Acantha looked at the invitation that was in her hand.
This is an invitation for her and Helion’s wedding.
The emperor surely did leave so invitation for the Abellardes, and only a few people know about their wedding, as they wanted Noraya to know after they got married.
"Are you really sure about this one, Aki?" her father asked.
I looked at him and nodded as I ate so cakes that were served by Mildred, who was also there at the corner.
"Co on, everyone, it’s not just that I am going to die; I am just getting married," I said to light the room as the atmosphere seed like soone was dying.
"You’re not dying but you will be gone from here. I don’t have anyone here from now on," her father said dramatically.
I know father can be very emotional when it cos to , but it didn’t cross my mind that he would tear up about it.
"If Helion ever lays his finger on you, just tell and I will kill him, and if he cheats on you, I will know and I will haunt him," father said as he looked at tenderly with his eyes full of love for .
"I know, father, and no worries, I could manage him myself," I said as I ate another cake again.
"And don’t worry, Mildred, you’re coming with ," I said as I looked at Mildred, who was sniffing in the corner as she was listening to us.
Mildred looked at while she was wiping her tears from her eyes.
"The emperor didn’t want to wait for the empress, as he said that sothing might happen as Abanoon was just there lurking," father said as he looked at while he was drinking his coffee.
"By the way, Aki..." her father said as he put down his cup and looked at her.
"What was it, father?" I asked as I looked at him.
"I didn’t see the Abellardes that were in our dungeon..." he said as he looked at as he said those words.
"I hide her daughter and set my Mada Abellarde free," I said as I wipe my mouth using the napkin.
"What do you an?" Father asked and it seems like I need to tell him the whole story.
----------------
"That’s why she wasn’t there..." her father said as she looked at her.
I nodded at him, but he seed to look a little relieved at what she said.
"But what about if she runs away? I heard Paul is also skilled when it cos to wielding dark magic," father said as I looked at him, who looked worried.
It seems like her father still hasn’t gotten over Paul deceiving them for many years by pretending to be Count Iivan, whom her father cherishes, as he said he was more like his brother than a friend.
"No, we made a contract. Mada Abellarde was bound to , and besides, she wasn’t stupid to do that knowing that her beloved daughter was in my care," I said as I drank the water in front of .
Father just nodded at what I said as he also took his cup and drank.
"Did you invite Lady Dreanna and Lady Evangeline?" her father asked her as he finished his drink.
"Yes, I did. They are the closest people who I can call as a friend," I said as I looked at him.
Not that I have any friends anyway, besides... I know Lady Dreanna and Lady Evangeline will bug if I don’t invite them.
"By the way, Father," I said as I called his attention.
"What was it?" he asked as he looked at , waiting for to say sothing.
"I just wanted to ask how things were going on in the south," I asked as I looked at him.
"Everything was fine there, and Lady Dreanna was helping the people there by healing their illness," he said as he looked at .
I just nodded my head at him. it seems like the ability I gifted to Lady Constrin was being used for a good cause.
"I know what you did, Aki," Father said, which made lift my head and et his eyes. I frowned at him as I didn’t get what he ant by that.
"You were the one who gave Lady Constrin her ability," he said as he looked at and sighed.
"How did you know, Father?" I asked as I frowned at what he said.
"Lord Constrin had told in the past that their blessings was slowly weakening, and that Lady Constrin could barely even heal soone’s wound, and then one day she just can do it and treat sothing worse than a wound? And besides, you are the only one I know who could give her that ability, unless Abanoon would do it," he said as he looked at as he chuckled a little bit in the last part.
"I restored her blessing as I know Lady Constrin has a good heart," I said as I looked at my father.
He just nodded at . Father, trust my judgnt when it cos to people.
We just talked that day, and the next day we got busy doing so preparations for the wedding.
Father hired his trusted seamstress, who also lives in our territory.
Then the next day, and the next, and the next, and the next day.
I spent it doing nothing. I was just lying there.
--------------
"My Lady you need to wake up early," I heard soone who was trying to wake up.
I opened my eyes and saw that the sky was still dark, but why are they waking up?
I buried my face in my pillow as I went back to sleep again.
"My Lady... you really need to wake up." this ti I recognized the voice and it was Mildred.
I sat on my bed and was still feeling dizzy as they disturbed my sleep.
"What was it all about, Mildred?" I asked as I yawned and my eyes were still closed.
"You need to take a bath, My Lady." Mildred said as she answered while the other maid pulled my hand to make stand, which I did lazily.
They guided to the bathroom, and as I could sll the milk mixed with rose and lavender, I knew that they had already prepared my bath for whatever they were doing to wake up and disturb my sleep.
I step in the bathtub with their help, as my eyes were still closed.
The maids bathed while I was sleeping.
"Lady Acantha, we need to get up," said one of the maids and I nodded as they helped again.
Why are they moving fast?
This ti I opened my eyes fully and saw many maids were walking back and forth like they were in a race.
I looked around to look for Mildred, and when I spotted her and she saw , she walked to where I was.
"What was going on, Mildred?" I asked as I looked confused at what was happening.
"Have you forgotten about today, My Lady?" Mildred said as she looked at while the other maids were brushing my hair, and so even did my fingers and toenails.
"Is there anything special today?" I said as I yawned again.
"It’s your wedding day today, My lady," she said and it seed like a cold glass of water was poured on and I opened my eyes.
"My wedding?" I asked when I looked at her.
"Yes, today is your wedding day," she said as she nodded while she was looking at the jewelry that I have and seed to be picking out what I should wear.
"Oh, damn..." I said as I almost slapped myself, but I couldn’t, as the maids were still doing it with them.
How can I forget my own wedding?
I looked at the balcony again and saw that it was still really dark.
They are getting married when the sun rises, as she believed it was a good ti to get married to welco new blessings.
I looked at the wedding dress that was in my room. it was a simple wedding dress. it has the crest of the house where she ca from, and there was also the crest of the royal family as a sign that she was accepting to be part of their family.
The dress was not just typical white, as she didn’t want it to be; she wanted sothing new.
The color she chose was a lighter lavender color with gold dust and black and gold crystals on it, and there was also so pattern for her sign as Solaia, which she secretly made the seamstress add on her dress.
She wanted to have a purple one, but she thought it was kind of not right and she wanted to have a simple dress, but the seamstress and her father didn’t let her.
She looked at the dress again as Mildred went to get it and she was assisted by other maids to wear it.
