A Night With The King

The next month pretty much went faster than Sophie could have imagined. There was so much to prepare for their wedding and everyone was busy. She didn’t have to worry about any of the preparations but she did do a lot of public appearances, some with Lance, others alone. Even though she had a lot going on with her and a lot of things to learn. She still felt so happy. The people of Otano not only accepted her as their queen but they also made sure she knew that she was loved by them. All the backslash that she had feared for didn’t come. Of course, she knew not everyone would support her but a great number did and that made her so happy. Nothing good comes easy so it was no surprise that she had a pretty hard time getting used to her new status. Lance did his best to make everything very easy for her. He was a darling man and she felt so lucky to have him in her life. He listened to her and was always considerate of her wants and needs.

Sophie stared at herself in the mirror as the stylist and beautician put the finishing touches to her makeup. It was her wedding day and even though she looked so huge at eight months pregnant, she still looked so beautiful.

“And now to the final touch,”

The beautician said and picked up the beautiful diamond crown. Sophie held her breath as the crown was placed gently on her head. She let out a soft sigh in awe. It was beautiful, perfect, and fitted her so well. The crown was only for the wedding, after the marriage vows exchange, she would be crowned and get a new crown that she would wear for as long as Lance reigns as king. She looked at the woman in the mirror before her and had to blink back tears because she didn’t want to cry and ruin her makeup.

“All done, my queen, you are ready to get married,”

The beautician said with a friendly smile. Sophie admired herself some more.

“Thank you for making me beautiful and for finding a dress that could fit me,”

She said to her. Sophie was dressed in traditional Otano royal bride attire. The dress was made simple due to her being pregnant but that didn’t make it any less pretty. The dress was an embodiment of elegance, grace, and timeless sophistication. The gown was crafted from the finest ivory silk satin. Even though the designs were kept simple, they still had the harmonious blend of classic romance and modern allure which could captivate all eyes that behold it and Sophie loved it.

“I didn’t have to do a lot of work because you, my queen made everything easy, I enjoyed working with you and I truly wish you a happy married life,”

The beautician said and Sophie smiled at her before turning back to the mirror. She had less than two hours before she could finally be called Lancelot’s wife and the queen of Otano and every minute that passed made her both excited and nervous.

“You look so beautiful,”

Roseline announced as she walked in. Over the last month, they have gotten closer. Roseline was a great person and a good friend. Sophie liked her and enjoyed her company. She learned a lot from the princess. They had a lot of things in common and also had common goals which helped them get along really well and they both planned a project that would start after Sophie puts to birth. The project was meant to help the women of Otano and Sophie couldn’t wait for it to kick start. Sophie asked her to be her maid of honor and the princess had agreed without any questions. She played a major role in the overall preparations for the wedding.

Of course, people were surprised by their closeness because they may have thought the princess would not want anything to do with the royal family after her wedding was called off. The princess who was head over heels in love with Patrick said she wasn’t one to hold a grudge, especially with people who she could easily be friends with. Which was why she chose to still remain in Otano after what happened with Lance and their almost-marriage. She also said she was glad she did because now she found the one for her and a home in Otano. It was a happy ending for the four of them. Hopefully, Patrick man up and do what’s right by the princess.

“So beautiful, such a beautiful bride and queen.”

Roseline continued. Sophie smiled.

“Thank you, Rosy, you look pretty,”

Sophie complimented as the princess came to her and hugged her.

“Wow, Lance that lucky man,”

The princess complimented.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“My queen,”

Riley cheered when she walked in too. Riley, another friend that she was glad to have met. The young woman has been a great help and friend to Sophie.

“You look so beautiful. I am sure the king will fall in love with you again if he sees you,”

Riley commented.

“Such a flatterer, thank you, Riley, you look pretty too,”

Sophie complimented her.

“It is almost time for you to leave,”

Riley announced and Sophie nodded. The wedding was being held at the cathedral after which there would be a royal feast. There have been lots of activities and celebrations over the past weeks and it will continue till the end of the month. Lance had asked her where she would like to go for their honeymoon and Sophie had picked his house in the wild where they spent that weekend without any thoughts. She liked their time there and felt it fitted well as a honeymoon location.

“I am ready,”

Sophie responded. She was ready, she had been ready for months now. Even though she was ready, it still took more than an hour for her to leave the main palace. There were various activities that had to be done. Sophie enjoyed every one of the activities, especially the one where a selected number of women performed in front of her. She also got a special visit from the former queen.
