Elen was woken up by her maids. She didn't want to wake up! No! She's not ready to get married.
She thought she would be alright when she finally accepts her reality, but no! This is harder than she thought. She was going to leave the place she grew up in. She would leave her parents and her friends, only memories of them would stay with her. Elen almost broke down in tears, she couldn't cry now, or else her mother might suddenly get worried. Making her mother worry was the last thing she would do! She couldn't let her mother see her so disheveled. She needed to act fine, this wasn't a shock anymore because it was her fate. She shouldn't think more about it and just accept this truth already!!
The maids helped her take her bath. Amara saw the emotionless face their princess was giving and she knew it was hard for her but she needed to accept this for her sake or she'll break down.
The bath was over and they took her into her room. They oiled her body and applied different perfumes. As per the traditions, the bride must apply a strong perfume to make them catch the groom's attention. Elen thought that all this traditions were silly but traditions were traditions, they have to follow them. Elen sighed inwardly as she saw how hard the maids were working to get their jobs done perfectly.

Meanwhile,,,
"I can't believe our daughter would finally leave us." Emilia said to her husband.
"Yes Emilia, she's going to leave us and stay with her husband, she can't possibly stay here with us forever....but I just hope she'll be alright after today." Lucid said, his concern for his daughter had reached its peak. He didn't know if she would be fine after this but he had trust in fate and he'll wait for it to take it's cause. But...he hopes that fate would make her be happy.
"I just hope that too." She said as she wiped the small drop of tears on her face.
"This is the day we've all been waiting for, cheer up and don't cry or else, you'll make our daughter even more nervous." He teased.
"Yes, that's right...let's go check how Amir and Ellie are progressing with the instructions." She said and the king nodded.
...
"No....don't put that there, it should be up here...it's not going to get noticed from up...make it go down a little." Ellie instructed the maids that were made to decorate the hall. The wedding was supposed to be held in the night and these people aren't even doing anything to make it fast! She's planned many events in the past, when her father was still alive, that's just what she loved doing. Her father would tell her not to stress out but she wouldn't listen and sneakily instruct the maids to carry out their job effectively.
She smiled at the thought, she remembered when her father would scold her for being too much of a control freak. He would tell her to go and rest but as the mischievous girl that she is, she won't listen and just keep in doing what her heart pleases.
She shook her head and brought herself back to the present. Now, she was given a second chance of living her life, she was so happy that the king and queen bed took her in. They were her salvation.
Just as she was about to get down, she bent her ankle and fell. Seconds had passed by but the upcoming pain she was waiting for never came! But before she could fall on the floor. A swift arm held her waist from falling over.
She looked into those eyes. Those shining black eyes, the most annoying person on earth. He should have let her fall! Why did he come to save her?! Now she'll be stuck with him!!
"Hello beauty". Amir said with his seductive voice. Ellie had noticed lately that he's been trying to flirt with her. She knew this boy too well. He's every girl's dream but not hers, he's too annoying for her to like him.
He already left so why did he come back?! Ellie rolled her eyes inwardly. How could a person be this annoying?! "I have a name. My name's not 'beauty'." She said.
"Oh, ok. Hello Hel--- I mean Ellie." He said still with his seductive voice.
"Thanks for helping me, you can let go now." She said.
He was hesitant a bit, but he eventually put her down.
"Can you continue giving them instructions? I want to go see Elen." She said.
Amir was about to reject but she didn't even let him speak. She just walked past him and left.
What just happened? How can a whole 'Amir' stand and just give instructions without flirting?!! He can't possibly flirt with the maids!! When did he even start to do all of this silly things all because of a girl?!! Now he'll have to do the work for her!! But nonetheless, today's his best friend's wedding, he's just doing this for her and not because Ellie told him to do so.
He took a deep breath and he started doing his work...
