Chapter 355
"Time flies fast. It still feels like yesterday I found out that there was a child growing inside of me and Lilith was sneaking me souls to eat. Now you are all grown up and about to become queen. Nervous?" Amelia asked, walking closer to Mara as the maids continued to get her dressed for the big day.
"Now that I am not standing before a large crowd, I am not nervous. Standing before the people as I move from princess to queen will change that," Mara answered.
"You don’t need to look down at the crowd often. Look away when you start to feel nervous. That is what I used to do when I was younger. I still do it now. Trust me, when you get out there, you won’t feel as you do now," Amelia promised.
"You and father won’t leave right away, right? I need you here for the rest of the day. You are dismissed," Mara told the maids. She needed to have a small chat with her mother before going out to start a new Chapter in her life. "The only thing I worry about is that you and father must head to the north to rule."
"This kingdom now belongs to you so we must head to the north castle. The throne here is no longer mine. It has a ruler I am proud of. We will move to the north tomorrow afternoon, but it does not mean we will not come to see you. I have been learning to fly for a reason. Your father and I will only live in the north for one year until Kila is old enough to become its queen," said Amelia.
The Bune kingdom would be ruled by two queens since the lands put together were too much for one ruler. Kila was one year younger than Mara and would soon be named queen of the north.
"I hope that time slows down. All of my babies are growing too fast. Adyan already speaks of wanting to explore the world. I am lucky that Silas has an interest in the underworld and wants to aid Lucifer in controlling part of it. You are old enough to take care of yourself and make your own decisions-"
"I will always come to you when I need help or I just want to be near you, mother. I will never be too old to come to you for a hug. Thank you," Mara said, picking up her dress to walk over to Amelia for a hug.
"For what? Giving you hugs? You never have to thank me," Amelia said, enjoying the hug nevertheless.
