A Precious Wedding Gift

Soon, the meal began, filling the hall with the gentle clinking of forks and spoons against the plates. The atmosphere eased as everyone settled into the comfort of their surroundings.

Taking the lead in engaging Anna, the king initiated a small talk, his voice warm and inviting. 

"I hope you both had a restful morning. How are you feeling right now, Anna?" he inquired, genuine concern lacing his words.

The princess's voice, filled with polite gratitude, responded, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am feeling much better now."

"I never thought a day like this would come," Queen Emelda remarked with a hint of surprise in her voice.

Curious, Anna inquired, "Why is that, Your Majesty?"

The queen sighed softly as she recalled her memories.
