The morning light streamed through the grand windows of my room, casting a soft, golden glow on the dark, polished floor. I stirred, stretching out with a content sigh, only for the peace to be shattered as the doors burst open.
A parade of at least ten servants swarmed in like an army preparing for battle.
"Good morning, Lady Aurelia! It's time to get ready!" one announced cheerfully, her voice far too perky for this hour.

The head servant, a no-nonsense woman named Mira, stepped forward with a clipboard in hand. "Your wedding day, my lady. We have much to do. Please, to the shower immediately."
Before I could protest, I was swept into a luxurious bathroom, steam already rising from a massive marble tub fitted with enchanted faucets that poured water scented with lavender and amber.
