chapter 25

__safia

 Safia woke up in the morning at her usual time, she wore just a plain dress then head out for breakfast, everyone around her was going up and down, busy with one thing or the other, a servant carefully put down a tray of food and a cup in front of safia, he bowed and was about to rush away when safia spoke

*I know the guest are arriving today but its not now is it, why are you all rushing and tiring yourself out, just be careful and don't hurt yourself in the process, okay* the servant gratefully nods and bow before he walks away, confused at the princess behavior, "is she not excited?" He thought.

Safia sighs and starts to eat her breakfast thinking " I just hope my little plan works" . Afterwards, she headed back into her room and waited as she read her favorite adventure book.

 After hours sir Anthony knocks on safia's door, he's all dressed up formally, wearing all black, his blond hair shining and green eyes looking charming as ever.

 Opening the door safia whines * they're here already..* Anthony flatly reply *his majesty sent me to escort you outside to welcome the guest, he is waiting* stepping aside a long line of girls made their way inside safia's room, they're the stylist, closing the door the head stylist, a kind looking blond woman named Brenda who safia has gotten well familiar with through all their many practice dress ups, cheerfully spoke * today is the day my darling, let's quickly get you all dolled up now*

 They dressed safia in a beautiful off shoulder red ruby dress, literal rubies embedded at the end of the dress that flows around her feet and is longer from the back, a pair of deep red shoes gleaming and reflecting the glow of the rubies, and a pair of long red soft gloves that reached her elbows, a lightly red colored scarf wrapped around her neck, hair neatly styled into a low twisted bun with a ruby red taira gracefully atop it.

 The kingdom gates are widely open so as the palace gates, people line up along the streets all looking excited and conversing happily enjoying the fully open kingdom, since it's rarely ever opened like that. soldiers standing guard on high alert in all parts and corners of the kingdom, even atop the walls, and everywhere is decorated with elegant Royal flowers, a soft silver carpet spread in a fat line all the way from the palace gates to the set of double stairs one has to climb to enter the castle.

 Safia slowly descend down the stairs and stood next to the king at the edge of the stairs, he smiles at her and reminded * don't forget to smile and behave like a proper Royal lady* Safia gave a small smile and nod.

 And just then, the excited chatter among the people intensifies as they all rush out of the road, a set of carriages made their way into the kingdom, before they enter the palace gates a man step onto a small podium at the side of the palace, cupping his hands around his mouth he loudly announce * We welcome prince Alexander and princess susana from the kingdom of Talan!, known for their specially in the forging of weapons and great armory!! *

 As he finished saying that, 3 carriages entered the palace and come to a stop just a few feets away from the silver carpet, everyone's attention was on the first carriage thinking the royals are in it, the door opened, the carriage shook and something big jumped out of it, the people all gasps and took a step back, safia's mouth hang open while the king closed his eyes and muttered in annoyance * they brought the cats...*

 Two giant cats stood proudly, one is black and the other is white, both the cats turn their heads towards the second carriage so as the people, the door opens and this time the royal guest steps out, and again the crowd gasps in shock and Amazement.

 The people if blackmoon belief girls are supposed to wear dress, but this princess is wearing trousers, black fitting trousers, a white shirt that has the first button open and a black leather jacket, but what was more shocking is that, she has a large sword almost reaching her whole height strap to her back, and a dagger strap to her hips, legs covered in black shiny heel boots.

While the prince also wore a similar outfit, black fitting trousers, black shirt and black leather jacket paired with black, not heel boots, and like her he also has a similar looking large sword strap to his back, and medium twin blades strap to his hips.

 Both of them share similar facial features, hazel colored eyes, dark long eyelashes and full perfectly shaped eyebrows, full puffy lips, a tin nose with dark brown hair, the princess hair is longer than the prince hair, styled into a fine braid princess crown, she wore no tiara or jewelry. 

 The two royals looks towards the masses and slightly bow in greetings, the action made safia smile approvingly at them, along with their giant cats they step on to the silver carpet and gracefully walk towards the royals of blackmoon, as the third carriage opened and a few servants step out carrying several boxes of gifts, blackmoons servants quickly rush to help them carry out the big boxes.                      

   ( the kingdom of talen is ruled by queen Olivia, and her twins, prince Alexander and princess Susana, the kingdom has a forest-like structure like black moon but their forest is deeper and thicker, like the announcer said, they are specialized in forging great weapons and armor.

but of course, like black moon with the werewolf situation, every kingdom has its own problems to deal with, and in Talan, they have giant cats that destroy their buildings, streets and crush some humans too, luckily a cat is still a cat no matter how big it is, they made peace with the giant cats by offering them shelter and food, so now they're basically their pets, and means of transportation.)

  As the prince and princess reached safia and the king, king Travis spoke * prince Alexander, princess Susana, we welcome you to black moon kingdom and your....cats* Alexander answers * thank you your majesty* and they all bowed and cutesy to each other, susana spoke to safia *I like your dress* and safia replied with a smile * thank you princess susana* susana suggest *oh please, enough with the formalities, call me Susan* and safia agreed * okay susan, call me safia too, and wow, your dagger is getting the attention* as safia said that the king looked at her from the corner of his eyes like " watch your curiosity" but Susan didn't seem to mind, instead she smiles and spoke

     *oh yeah, this baby is amazing, which reminds me* she made a gesture with her hand and a girl that looks like a servant but not quite, brings forth a tray covered with a white cloth, Susan took off the cloth and picked up something wrap with another white cloth then hands it to safia * Here, a gift from me* safia took it and unwrapped the cloth revealing a breathtaking, sharp looking dagger.
