The Throne Is Mine

To Amelia’s dismay, the day of her wedding came faster than she would have liked. As Killian promised he did not stay with her in the night which meant she was unable to sleep and stayed awake for many hours thinking about her wedding and what would happen afterward. She was wonderful until she was left alone with her mind which thought of everything that could go wrong. Amelia was awakened early in the morning by Gina who came with Edith to start prepping with the traditions from the Blackwell kingdom. Then they all needed to travel down to the border where the wedding would take place and right after, she would immediately be crowned queen of the north.

"You don’t look happy, princess. I have not witnessed many weddings but shouldn’t the bride be happy? Not that I do not enjoy your sullen mood more," said Edith. She preferred seeing others sad instead of too happy. "Do you think there might be a fight from both sides?" She smiled.

"Edith, I feel you want a fight to happen so you can take part. I will task you with the job of preventing fights. I am happy but my nerves are getting the best of me. I am close to getting what I always wanted. There’s a lot for me to think about aside from the wedding," Amelia replied.

"Most brides feel more nervous than happy leading up to the wedding so you are fine. Once you put on your dress, get all dolled up and finally marry Killian, your nerves will fade away. I have the most experience dealing with weddings to know this. Instead of being nervous, you should be happy to see your grandmother soon," Gina said to take Amelia’s mind away from the wedding ceremony.

"I am looking forward to seeing her today. We’ve been apart for too long. I hope she has arrived first so we can chat. Do you see her carriage?" Amelia asked, looking out the window to try spotting her grandmother’s carriage amongst the many others as they finally arrived at the border.

Amelia didn’t wait for someone to open her carriage door for her and did it herself as she was in a hurry to find her grandmother.

"What is her grandmother like? I have only heard stories of her tyrant father," Edith looked to Gina.

"Sometimes you will forget that lady Margaret is royalty. She is different from the rest of Amelia’s family. More fun to be around but make no mistake. She is always ready to kill anyone who tries to harm Amelia. You will take a liking to her. She birthed king Richard but she is nothing like her son. Amelia, wait for us!" Gina called behind Amelia.

"The two of you are moving too slowly," Amelia answered.

"Princess," Cyrus called to her. He was riding behind her carriage on a horse and quickly came to her side when she left the carriage in a hurry. "There is still a lot of danger around."

"Cyrus, can you find my grandmother for me?"
