Lexar and his brother calix came to Philadelphia the day after my acceptance letter to meet with Clinton about our wedding.
I was so excited and nervous at the same time, I had spent moments being a part of weddings and now It was finally my turn to become a royal bride.
A knock came on my door as I kept on with my daydreams and lay on my bed. Who is it "I replied".
"it is I," Avian said making her way into the room and behind her was an elegantly dressed woman.
I am lady Cordelia the royal seamstress in all of Bulgaria "she introduce herself in esteemed confidence".
She took measurements of me and gave me various designs of royal wedding dresses on a scroll. I made a choice and she finalized the measurements before leaving.
Shortly after she left, the ring maker walked in and requested I stretch out my fingers for proper measurements.
Immediately she left the room, I landed belly flat on the bed and sighed with relief. I wasn't used to all these treatments, it felt like I was gradually been transformed into a whole other person.
Avian insisted on making me some lavender tea to relieve me of the stress, I sat patiently on the bed and daydreamed of the coming event. Moments later, she returned with a gray marble mug filled with tea and on a tray with a plate of shortbread cookies by the side.
I sat joyfully on the armchair in front of my mirror and gracefully munched on the plate filled with cookies with unending sips of the warm relaxing tea.
My mind flushed with excitement as I sat on the chair with myself laid back on the chair after a mid-noon meal.
I became so relaxed that I went fast asleep unknowingly, I dozed off still sitting on the armchair. I tilted continuously on the chair as it became much uncomfortable the deeper asleep I was.
I stood from the chair and walked wearingly to my bed and enchanted myself into a deep sleep.
I was so deep into sleep and I was loving it until I was woken up by the steady footsteps of Vivian as she made her way into my room.
I am so sorry Iris, I never knew you were asleep "she apologized noticing the nauseous look I wore as I squeezed my face against my eye.
It is fine "I replied and got out of bed immediately".
I know I haven't come over since the wedding preparations started and I wish you to understand that I was so busy with the kingdom affairs that the days swept themselves into nights.
It is all right and I understand what you mean, it isn't easy been a queen I know "I reassured with a smile"
We both gave each other a hug and went out on a stroll around the castle gardens one last time.
We discussed a lot about wedding traditions and the ups and downs of knowledge and when we got tired of walking round the castle in circles, we sat on a nicely carved bench by the meadows and inhaled the fresh air of the evergreen trees.
Lexar lay on his bed with his arms crossed over his chest as he stares deeply at the castle ceilings, it had been just two days since he las t saw Iris and he felt like having her wrapped into his arms.
His lips curled in sensation from his thoughts, ever since she agreed on his proposal everything changed for him. He had trained on becoming a better man and the best husband one could ever be.
He could imagine her smile in front of him as he tilted to the other side of the bed admiring her beauty without her presence.
Argh! The things love makes one do "he exclaimed".
