CHAPTER 43

CHAPTER 43 the grand ceremony.

today is Cordelia and Vivian's day, a day every maiden wishes to witness and become a part of, Bryanna and I marched to Vivian's room to see how the maids handled and cared for her.

She looked so beautiful in the pink dusky powder blush the maids put on her, the whole room was busy and all the maids were engaged in all sorts of activities, I could notice Vivian's eyes and emotions through the view from the mirror.

You look so beautiful "Bryanna and I whispered into her ears as she sat before the vanity in a white silken robe". I noticed the blush on her cheeks as she smiled at our words.

Ladies get all your work done immediately and make sure the future queen, is ready before she gets called to the hall. "I said slapping my palms against each other to enhance their work effort".

We kissed her cheeks before leaving for Cordelia's room, getting to Cordelia's room we found her still in her bathrobe and having her maids style her hair and perfuming her body, while she sat with her head laid back and her feet stretched forward unto a stool.

We exchanged pleasantries with smiles and delight, Bryanna and I very much enjoyed being in charge of the ceremony and also admired the whole process of the bride getting glammed up by her lady's maids.

We both went to our rooms after making sure everything was going smoothly as planned, we both wore the same dress. A blue velvet dress with long loose hanging sleeves.

Everyone was seated on their rightfully preserved sits, as Calix walked into the halls looking so mystical in his pallium regale which was cotton soft and inches longer than his actual height.

Everyone rose from their sits as he marched diligently to his throne with the escort of several knights behind him.

Standing from the crowd as everyone else took their sits was an old but able man, we are all sitting here today to witness not only the wedding of the crown prince and young duke but also the coronation of him been crowned king of Philadelphia.

Azar, Azar..." the guests addressed, all hail crown Prince Clinton "they all chanted blissfully" while holding up their mazer-like cups.

The old man who addressed himself as the Archbishop, stepped closer to Clinton as he remained sitting on the throne. The man took hold of the crown next to the throne placing it on his head.

The crowd went wild again as they chanted Azar, Azar...…." But this time they followed by praising "All hail king Clinton the third".

That brought to the end of the coronation and everyone stood to grab some desserts on the all-you-can-eat buffet feasting table.

Everyone got back to their sits, ready for the next course of the ceremony. Clinton went to his dressing room to change into his royal wedding attire.

Most of the guards remained in the hall while the royal butler, escorted him back to his room, with guards on both sides of the passageways. I informed Avian to get the Flowers ready in a woven basket for the future queen's grand entrance.

Avian nodded and went straight to the gardens to get the flowers ready, while Bryanna and I along with some other maids went straight to Vivian's room to get her ready to be presented to the people of Philadelphia and also great monarch from neighboring countries and kingdoms.
