Chapter 266: She Fell in Love
Dani had a broad smile on her face as she turned around and left Dahlia in her bedchamber. She was whistling as she walked through the hallways, happy that Dahlia and Zoran would finally be together.
For days now she could tell how empty Dahlia’s smiles were. She was a nice woman, and she wanted her to be happy. She couldn’t imagine how those two, Zoran and Dahlia, suffered for all these years. Dahlia had lost sixteen years of her life while Zoran waited for just as long. Yes, the two of them shared five years of being together, but according to Dahlia, they had no label for their relationship during those same five years.
"Look at you walking like you’re over the moon, Dani," Zaila scoffed as she approached her. "Your wedding is in three days, right? You should be preparing to travel by now since you don’t want to travel with Chancellor Abel in his mist form."
Dani blinked. Right, she almost forgot that she would be sailing with Zaila to Ebodia in the fastest of Valcrez’s fleet. Despite that, she would be arriving there in two days’ time.
"Let me wrap things things first," Dani replied. "We can leave before sunset."
"Alright then. Too bad Laura won’t be able to attend with the civil service exams pushing ahead of time, but at least Niran could come with Her Majesty while we meet with Krisha there," Zaila snorted. "Anyway, what do you think will happen? Taro and Krisha will arrive there before evening, and I actually feel nervous for her. I feel like her father, Duke Rigot, might have a heart attack the moment he finds out."
Dani hummed in agreement. Zaila could be right, especially knowing the personality of Krisha’s father. Unfortunately for the Duke, Krisha was a stubborn daughter from the start, one who he couldn’t cage and wrap around his finger to do whatever he wanted.
She could still remember how Krisha’s father tried to lock her up since he didn’t want his daughter hanging around with her and the rest. He said that their influence wasn’t good for his daughter, but that wasn’t enough to stop Krisha from doing what she wanted. She always had her ways like most of their Queen’s shadow maidens. In her case, she just always snuck out without her father even knowing about it.
Dani unknowingly chuckled upon recalling those funny memories about Krisha. Some things just didn’t stop being amusing despite the passage of time.
