Wedding Preparations
Chiffon's body was submerged in a small pool filled with flower petals. Her body had already been cleaned, and purified. What was left were the finishing touches, before she wore the bridal gown that the Guardian had personally chosen from the Shop of Babylon for her to wear.
A few minutes later, a lady wearing a veil approached the pool, carrying a bath towel.
"Come," the lady ordered.
Chiffon stood up and waded towards the lady, who had the towel spread out wide. As the lady dried the body of the little girl, she couldn't help but be amazed at how smooth, and radiant Chiffon's skin was.
Perhaps it was due to the cleansing, or the purification ceremony, but the young girl's skin had returned to its clean and untainted state.
After drying her off, the lady led her to a room where a two-meter-tall mirror stood. Chiffon gazed at this mirror unflinchingly, and stood straight. No ripples of emotions could be seen in her eyes.
