CHAPTER 39

Bryanna finally permitted me to open my eyes, I stared in front of the vanity in full shock and surprise by the wonderful transformation she did, I never felt as beautiful in my life she did great wonders and I was proud of it my confidence leveled up and I was more than ready to meet everyone.

I admired most the beautiful blue tulle long dress she put me in, it was fantasy and, in some way, I felt comfortable in it which was new and different judging by the style of clothes am usually found in.

Any words or are you just going to keep admiring your beauty "Bryanna said with a soft smile and a teasing wink". I was so out of words, not knowing what to say next I just gave her an everlasting hug. Thank you so much Bryanna you are my fairy godmother "I whispered". But it is a little out of my comfort zone and a little different from my go-to dresses.

Are you going to keep complaining or you are going to praise me for a job well done now I feel what the maids go through "Bryanna murmured with a rather sad look"?

Please don't feel crossed by what I had said, I said it is a different look, not a bad one. If I am been honest, I would say it is an exquisite look that I had always ignored. Thank you for making it clear. "I said to make things clear and avoided getting her feelings hurt.

now that you have been all dolled up, all we need is your prince charming, "she said in a deep stare with her arms crossed against each other and a quirky smile.

We have used up enough of our time and am sure everyone is willing to see you, I took in some nice breaths feeling awkward like I was about to, walk in a ball ceremony. It was a confusing feeling, maybe it was the clothes or something else I didn't figure out.

About to reach out for the doorknob, I remembered the sight of the fair woman who stood before me when I got to the castle entrance earlier. "Why the hold up did you forget something". Bryanna noticed my pause.

I just remembered something, do you by chance notice the fair lady who welcomed me, alongside everyone else "I asked wearing a curious and questioning look".

Oh, you mean lady Cordelia she is Lazarus' fiancée and they would be getting married very soon, which brings about the celebration which would be held in Philadelphia. "Bryanna said stylishly".

I nodded not wanting to ask any further questions knowing all would be answered down the stairs.

We both walked down the stairs looking as pretty as ever and surprisingly we met no one in the living room. A maid approached us noticing our reactions and informed us that they all were in the courtroom.

The maid escorted us both into the court and bowed to everyone before leaving, finally, you both are here, please have a sit. there is an important meeting going on.

Duke Buckingham began, as you all know Lazarus and Lady Cordelia are engaged and Clinton is the crown prince there is a need for a coronation to be crowned the new king of Philadelphia. This brings us to the reason for this meeting "I suggest we hold both the coronation party and the wedding party together.

That isn't all, it would be a ceremony to celebrate Philadelphia's victory in the war and also to introduce Clinton's bride-to-be Vivian to the whole of Philadelphia as the new queen.

I stared wide-eyed in excitement at his statement, I was overjoyed on hearing the news of Clinton getting married but she questioned in her thoughts what princess Vivian was and of which land.

She knew all explanations remained to Clinton.

*********************

Everyone was dismissed after the announcement and the first thing I was assured to do was to meet Clinton for an explanation.

I reached for the garden because I knew that was his favorite spot.

Upon getting to the garden, I watched him for a little before making my presence known to him. I was just wondering why I wasn't the first person to be aware of your marriage.

It was part of my intention, it is just that I didn't know how you were going to react "he said nervously.

What do you mean the way I was going to react, oh or is it because she is a maid from uncle's castle?

How did you know that "Clinton said in shock". Bryanna told me, Clinton you are going to be a king what I or anyone else thinks doesn't matter, so far you are happy with the marriage and you love her. Nothing should be in your way.

Clinton smirked looking fascinated by my words and said "what do you know about being in love" or… is there someone I need to know about "Lexar said stepping forward with an interrogative look.

Feeling uncomfortable I started to blush at his words, "noticing my impression, stopped and looked away with a smirk.

Without thinking twice I left instantly.
