Wives g******e escape

The Great day has come

Gloriana P.O.V***

After convincing our Father to let her marry the king, Shelorna and I spent the rest of the evening on the wedding's preparations.

We called royal designers, styling tailors, hairdressers, banquet masters, and all the needed servants for the occasion. The meeting takes place at our family's hall, immediately after what everyone start they task either at our mansion for some, or leaving to the royal palace for others.

*Firstly, my elder sister wants the Royal Weddings Hall to be ornate with all kinds of beautiful flowers and artefacts, and bring it to its former glory. 

Orders are therefore given to royal servants to reopen &start by lightening &cleaning.

In fact, the place is a bit dusty &sad, unused since they started executing this killing decision. Just little rays of sun penetrate the hall as bad grass growed on its windows. The thirty meters pillar columns, lined up from both sides of the entrance forming an alley straight to the altar, are spidewebs straying.

That's understandable : up til now, every woman who was picked for the king Zedon didn't give a damn to the place or decor, spilling tears of sorrows instead of love, walking down death instead of aisle. So they didn't protest being married either in the wisemen Assembly's hall or directly in the king's public chambers.

Unlike the previous king's brides, Shelorna wants to properly prepare her royal wedding, and for that she intends to use all her privileges. 

According to the kingdom laws, the queen-to-be has the right &power to call forth &use all the kingdom resources needed.

**secondly, she wants to be prepared and presented to the king more beautiful than ever. The royal styling tailors and hairdressers are to chose altogether with her something conform to the royal wedding's colours while a bit bold to please the king, and at the same time keeping it simple &comfortable as she likes them dress.

***Thirdly, Shelorna wants the finest meals to abound at her wedding party,  wine and other drinks to flow and music to last all night long.

Her wish is to see everyone enjoy and be happy. 

That's what wedding is all about right? Happiness. 

If later on, her rescuing plan failed, she will die knowing she has given a little moment of laughter, enjoyment, peace to the people's heart. 

She hopes the king's people keep this lessons tight to their hearts : Every single instant is worth being savored to the fullest no matter the circumstances, and LOVE is the greatest miracle.

All night long, preparations are supervised by royal experts. And soon the first rays of sun appear...

- wake up sis Sheshe, your Great day has come &you're getting ready like now.

- oh God oh God am I late ? Let's rush... She stutters, jumping out of the bed. I can see she's still tired from the late night sleeping due to wedding preparations.

- No darling you are not late. We still have 02 hours to prepare yourself. 

At what she deeply sighs, relieved.

- I don't understand you. When every other girl will fight back the rushing hours she'll be offered to the king of death, you are here fantasizing and can't wait to go to him ??? 

Mother kind of greeting, sounding at the same time astonished and at the edge of tears.

- I already told you I will take care of her mummy, please don't worry. You know me, I'll never let anyone hurt Sheshe. They must kill me first, and you know it's near to impossible.

I winks at her to reassure her but to no avail, she frowns and shouts at us...

- Both of you want to bury me alive, uselessly giving your lifes away to the king. Hum ? As for you Gloriana, you little arrogant you think you could match the king's soldiers ? If anything happens to you girls, I swear...

But mother can't finish the sentence, as Father placed his thumb to her lips hence cutting it short.

- Don't worry dear. They'll be fine. He shushes her and calms her down for a while before addressing me. "Now straight to the dressing chambers with your sister! go and get yourselves prepared".

And that is our cue to leave. 

Our mother is extremely protective over us. Since the news of Shelorna's futur union to the king, she hasn't stopped crying and muttering about how *what she feared the most for years has finally happened* 

Last evening, during the union preparation meeting, she was there just shooting death glares to everyone who was interacting or giving subjections...

She is effondrée. Which mother will not be.

Just for hers and Father's love, we MUST succeed in this plan.

Many maids were sent to take care of her intimate preparation. 

Lukewarm water has been set in a hot tube for the queen-to-be's bath. She undress and slips under it. 

After been properly washed by her maids, she is immersed in a bassinet of milk, after what she is dried with a towel and massaged with lemon&rose essential oils. Maids affirm these are beauty secrets to moist, soften and shine any skin.

But all those are just protocole &are not necessary for my sister. She is just stunningly beautiful, next to perfect. 

The freshness of her feather-like skin always seemed like she just came out of water and just dried up. Her touch together with her puppy-like emerald eyes would force anyone to give her whatever she demands without even thinking.

Symmetry, sculpture and aboundance are the terms describing better the arms, breasts, butts and legs she's gifted of.

She is dressed in a golden white dress, sprinkled with small emerald stones that give reflection to her look. 

Strapless dress, it enhances her neck adorned with the royal tiaras necklace that the king had her bring. 

Her dress holds Shelorna's body firmly from the breasts down on her wasp waist, to the buttocks, before flaring slightly to the ankles. A long tail then follows.

The hairdresser places as finishing touch a gold pin on her long dark-black hairs, finely styled and rolled around on a spiral form, freeing her neck and giving her more of a queen allure. 

She refuses to wear any makeup, just a mate lipgloss exposing her luscious pink lips.

She wears a 2inch golden heels and she is ready.

She steps out of the chamber and everyone is looking at her, stunned. They've never seen such a beauty. 

Styling tailors, hairdressers, royal servants, household servants and family members are all speechless facing this beauty.

- "You are incredible daughter of mine." Wonders Mother.

- "Thanks Mother. Like mother like daughter" She smiling replied, both getting emotional. I have to stop the coming tears.

- "Mother, The styling tailors made for her a white Golden dress : white because she is still pure, and gold for royal wedding colour. They also think the sexiness of a sleeveless and tight dress will certainly please the king."

-"Anyway the king must be blind to allow himself to lose a pearl like you"

Stated father, winking while finally covering her wholly by a long veil, conforming to the empire traditions.

02 hours pass quickly and the royal soldiers sent to take the future queen to the royal palace have arrived.

I, Gloriana, am also ready. Wearing no jewels if not my sword, fixed on my military official attire . I held up  my black hairs in a ponytail.

- "Father, Mother I love you."

She says hugging tightly both of them under her veil, not preoccupied of her light make-up.

- We love you too. And this is not a good bye, 

Father answers as Mother finds no word to utter, sadness dressing her face.

Shelorna and I enter the royal carriage as the other carriages follow just behind. By others I mean our parents, family members, friends and some of royal experts and servants who came for the preparations.

We are all heading to the king's place.

*******

Shelorna's P.O.V***

This is incredible, my dreams are now coming through. I'm finally marrying the one I love. 

What I dreamed for my whole life happened to me when I didn't expect it no more.

Everything is just beautiful. 

Our carriage  is inching the palace courtyard and I can see all the planted decor. Even what I haven't asked for has be done. There are beautiful flowers everywhere in the Royal palace.

- "Lady Shelorna, the Twin King his highness Zedon is already waiting for you inside the Royal weddings hall. Please will you make us the honor to step out of your caravan and go in ?"

A soldier asks in commanding tone.

- "Time to go down the carriage, we've reached our destination", stated Gloriana. 

We do as commanded and head to the hall entrance. But when they open the giant doors, I stand in awe at the entrance, speechless. The servants did a great job and brought this place back to its former glory.

Ivys, lillies and roses intertwined together are rounding & dressing the 30meters pillar columns lined from both sides of the entrance and leading straight to the altar. Flowers are also hunging all over the hall ceiling.

The place is so clean and net now and sunlight therefore shineth bright inside. 

A red blanket is layed on this alley on which my lover &I will walk in and out.

Musicians start playing the wedding melody I have chosen and I step in, directly followed by my junior sister, who holds the pan of my long dress.

We reach to the alter and my sister took a nearby standing place.

I can see the king face to face pared of all the royal weddings ornaments. Of course he can't see me because of the veil. 

I hence enjoy the view :

He is very tall like 6,5 feet when i'm just 5,4. His short, carefully styled brown hairs are partially resting on his Hard facial features, adding seduction to his natural manly charms. He holds a dark look that is actually trying to see through my veil. Hope I won't disappoint. 

Under his royal tunic, one can perceive the features of a body sculpted by years of trainings and battles.

Everything in him shout strength, magnificence & glory.

Next to him stands the soft & ever loving twin king Zalden, the best man. He is as manly, powerful and charming as his brother, the only differences between them being his golden hairs and his ocean-like blue eyes.

My heart suddenly races miles when king Zedon approaches me and then removes my long veil. 

Our eyes meet and I hold his gaze, trembling lightly. A few seconds already that he is fixing his eyes on mine, I can't help but smile shyly and blush. *s**t what a mess am I, what will he think of me*. 

But I can't read his face expression. Does he like me ? Am I a disappointment, not even worthy to be the king's wife for a night ?

Is my dream over without even starting ? Will he reject me and dishonor my family ?
