Chapter 289: The Third Lifetime, Adele. (16)
Baron estate.
Thirheria.
**************
The grand estate buzzed with frenetic energy as the day of the royal wedding approached. Lady Eleanor, Adele’s mother, moved with graceful authority through the lavish corridors of the palace, summoning every essential expert for the monumental occasion. The opulence of the setting, with its gilded walls and elaborate tapestries, seemed to reverberate with the excitement of the forthcoming celebration.
First to arrive was the tailor, a distinguished man known for his unparalleled skill in crafting garments for royalty. He brought with him a selection of the finest silks and velvets, rich with hues of royal blue, ivory, and gold. Adele’s wedding gown, a vision of intricate lace and beaded embroidery, would be a masterpiece of elegance and grandeur. The tailor’s team worked meticulously, measuring and adjusting, ensuring that the gown fit Adele perfectly.
As the tailor’s team worked, the makeup artist arrived, her kit filled with an array of luxurious cosmetics. She set up in a sunlit corner of Adele’s dressing room, where soft beams of light illuminated the delicate features of the bride-to-be. With gentle strokes and expert hands, she applied a touch of foundation, a hint of blush, and a subtle shade of lip color that enhanced Adele’s natural beauty without overshadowing it. Her hair was styled into an elaborate updo, adorned with pearls and flowers, adding to her ethereal appearance.
Meanwhile, the governess, a stately woman with a deep understanding of court etiquette, oversaw the final preparations. She ensured that every detail, from Adele’s posture to her poise, was impeccable. Her guidance was both comforting and essential, helping Adele manage her nervous anticipation with grace.
The hallways and reception rooms were adorned with opulent decorations. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, their light reflecting off the golden drapes and floral arrangements that filled every corner. A team of florists had worked tirelessly to create towering displays of roses, lilies, and orchids, their fragrances blending in a sweet symphony. Tables were set with fine china and polished silverware, ready for the grand feast that would follow the ceremony.
Outside, the royal carriages were prepared for the journey. The magnificent carriages, draped in sumptuous fabrics and pulled by regal horses, stood in the courtyard. Their polished surfaces gleamed in the morning light, a testament to the significance of the day. The air was crisp with excitement as Adele, accompanied by her mother and closest attendants, entered one of the carriages.
