeth was so excited that her face turned red.

She looked at the elder in charge of presiding the ceremony and declared, "Let the coronation ceremony begin!"

The elder presented the crown to Elizabeth on a fluffy cushion.

Elizabeth stood up from her seat and raised the crown in the air.

The crown was a symbol of suprauthority and honor.

Anthony knelt on one knee and lowered his head down so Elizabeth could put the crown on his head.

At the stime, Elder Primo, who was presiding over the coronation ceremony, announced loudly, "I now present to you the new king of the Osman Kingdom! All hail, King Anthony!"

Anthony got up to his feet slowly and stood before his subjects.

"Long live King Anthony! Hooray! Hooray!"

The elders bowed to show their respect to Anthony.

"Thank you for your support, everyone.I will do everything in my power to ensure the safety of my people and our country."

Anthony looked around the hall solemnly before adding, "In celebration of my coronation, I'm declaring the next three days to be a public holiday so our citizens can celebrate together!"

I stood beside Anthony and looked at this face with sheer excitement.I couldn't wait to see what kind of a king he would become.

At long last, Anthony becthe king of the Osman kingdom.
