The maids arranged Irene a bath containing a lot of scented oils for her skin and Irene was helped into the bath the warm water helped calm her nerves down. As the maids help clean her skin and wash her dark silly hair in the most delicate way Irene was lost in her own world. Irene found herself in an enchanted garden were she saw her mother in a house by the window brushing her hair.Irene clutched her chest so tight hoping it was her mother she saw and not another person reaching the luxurious house Irene rang the doorbell waiting anxiously for the door to be opened and that's when she saw her mother staring at her with her bright purple eyes in the most gentle manner."Mother Irene said as she embraced her mother in the tightest hug ever."Why did you leave me all alone in this world,I thought you promised that we would stay together forever".Irene's mother still staring at her smiled and said "My darling daughter see how beautiful you've grown" she said as she teared up a bit."Mother please don't cCrystal w ene i don't have much time but always remember that i will always be there for you and always remember to treat others with kindness even if they are not nice to you" as Irene still hugged tightly she suddenly disappeared and all Irene could say was "mother"as she woke up from her dream."My princess are you alright" said Crystal one of the maids and Irene's closest friend."I am alright" Irene said and Crystal looked at her with a worried gaze. She knew Irene didn't want to marry king Reagan but she couldn't do anything as she also didn't have a say in the matter.As the maids helped Irene out of the bath and wore her a robe, Crystal held Irene's hands and said "Don't worry even if you're marring someone you don't love i will make you look like the prettiest girl in the ball that when king Reagan sees you he won't be able to take his eyes off you and your stepmother and her daughters would be jealous.Irene looked at Crystal and gave her a weak smile "Thank you Crystal at least we won't be separated as i can carry a few of my maids to king Reagan kingdom."And you are so much more than my maid and i am grateful for all you've done for me" Irene said as she looked at Crystal with tears in her eyes and Crystal immediately hugged her and wiped her tears "Don't worry Irene everything is going to be okay, just sit and watch me work my magic" Crystal said with a wink trying to go cheer Irene up. As Irene sat down Crystal and the rest of the maids dressed her up Irene Couldn't help but think of how her life would be when she marries the king and how he would treat her.She was afraid that she might end up being trapped in the castle all her life just like she is in her own home,but she snapped out of her thoughts when she she saw her reflection in the mirror.She was wearing a beautiful classic off white o neck long sleeve wedding dress with a simple but elegant lace that hugged her curves well, her long dark silky hair was braided into a fish tail with a beautiful purple casdre flower Bridal hair comb with rose gold crystals on it added at the right side of her hair that matches her bright purple eyes.Irene was so stunned with her appearance she thought she was looking at a stranger, with tears in her eyes she looked at Crystal and hugged her " its okay Irene don't ruin your beautiful face with tears"."Oh crystal" as the two embraced each other some more they heard a knock on the door."Who could that be its not even sunset yet" said Crystal as she opened the door.It was sir Dominick Irene's personal knight"your highness i would like inform you that your father wishes to speak to you","tell him to come in" said Irene.
As king Donald entered the room all the maids bowed including Irene as he made his way to her.King Donald is fine man in his forties with light brown hair and green eyes."Your majesty","Irene my daughter look how beautiful you are"."Thank you your majesty"Irene responded formally.,"no need to be so formal with me Irene i am your father". King Donald knew he had not been the best father to Irene and always neglected her but he did it for her own good because of the queen.He knew the queen almost killed Irene when she was a baby when her mother died but the only reason he neglected Irene even though he loved her as much as her mother which he deeply misses was because queen Nadia her stepmother made him promise that if he puts her children first in everything before Irene, she would spare her life.I am her to escort you down he isle as the wedding is about to begin and Irene reluctantly took his hand as she held bouquet of flowers.
