The day has finally arrived, preparations for the Baquet had been completed yesterday with my ladies-in-waiting. This morning I was properly dressed and informed of the customs of Guman Kingdom, I can't wait to see what is up their sleeves. In just under a day Lexor has managed to bring back a few servants to work in the palace. Always proficient and timely. Things are beginning to come to light, after the banquet the contruction of the port will begin. There was already a drawn plan for the fieff and the bank that will also be constructed. So far things are going as planned and soon Majesty City will be swarming with lively and loyal citizes. Nothing ever comes eay, I know that there will be times that I will stuggle to keep things flourishing, but I won't give up.
I study myself in the tall mirror, "you look beautiful, Your Majesty!" Rochel clap her hands together excitedly, her eyes sparkled with ethusiasm. I smile at this, what a bubbly person. "Ah by the way, Your Majesty? If you don't mind my curiousity, how old are you?" Gerta asks with a finger on her chin, and head tilted. Rochel and Barena looked just as curious, "it's because Her Majest looks young." she adds. My age? If I add the times I reicarnated I'm definitely really old, mind wise at least. "Eighteen." I tell them. There was no words, as a matter of fact they looked flabbergasted, "eighteen?!" Rochel burst out in utter shock. I glance back at them as my dress was recieving the finishing touch, "yes." I say not going into any more information.
"But her Majesty is so....mature." Gerta says looking at me as if I made it up. I stare at them and then burst into laughter. I haven't laughed like this in such a long time. They were definitely confused and curious, "what do you wish to ask me? Is it how did an eighteen year old girl become Queen?" I ask. Barena glance over at the other young women, "if it is not rude of us to ask, Your Majesty." She says answering for the others. That's right, the past of a tradgic queen like myself. When was the last time I thought about the past? I'm sure it's been a very long time. "I actually bcame the youngest Queen in history." I say. Gerta stepped back a bit after adjusting my waistline of the dress, her part was finished. "How old?" She asks. Normally questioning a Queen like this results to punishment, but I rather not go back to my old self. "Ten." I answer as the other two stepped back, my dressing was complete, my hair was made into a lovely curly doo, and Barena only applied light make-up to my face. "Because the Queen is already beautiful." That was her answer to why.
They stopped questioning me, that made me glad. A past like mine. I wish to forget it and bury it deep down. Lexor knocks and enters, I held my breath for just a second as Castian enters after him. I admit he cleans up nicely. That day when he came back he cleaned up nicely then as well. I was bit nervous, not that I would ever admit such a thing. He walks over after staring a me for a long time, his gaze making me feel incredibly hot. Why wasn't he saying anything? Why do I care? I was originally the villainess. I never cared about men before, I didn't care about my selfish behaviours, or for anyone but myself in that matter. He lifts my hand to his lips and kisses it gently. His eyes not once leaving mine, "My Queen is really beautiful." he says before straightening immediately.
I clear my throat, "thank you and Castian is also dashing today." I say. I took his arm as he offers it, then we made our way to the carriage prepared by a newly hired footman. "To Guman Kingdom." I instructed.
In Guman Kingdom
"Do you think she will come?" Queen Haiza Guman was sitting at her throne chewig her fingernail nervously.Today she will be meeting the former Red Demon Queen of the recently named Golden Dragon Kingdom. She had made clear preparations for this day, if everything goes right today....*shakes head*. That's right. It should be fine. King Lui Guman pats his wife's hand to give her comfort, "be calm sweetie. I'm sure she'll come." He says. Queen Haize takes a deep breath, he's right. Of course he is. As guest starts piling in, her nervousness grew even more than earlier. Could it be fear in meeting Queen Ranessa for the first time? After a long time of staying inside the palace and not throwing any social events Queen Haiza started wondering if she made a mistake.
If it hadn't been for the news she wouldn't even be doing this. But....if the news is true then why would she pass up this chance? "My Queen, be patient. You have wanted this for a while now." King Lui says as he noticed that she was tapping her finger on the throne. It has already been an hour since the Banquet has started. There was still no sign of Queen Ranessa an according to many rumors one could not miss her and her bright red hair.
Arrival approximately 2 hours
Fashionablly late. I learned that it was the best way to draw attention to oneself. And well I'm a sucker for attention, I guess that will never change. Castian steps from the carriage and walks around to my side. The footman opens the door to mys side as Castian steps forward and offers his hand. I reach out, take it, and step dow from the carriage with his help. He tucks my hand through his right arm and we made our way to the Guman Castle entrance. "Smaller than I expected." He says as we drew closer. "State your name." The guards at the entrance prevents us from entering. "You dare stop Queen Ranessa from entering?" Castian asks with a frown. I look at him in surprise, is it me or is he seriously showing sides of himself that even I can't understand?
The guards also frown, "Please leave, there was no mention of someone like you entering the palace." One of the guards state. "So the Red Demon Queen was no invited? Well then should we leave, My Queen?" Castian ask as we turn as if to leave. "Wait, did you say Red Demon Queen?" The other guard asks as we pause and look back. He instantly bows, "I apologise for my partnere here, please go in." He says tossing a glare in the other guards direction. We enter the castle and followed a servant to the throne entrance, the doors open and we enter,. "State your name." The guard standing by the throne entrance says, "former Red Demon Queen, Ranessa and King Castian Romaine." Castian states.
The guard bows instantly, "you may enter." He says as the doors are pushed open. "Arriving Queen Ranessa, former Red Demon Queen and KIng Castian Romaine!" The guard shouts as we enter. At that moment all eyes were on us, this feeling was the best.
